Byrkjedalstunet Drift As

The Byrkjedalstunet hotel is drenched in history, offers dramatic scenic views, interesting architecture and the opportunity to reside in a reproduction of an 18th century farmstead.

The hotel is housed in a reconstructed cheese factory that still displays many traditional cheese making instruments. Much of the Old Norwegian history has been well preserved and the rooms include four poster beds and beautiful views.

Situated among some of Rogaland’s most spectacular landscapes, including mountains and fjords, the hotel provides the perfect opportunity to explore the great outdoors; such as the beautiful beaches of Jæren.

Randalstølen is a reproduction of a traditional 19th century mountain dairy farm and these log cabins, with their turfed rooves, wooden tables and benches are draped with sheepskins. Food and drink is then served on wooden plates and in wooden mugs.

From old fashioned farmhouse fare to more exotic culinary delights, the restaurant is well known for its variety and wonderfully warm atmosphere. The chefs select their ingredients from local suppliers such as the free range Hereford cattle.

All rooms are housed in reproductions of 18th century farm houses.

Equipped with modern conveniences, the bed linen is made from goose feathers and is allergy tested.

The charming restaurant serves breakfast daily from 7.00 - 10.00 and on Sunday until 11.00. Dinner and lunch are served between 12.00 and 21.00.

All our meals are based on traditional recipes taking advantage of the very best local produce. The beef is selected from local free range Hereford cattle. These animals are reared in the uppermost parts of the valley, and graze freely in the area of Nødland.

All the dishes are made from the very start, and the coffee is still cooked in an old fashioned coffee pot. Our famous meatballs, made using meat from our own cattle and following a local recipe, are so popular they are on the menu every day.

Rogaland’s spectacular natural surroundings include high mountain ranges, small lakes and fjords.

Guests can walk from Byrkjedalstunet to Gloppedalsura, Northern Europe’s largest stone scree. This vast scree slope is of historical interest as it was the scene of a battle between German soldiers and the Norwegian resistance during 1940.

Byrkjedalstunet is also the perfect base for trips to the Lysefjord, Pulpit Rock, Kjerag, Månafossen waterfall and the Jæren beaches.

Månafossen waterfall is a wonderful sight with the waters thundering down a height of 90 metres.
