Värmvik Gårdskontor

Wow!!! I hadn't really understood what I had booked, and I was quite blown away at how gorgeous it was... it was our last night of a 19-day Scandinavian trip, and we spent it at this stunning estate... everything was just perfect!

I was just perfect

Beautiful idyllic location. Friendly and caring hosts. A great place to come to rest and enjoy nature.

it was in a beautiful location. It was clean.

It was located offside.

The property is literally located in the middle of nowhere, so it is the perfect spot if you want to stay away from town and cars. The room was quite spacious and had a nice bathroom and small living room attached to it.

Although this is an OK place for just one night (we only needed a place close to Västervik to be able to catch an early ferry to Gotland), there are a few points for which I won't consider it again. Hygiene: once in the room you find out that they expect you to vacuum and mop the floor upon leaving, and clearly they don't bother doing it in case the previous guests didn't, judging by the spots on the floor. Moreover, the shower was filthy, so we wondered whether they clean the bathroom at least. With a pandemic still ongoing, this is a huge red flag. Location: if you don't have a car, forget about reaching the place, it is in a remote countryside location, and the closest grocery shop is at least 20 min drive away. Amenities: the beach described in the listing cannot really be used, as it is a field full of bird feces, quite impossible to lay a towel there. Moreover, although there is a pier nearby from which one could at least swim, it cannot be used by the guests. Property: the structure is quite old and the walls very thin, and if you are unlucky like us and end up having a very noisy family in the room upstairs, you can forget about sleeping well.
