👍👍 A beautiful estate, the house itself is interesting to walk in (fee was 100 kr pp). You can walk the grounds for free. The moat surrounding the estate is ideal for a picnic or Fika at the cafe

🫤 While the hotel and rooms are super cozy, as well as delicious food, the staff was quite aggressive. I felt from the beginning that they were not really eager to help and always gave some snappy comments. Felt uncomfortable being there and not treated like a welcomed guest.

🫤 Strange experience. I believe it is in private hands. Saying "believe", because tgeres not much info on what it really is.
