Good place to stay for a weekend

We were two girls staying for a little more than a weekend. The room was cozy and had a good kicthen with just enough supplies to make a good meal, close to nature and a good place to stay if your going by car.

Fantastiska rum, gamla arbetarbostäder från 1800-talet. Kaféet också det lysande, våffelparadis. Och frukosten för en knapp hundring var fantastisk den också. Bodde för konsert i Lokverkstan, tar några minuter att gå längs kanalen. Drömställe!

Personalet var utroligt hjælpsom og søde vi blev lidt skuffet da vi trådte ind i lejligheden vi følte os 50 år tilbage i tiden med kakkelovn og komfur men der manglede ikke noget og vi sov godt i sengene og så var det fantastisk at bo lige ved Gøtakanalen
