Very good stay at Sjotorp

The room is a bit small and lacks some basics such as wardrobe and kitchen utensils to cook (this you will get from the owner). However, the owners outweights this with an amazing breakfast and service. The veranda is also a big plus! I would happily go back

A perfect stay

Vi blev väl mottagna vid incheckningen. Rummet är ganska litet men väldisponerat och rent. Allt finns som man behöver. Dessutom en jättefin uteplats som hör till rummet. Bilen parkeras alldeles utanför rummet. Frukosten hämtas i butiken och sätts samman enligt önskemål. Fräscht och gott.

Trevligt stopp i Sjötorp.

Vi fick ett fint mottagande vid ankomsten då vi hämtade nyckeln i butiken i samma hus. Vi valde frukost kl 0800 som vi hämtade på en bricka i butiken. Rummet hade spis,vattenkokare ,micro,porslin ,bestick,ett bord o två stolar. Sängarna var mycket mjuka till min frus förtjusning. Oviktigt för oss men:: Tv fanns inte. Rummet var aningen trångt

Helt ok boende för en natt.

Vi stannade en natt.Trevligt bemötande och god brickfrukost som man fick hämta själva i receptionen/ affären. Sköna sängar som man fick bädda i och ur själv. Duschen var fin men helt fel fall så vattnet rann ut över toagolvet. Tvål endast vid handfatet. Väldigt varmt på rummet och tyvärr en fläkt som inte fungerade. Med tanke på standard/ service så var rumspriset ganska högt.
