ABOUT ENGØ GÅRD
What is presently Engø Gård, started off as Pihls Pensjonat –
one of Tjømes many summer boarding houses.
It was the romantic Frithjof Pihl and his sister, Daisy who started the boarding house
at Engø in 1924.
British Dorothy Grace Babington – nicknamed ”Babs”, after a stay at Engø, fell in love with both Frithjof and the place. She quickly passed on her British charm and elegance to the boarding house.
This same atmosphere still prevails and is referred to by many as that indescribable "Engø Feeling".
Engø gård became part of De Historiske Hotel & Spisesteder in the summer of 2009.
This is a prestigious members only organisation comprising many of Norway's most charming, traditional or historical restaurants and hotels.
