Pelikan is a traditional Swedish ale-house and restaurant serving home-cooked Swedish specialities. A lot of atmosphere in this historic bar - made even nicer since the smoking ban which came into force last year.(www.pelikan.se/)

You pay around £50 for a night's stay, which includes lifts to and from the Utter Inn in Mikael's boat, a take-away dinner and picnic breakfast. We spent a great evening watching the sunset and drinking wine, entertained by a variety of passing boats, kayaks and seabirds.

In the bedroom, windows look out into the murky waters of the lake, so you can watch what perch and pike are getting up to beneath the surface. There's an inflatable kayak onboard the platform, so if you go stir crazy you can always try to paddle your way back to civilization. Mind you, when I tried, it seemed to have sprung a leak - I had barely gone 20 metres before I started sinking...]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1611
