Bäckaskog Slott

"Spectacular historic building in lovely grounds set between two lakes. The rooms within the slott (castle in Swedish) itself are full of period furniture and very atmospheric - this includes the bar, restaurant and state rooms where you can relax with a drink if you are a guest - it was a first to be able to relax in furniture used by a former king of Sweden, rather than it being roped off as furniture usually is in stately homes. The staff were delightful - charming, helpful and not at all stuffy, and the food in the restaurant was absolutely first rate. Our room was in the Mill, one of the outbuildings a couple of minutes of walk from the slott. The room was fine, modern and well furnished, but nothing out of the ordinary. Some great walks close by on Ivo island."

"Nothing we didn't like, but the room was not in the same league as the slott itself."

"How could one not love sleeping in a CASTLE!? Beautiful castle, furnishings, and grounds. The staff at the front desk was warm, welcoming, and attentive. Breakfast in the stables was charming and tasty."

"As much as we loved the accommodations, we found the restaurant to be an incongruous experience. We made dinner reservations in advance and were told by the front desk of the hotel that we didn't need to dress up. Maybe we weren't dressed appropriately (shirts and jeans), because when we arrived we had to chase the staff down for a seat and show them our names on the list. Once seated, we were left for quite a while and then the server openly embarrassed our party for confusing water glasses with wine glasses. Bread was served but no bread plates. We poured our own wine and lowered the curtains for ourselves and the other guests when the evening light became too strong. The food itself was unremarkable, perhaps leaning too heavily on location and captive patrons. We hope this feedback is useful."

"We had a stay for 3 nights. Since there is no other restaurant in the neigborhood we ate 3 times there. However, the basic menu is quite limited. Luckily the cook was able to prepare us 3 distinct vegetarian meals during our stay."

"The quality of the coffee might need some improvement."

"The place is stunning, great atmosphere, wonderful garden, room spacious, nice and comfortable, food delicious on the first evening and the dinner setting in the greenhouse brilliant."

"We reserved a table for dinner again on our third night but unfortunately it did not live to the expectation. Firstly we were told we had to eat outside and not in the greenhouse because we were accompanied by our two small dogs, although this was not an issue two nights before! There were tables free in the greenhouse and we had a reservation but tables were given to guests without a reservation because they did not have a dog with them. It was cold and windy outside, and because other guests complained and were moved inside -and luckily for us they also had a dog!-we were moved inside too. I am afraid this is highly unprofessional and in our case really defy the purpose of a reservation, if we could not be accommodated where we wanted to, we should have been told at the time we reserved. Also, it makes a mockery of this being a dog friendly establishment. I understand dogs may not be allowed inside a restaurant, although also this is meanwhile no longer the case in many establishments including Michelin starred ones, but that they cannot be in a greenhouse is ludicrous also bearing in mind they were allowed there two days before. The food was good, although my carpaccio was frozen, however it was swiftly replaced. All in all a disappointing evening, which could have easily been avoided, such a shame."

"Great staff and made to feel really welcomed when we arrived. Dinner in the restaurant was great, food was beautiful."

"Aucun."

"A beautiful and meticulously renovated small castle set in a lovely carefully maintained park with access to two lakes. The staff are super charming, welcoming and accommodating. Very nice restaurant with excellent food selections and a good wine list. Rooms are spacious and clean with a nice bathroom and comfortable beds. Breakfast buffet was great, lots to chose from."

"Nothing comes to mind"

"Jätte fint rum, rymligt, välstädat. Bra dusch med duschtvål/schampoo, balsam och handtvål. Generöst med handdukar. Väldigt trevlig personal i receptionen och frukostrestaurangen. God frukost buffe. Kul och välkomnande med namnat bord."

"Kanske liiite för hård sängmadrass. Man kände spiralerna i sängbottnen."

"Julbordet var mycket gott och rummet var tyst och lugnt."

"Sängarna var oerhört osköna, alldeles för mjuka och temperaturen i rummet var hög. Vi stängde av och öppnade fönster men det var ändå väldigt varmt."

"Frukosten var jättebra. Trevlig och serviceinriktad personal, särskilt han som stod i baren på kvällen. Även testsmaka lite före val av drink."

"Hade gärna önskat att frukosten hade varit åtminstone 1 timme längre eftersom utcheckningen var vid 11."

"Slottets beliggenhed i de naturskønne omgivelser- sluttede den ene dag af med solnedgang over søen ved Carl d. V’s hus og startede den næste med suveræn udsigt fra Kjugekul. Super service. Hjælpsomme og venlige. Lækker morgenmad- stor buffet med flot udvalg."

"Aucun."
