Gryts Skärgårdspensionat

From the outside, this place looked imposing but inside it was warm and friendly, a beautiful Swedish house with great art work on the walls and a calm, clean and crisp interior. The owners were very welcoming and friendly and for us, happily changed an upstairs room for a downstairs one and let us stay past our leaving time as my husband was unwell. The weather was appalling so we didn't explore the grounds but they still looked beautiful. Beds were cosy, shared bathroom was fine as there are only a few staying, and breakfast was the typical Swedish fare, meats, cheese, eggs, salad and fruit filmjolk, muesli and yogurts and a selection of bread. Quality was really high standard. Coffee so strong to make your hair curl! All very Swedish!

Our room was en suite; many are not I believe. In true Swedish style the room was functional but clean and comfortable. You have to have a discussion with Olaf about the timer switch in the bathroom! Dinner was a set menu (wine and beer available) and breakfast a good variety of cold dishes. An interesting stay in a little backwater far away from the city.
