Description
Welcome to Gripen Gard, a genuine old-fashioned small farm located in the picturesque landscape of Vestland, more specifically in Frekhaug.
This unique place, shaped by sheep over hundreds of years, is located at the end of the road next to the large Storavatnet on the island of Holsnøy. Gripen Gard offers not only accommodation, but also courses and experiences related to wool and sustainable lifestyle.
The facility extends over large green areas, where old buildings and lush pastures create a charming setting for your stay. The farm is self-service with organic and eco-friendly principles and all production is certified organic.
For those looking for an active holiday, Gripen Gard offers opportunities for hiking, rowing and fishing in Storavatnet, just a five-minute walk from the accommodation. We also offer boat rentals, life jackets and fishing equipment.
For those interested in crafts, there are opportunities to learn about the wool's journey from sheep to product, and you can even buy sustainable souvenirs from the farm, everything from yarn to knitwear.
