Good place to stay for a weekend

We were two girls staying for a little more than a weekend. The room was cozy and had a good kicthen with just enough supplies to make a good meal, close to nature and a good place to stay if your going by car.

Trevligt med fantastiskt lÀge!

VÀldigt mysigt och vÀlhÄllet, och toppen med ett eget litet kök i lÀgenheten! Helt ok sÀngar och en otippad bonus med tv pÄ rummet (det ösregnade..). Vi bodde dÀr i slutet av augusti vilket tydligt innebar lÄgsÀsong: caféet hade stÀngt under den tid vi var dÀr och incheckningen skedde pÄ distans, men funkade bra ÀndÄ. Fantastiskt fint lÀge bredvid Göta Kanal och historisk fabriksmiljö, en lagom promenad till spÀnnande sluss.
