Nordre Ekre (cadastral unit number 189, property unit number 1) is a farm in the lower part of the valley Heidal in Sel municipality, Norway. Some of the buildings on the farm date back from the 18th century. In 2004 the then owners were awarded the Norwegian Heritage sign of quality, Olavsrosa, for outreach activities and sustainable use of Norwegian heritage.[1] Nordre Ekre has been an agritourism farm since 1995, in the early years based mainly on self-catering.
Today the farmland is leased to neighbouring farmers, and the tourist offering has been expanded with a restaurant. The guest rooms have also been upgraded, but with the emphasis on retaining the original style, with exposed log walls and the original soapstone fireplaces. Nordre Ekre farm hotel and restaurant is one of five farms that form the partnership «Gardshotell i Gudbrandsdalen/Farm hotels in Gudbrandsdalen».
Nordre Ekre has been designated as «Travellers' choice» four years in a row (2013–2016) by the travel website TripAdvisor.[2]
