What a lovely hotel! Our overwhelming impression was one of homely luxury. The hotel is very relaxed and provided a perfect contrast to some of the more corporate hotels that we stayed in on the rest of our mini tour of Scandinavia. The room was lovely and comfortable. The restaurant was relaxed with a good selection of lovely food and very good suggested wine matches- not fine dining , just very nice and reasonably priced and perfect for this kind of hotel. We sat on the terrace and enjoyed drinks in the afternoon or before dinner. I had the best martini I have tasted and have manged to re-create this at home! Excellent staff at reception organised kayaking with a local company for us (can recommend). It took us 2 hrs to circumnavigate the island (we're 57 and haven't kayaked for years!). We used the sauna down by the water and had a (very rapid!) dip in the sea. There were bikes available to hire from the hotel by the hour to explore the island. Lots of footpaths provide options to explore. The ferry pulls up right in front of the hotel providing easy access to other islands and to/from Stockholm. The ferry from Stockholm was direct and took 2.5hr. The return required a change (15min wait) and took a total of 4.5hr -but both enjoyable boat trips (snacks available on board) There is also a car ferry to the adjacent island so it's well connected. Overall the most memorable and nicest hotel we stayed in.

Lovely peaceful setting. The staff can be a bit overwhelmed at times with the high volume, but well trained and courteous and kind. Food is very good. Guests should also be prepared for a lot of families with small children running around.
