Super nice staff and delicious food, good and plentiful coffee and lunch packages. Small rooms. Cozy with access to a hot tub. Difficult to have time to cycle Day 1 when you arrive in the afternoon. Good rental bikes, we had electric bikes. Unfortunately too much gravel road for our taste. Brängen around nice ride but 50 % gravel road. We will gladly come back.

4.8

Very nice treatment by all staff. Help to print maps and descriptions. Good bike tours with nice information about places you drove past.

4.7

A wonderful experience with nice bike tours. We cycled 25 km the first day and 53 km day two. We got vegan food as requested which was delicious. The bike package is recommended!

4.7

Very good hotel with a very friendly and accommodating staff. Good rooms, good sauna, nice whirlpool and very good and plentiful food. Sandhemsrundan nice round with alternating up and down. Only minus that about 8 km on stony gravel road. Brängen round positive with about 75% asphalt.

4.8

Very good bike package. Very nice accommodation with super service and fantastic food. Big plus that you had access to the relaxation after a day of cycling. The rental bikes were really good. We experienced that the trails were hillier than what was stated in the descriptions, but with the good rental bikes we got around without problems.

4.7

The food, the staff and the whole experience has been absolutely wonderful. The text on the website is a bit fuzzy and probably needs to be reviewed. Difficult to come after lunch and have time to cycle and eat everything ... better to have cycle start from 10 and access to the room after cycling or after 15. The food bag and the whole package was much better than what it says. The bikes were new and good but the first recommended tour was not a beginner's tour, only gravel road and hilly. Another trail should probably be recommended instead. Maybe Mullsjön around? Skaraborgsleder.se has not updated its maps since 2018, which meant that some info was not correct. Bottnarydsrundan at 53 km says 75% gravel but it was only 25% so it was more easily cycled. Cozy with access to a whirlpool and the opportunity to take a foot bath. We will gladly come back!

Reply from the operator

Thank you for your feedback Catrin!

We have been in contact with those responsible for Skaraborgleder.se and they will review their site. However, 2018 is misleading according to them.

You could have come to us at 10 o'clock, we set no limits but here are all the possibilities for what you want and want out of your trip. But good to think about for next time of course. Now have a nice summer and warmly welcome to us again, says Sofia.
