Book Thon Hotels Trysil accommodation from AU$94

Ideal for what we needed ... a snowy ski adventure somewhere different. We had 6 staying, which meant it was spacious. 2 more would probably have been fine still. More than that would probably have felt a bit of a squeeze. Facilities were great. Kitchen is well appointed, but not ideal layout for lots of people. My preference would be to have a microwave and a real coffee maker of some kind, but that's a personal preference rather than criticism of the accommodation. Had some fantastic times playing in the deep surrounding snow when not skiing. I quite liked being away from the main ski area, and the drive was easy if you're comfortable driving in snow on hills. The owners were very helpful when we had questions. I'd happily stay again if I decided to return to the area, but generally like going to new places.

No issues with accommodation but arrived quite late and was unable to find anywhere to eat

While we ultimately enjoyed our stay at a two-bedroom cottage, we were upset that the additional charge for bed linens and towels was not transparent at the time of booking. We travel on a budget and did not expect an extra charge on top of the rate for the night. They charge 140kr per person for bed linens and towels. You will get an email about this AFTER you make a reservation. There is also a charge for cleaning, which is quite high, but we found this easy to avoid if you agree to tidy up when you leave (return to the state you found it). Had we known of the full cost up front and made the reservation on that basis, we would have been quite happy with the stay. The cottage was rustic and comfortable, very spacious, with a well equipped kitchen and lovely outdoor area surrounded by nature. Note that check-out is somewhat early - 10:30AM, considering you may have to clean the place before you leave.
