For an authentic rural Swedish getaway drive one hour east of Gothenburg and stay at this charming forest cottage with views over the local lake. Use this as a base to explore the very pleasant local area including the local town of Ulricehamn on the shores of Asunden lake. The cottage is well equipped with facilities but can still be the perfect getaway. We particularly enjoyed looking for chantarelle mushrooms in the surrounding forest.

It's some sort of cafe and a meeting place for businessmen and entrepeneurs, but I think anyone is welcomed. I just wanted to check my mail and drink a cup of coffee with an icecream.

The atmosphere is an experience and the staff are helpful with questions.

Gothenburg is on the west coast of Sweden. Don't be put off by tales of how expensive it is in Scandanavia. I found Gothenburg to be reasonably priced, with loads to do inside and outside. It is a very clean, civilised and vibrant city. It would be good for families as there is the Lisberg Amusement Park and the Universeum hands on science museum.

One of the nicest places I have ever been. Fantastic laid-back atmosphere with great parks to relax in and pretty districts to stroll around. Universeum, a natural history museum of a kind, is great for kids and kids-at-heart and there are plenty of other attractions for those who feel they need to see things. But the real pleasure of the place is in simply soaking up the atmosphere.
