Lily Country Club

Beautiful hotel on the golf course. Really nice hotel with a relaxing atmosphere that makes you wanting to come back after a short stay. Lovely SPA in the basement where one can relax after a round of golf just outside the hotel. You will need that because it’s a tough course 😊 Professional and friendly staff who make sure your stay memorable. Highly recommend.

Very Nice hotel with very good beds, excellent shower and one of the best hotel breakfasts I have had in a long time. The dinner in the brasserie was a small disappointment. Ordered a medium-rare steak and something close to a well done piece of meat. It tasted good and was nice and tender so I chose not to complain there. Also, returning to the room we stopped at the bar to get something to drink for the next morning. The hotel lacks a small shop or kiosk for a soda or a toothbrush. In the bar there was a long queue and two very inefficient bartenders. When we were next in line the second bartender chose to join the other bartender in serving the customer before us, watching him work and chatting, with the queue building up behind us. Very unprofessional and inefficient. And with a rude reaction when I tried to ask for an upoened bottle of coke and water for the room

The food, service, spa facilities (and weather!) were all great. The staff were without exception, wonderful, especially the concierge, Alex, who just went the extra mile to ensure my stay was great. The public areas were lovely with great views and lots of comfortable seating and the outside atrium was sheltered and very animated. The breakfast and dinner were both excellent. I really enjoyed my stay and would certainly recommend this hotel as both a relaxing and yet animated retreat. The bedrooms were a bit in the small side but adequate for our needs.

This was our second stay at Lily Country Club and this is truly a great hotel. We were upgraded and stayed in the Club Suite, a very nice room and we were met with a bottle of sparkling wine and fruit, so we knew we were off to great start. The spa was closed due to covid last time we visited, but now we were able to enjoy some time in the jacuzzi and in the sauna. The spa is a little smaller than for example at Son and Kragerø, but it was still great. All you need, and even a cold pool which I love. Just as last time food, drinks and service were outstanding. This is one of the best hotels I have stayed at, and me and my husband have been many places around the globe. I can not recommend this place enough, it has it all. Nice views, comfortable rooms, amazing food, exceptional service and a spa. What more do you need?

Me and my wife, had booked a 24 hour get-away, so we drowe all the crazy 30 km, from our home to Kløfta, just to spoil ourselves. We started with the 2 course lunch on Saturday, and was blown away, it tasted just great. My wife wasn't to fond of the meat, which included to much strings, so she gave that to mee. But it tasted nice, and the dessert and coffee topped it off. At booking, we had asked for a room away from the atrium, beeing both parents with small kids and norwegians, it is a must to sleep with the window open, and go to bed, a lot earlier than the DJ! We got a room facing the atrium, and dead center over the main entrance.. Not to impressed, but we knew the hotel was full, and it wasn't to much to do about it. Also we got a welcome gift from some friends at the room, that we wanted to dive into. Later that evening, we had the three course dinner, which also tasted great. The hotel has a OK variety of beer on tap, and a large cabinet of wines and not at last, a pretty decent bar, that made me a more than ok Whisky sour, in ther words a happy camper! We went to the bar after dinner, and got some more to drink, just smaltalked and dooing some people-spotting. Closer 9 pm, we was ready for the bed, just watch some tBBT and relax, the streaminfunction on the TV is pure genious. We got a crawing for some late snack, at arround 9 pm, tried to call both room service and the front desk, no one picked up.. I ended up gooing to our car, to find some snack there.. So to the real downside, for some reason the music from the bar found it's way out on the roof underneath us, and meanwhile watching tBBT it was no problem, but when wanting to go to sleep, not so much. Also the ventilation for the room has a glitch somewhere, that smoke gets into the system from outside, so the room smelled smokey out of the blue, even with the door closed. At 12. my wife tried to call the front desk again, nobody picked up, she got mad, and went down to fine someone to talk to. Noone at the front desk, so she had to yell into the office, to get the attention of an employee.. She explained the noise and smoke, and the employee said, that they would try turning of the outside speakers (!) and he had to come up to try to figure out the smoke. He told us that there where no aviable rooms, but that he could give us a famiily-room on the other side of the hotel, I had tucked inn for the night, and was in no mood to change room at that time. I had a pretty good nights sleep, but my significant better one, not so much, the music from the bar, and smoke coming from somewhere, wasn't helping her out. At this price, I would have expected to be placed in a room away from the atrium/main entrance, upon request. In the morning, I was pretty happy, wifey not so much.. The breakfast was verry good, in norwegian standards. It had the most needed, but I must admit I was dissapointed with the french butter, instead of norwegian products. Also the waiters were supposed to serve coffee, but they weren't up to the task keeping me filled up with black gold, so I had to the cofferund myself. In comparrison to the Scandic Nidelvens, legendary breakfast, Lilly isn't there yet, the actually have a bit to go before they are in the same leagu. And for the price of the rooms, they should have been, But this is me beeing picky. At checkount, there was a line, and Lilly Country Club seems to be using the slowest system in the world for this task, even the staff was frustrated of this. So conclution: Pros. Restaurant, lunch and dinner, was the stars, breakfast was not quite there! Cons. Someone needs to pick up the phone when calling, both roomservice and front desk. Music from the bar, into the atrium, makes sleeping with window open for tired parents far less from ideal. Check-out needs to be trimmed.
