    Very convenient, we first rented bicycles from the hostel and left our car there for four days. There is also a very cosy cafe on the first floor. Lovely staff and great location for those willing to explore Götakanal.

    Superhärligt område där barn kan springa o leka och sträcka på benen samtidigt som de vuxna kan sitta o njuta av omgivningarna. Nära till det mesta. Jättebra frukost och fika och mycket trevlig personal!

    Underbar frukost i trädgården under ett äppleträd blev det. Badplats med badbrygga, bastu och badtunna om man önskar. Vi övernattade i en tvårums lägenhet i en härlig gammaldags stil med kakelspis och kakelugn. Verkligen rekommenderas!!!
