Christmas atmosphere in historical surroundings
The pre-Christmas season at Bårdshaug Herregård offers a variety of experiences for both young and old. Every year from mid-November, the hotel is filled with a warm and cozy Christmas atmosphere, nostalgic scents of traditional holiday dishes and homemade baked goods, and friendly conversations among relaxed guests. We also offer special accommodation rates in connection with bookings at Restaurant Ministeren, events in the Grand Hall, or gatherings at the Herregård during the weekends leading up to Christmas.
