Premium Amenities
Every detail has been considered by our dedicated staff (population: 1) to ensure your comfort.
Luxury Linens
Thread count: undisclosed. Softness: confirmed. Recently laundered with what we believe is a premium detergent.
Artisan Towel Swans
Two meticulously crafted towel swans await you on your bed. They are sensitive. Please admire from a respectful distance.
Complimentary Refreshments
A curated selection of beverages and snacks, sourced from the nearest kitchen. Restocked upon request, or upon raiding.
Climate Control
Adjustable to your preference, assuming your preference falls between 'slightly chilly' and 'someone left the window open'.
In-Room Cat Service
Our resident felines provide 24/7 turndown service (knocking things off surfaces), alarm clock functionality (4:37 AM sharp), and premium lap-warming. Allergy-friendly? Absolutely not.
En-Suite Bathroom
Features running water (hot and cold), a mirror for self-reflection (literal and existential), and towels that are not swans.
Unlimited Sibling Access
Your stay includes 24/7 access to your favorite sibling. Availability subject to nap schedules.
Allergy Programme
Kroknes Suites is proudly allergy-unfriendly. Cat hair has been artfully distributed across all surfaces for an authentic farmhouse experience. Antihistamines not provided.
Curated Experiences
Our concierge has arranged an exclusive programme of seasonal activities for your enjoyment.
Bovine Wellness Observation
Daily, sunrise to sunset
Join our resident herd for a meditative morning session. Watch as our free-range wellness ambassadors demonstrate the art of doing absolutely nothing. Scientifically proven to lower cortisol.
Feline Spa Encounter
Available 24/7 (at the cat's discretion)
Our in-house therapy cats offer complimentary cuddle sessions. Appointments not required — they will find you. Scratching may occur (consider it a premium exfoliating treatment). Side effects include: cat hair on all clothing, sudden sneezing fits, and an overwhelming desire to adopt. Antihistamines sold separately. Actually, they're not sold at all.
Fibre Arts & Mindfulness Retreat
Afternoons, or whenever the mood strikes
Our resident fibre artist offers exclusive knitting workshops in a meditative setting. Learn to knit your feelings into a scarf. Each stitch is a tiny act of rebellion against the modern world. Yarn provided. Emotional breakthroughs not guaranteed but statistically likely. Beginners and overthinkers welcome.
Farmhouse Yoga & Existential Stretching
Mornings, 08:00 (or whenever someone wakes up first)
Begin your day with a gentle yoga session on the living room floor. Our instructor combines traditional poses with Norwegian pragmatism. Downward Cat may be interrupted by Actual Cat (they will sit on your mat). The final savasana includes a guided meditation on 'why did I not visit sooner'. Mat optional. Feelings mandatory.
Emotional Baggage Unpacking Session
Late evenings, after wine
A Kroknes Suites signature experience. Gather on the couch with complimentary blankets and explore decades of sibling dynamics in a safe, dimly-lit environment. Topics may include: childhood memories, who was the favorite, and 'remember when you borrowed my jumper in 2014'. Tissues provided. Resolution not included.
Countryside Trail Experience
Self-guided, weather permitting
Explore the grounds on a self-guided nature walk. Routes range from 'just outside the door' to 'slightly further than that'. Sturdy footwear recommended. Views of fjords and mountains included at no extra charge.
Easter Egg Safari
Easter Sunday, after breakfast
A seasonal highlight. Our grounds have been scattered with hand-hidden chocolate treasures. Difficulty level: moderate to suspiciously easy.
Sunset Porch Lounge
Golden hour, daily
Unwind on our exclusive terrace (the porch) with panoramic views of the field. Complimentary blanket service available upon dramatic shivering.
Artisan Kitchen Workshop
Evenings, by invitation
Participate in a hands-on culinary experience. You will be invited to 'help with dinner'. Apron provided. Skills optional. Compliments mandatory.

Breakfast Service
