    The night in the small wagon was very nice and the "fireplace" has a certain charm. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The small farm with several animals and the possibility to go to the jacuzzi and or sauna is great. You can book rental equipment for a snowshoe hike directly on site. Parking is free of charge. Note that there is no supermarket or restaurant nearby. So you are tied to the accommodation's catering on site. This is very good, but the costs add up!

    The wifi didn't reach the other end of our cabin but this didn't bother us/ there was space in the main building where you could use the wifi if needed.

    My partner and I loved our stay. It was the perfect escape from the city, it was so quiet and peaceful. We did the activities they have available - snow shoeing, saunas and spa and left feeling so rested. The food was a much higher quality than we expected, definitely restaurant quality and the staff was so friendly and welcoming. All the staff remembered my dietary requirements before I had to say anything - even if I hadn't seen that staff member before. The location is so beautiful and it was just bliss.

    Nothing much to complain about. The location is a little remote, so do pick up snacks beforehand if you are the peckish type.

    The property is located on the beautiful island of Sommarøy, about an hour away from central Tromso. If you are not driving, you can call ahead to arrange transport, which is far cheaper than taking a taxi out. The staff are warm and friendly, and were happy to answer all our questions or just chat. The food (which you should book in advance for dinner on the day you are arriving) is traditional Norwegian homecooked fair and absolutely delicious. Breakfast is a simple spread and there are some options for lunch as well. The rooms were clean and comfortable. We made friends with the goats (there were two babies!), sheep (who were very pettable), horses, chickens, rabbits, and the cutest dog and cat. The most beautiful part of our stay? The Aurora graced us with her presence right above our heads on a beautiful clear night sky. I will never forget the sacred silence of this slice of serenity.

    Our stay was wonderful and it's less than an hour drive from Tromso. An excellent and quiet location to explore the area. We loved everything about our stay....the location, our room, and the amazing home cooked meals. Meals are served for breakfast and dinner when you order in advance. The owners and staff really take pride in their property and it shows! There is also plenty of room to relax in and around the property. We really enjoyed our time here and hope to return.

    The breakfast didn’t offer much options Be careful with your car, the hotel is on a little hill and we wanted to drop off our luggages and got stuck with the car mid-hill with the ice and snow. We were lucky enough that someone with a truck that worked at the farm saved us ! But it should be maybe mentioned beforehand that you can easily get stuck there.

    If you are looking for a calm area near Tromsø : this is the place to go. You must have a car though if you want to explore freely. The rooms are very comfortable with plenty of spaces and offers a great view. We stayed there to get a bit away from the city and get more chances of seeing the northern lights, and on our last night we were able to see a magical show only 1h drive from the hotel, and what a surprise to also get the lights when we went back at the hotel even though the weather forecast wasn’t so good !

    Extraordinary place: cosy, stylish, magical

    This is often a positive but just so people are aware, there is not really any other infrastructure nearby - if you're staying here without a car then you'll be eating all your meals here too, which isn't a bad thing (but can get pricy)! You also pay for everything: borrowing snow poles, snow boots, feeding the animals, etc. Again, that is fair enough, but it might have been a nice touch to allow guests to borrow snow shoes for free, as they aren't in high demand and seem quite low maintenance.

    Absolutely stunning place, very secluded and peaceful with tasteful decor and a cosy but modern feel. The dining room and living room with big windows and a view over the sea and mountains are spectacular! They offer a range of great experiences and delicious food, and all the staff are helpful and friendly. The farm animals are very cute and there is even a dog, cat, and rabbit in residence! Absolutely recommend this place as an escape in an other-worldly landscape.

    The huge step icy hill you had to climb up after parking at the bottom of it to get to the top where the resort is. You’d slip and slide down it. To avoid that, you have to climb through snow that goes above your knees. They should really implement an easier walkway/steps that they upkeep for guests.

    We LOVED the lodge area and how homey it was! You take your shoes off at the door and just get comfy cozy in the quaint space where you can see the water across the way. Then there’s an upstairs lounge where you can bring the most AMAZING carrot cake up there and just read or do work or whatever while you overlook the water and mountains. It’s quite majestic and charming. Then on our final night to commemorate the whole trip, the northern lights appeared for us right at the resort! Our stay here was remarkable and magical.

    The breakfast portions were very small, and there were limited options. Though I understand that snowy boots could ruin and mess up the wood floors, it was a little inconvenient to keep removing shoes everytime we entered!

    Great place with good quality products, and fine taste in decor and attention to detail! Very cozy and warm

    Yggdrasil farmhotel was gorgeous, the rooms were clean as was the main dining area and the separate reading space. It was the perfect get away and exactly what we wanted. We went on multiple activities they had to offer such as the ice swimming and the Northern light cabin walk, both which we absolutely loved, the guides were really friendly and the activities were worth the prices. We easily got there from Tromso Airport on the 420 bus, as the stop is right outside the hotel All the staff were so friendly and happy to accommodate any request We had breakfast everyday which was toast, jams, fish, eggs and tea and coffee, lunch and dinner were also great. I told them i was vegetarian beforehand and was happy with the food I was served
