Lagaholms Castle Ruin

Despite a very rainy stay (which has nothing to do with what the Hostel can influence ;-), we really enjoyed the stay (family with teenagers)! A clean, warm and nice room to stay with clean bed linen and towels, shower and toilet in the room and easy access (indoors) to the guest kitchen (which is actually two huge cooking spaces, very clean, tidy and equipped) with space in the fridge for each guest. Pool and ping pong table available (no cost!) and a great sauna! A lake nearby, which we did not swim in as the rain was pouring down! Grocery store (large choice of products) 7 min away from the hostel by car which is open relatively late (to check depending on when your stay is). Breakfast buffet was rich, tasty with several local products (incl. gluten free options). Very nice breakfast garden (as the sun arrived day 2!). Good "anonymous" hints from the staff ;-) on where to find Swedish "chanterelles" (mushrooms) in the surroundings and we sure did find many (but did not pick them as we would not have been able to cook them as they deserve...leave them for others if you do not intend to cook/eat!). We also found lots of blueberry's in the surrounding forests. Very eco-friendly hostel and really nice staff. As a bonus, there is an adventure park (not the same owner as the hostel), 10 min by car from the hostel with great activities in the old slalom skiing station (closed in 2022). We really enjoyed the Mountain-biking in old skiing slopes, even if the rain was pouring down!
