We would like to go to Sweden this summer for our hols. Can anyone recommend a self catering cottage to rent, or a holiday company contact? We would like to be either near Stockholm or Gothenburg, preferably near water. We have found a few contacts online, but would prefer a recommendation if poss! Many thanks!

Hi MrsP,


I am Swedish and happy to help, send me a PM with some info and I will gladly give you some tips depending on what sort of holiday you have in mind and what your priorities are. I am from Gothenburg so slightly biased but will try and be fair :).

I don't have any specific contacts or recommendations but both the Stockholm Archipelago and west coast is stunning. I'm from Stockholm so happy to offer hints and tips on that area if you pm me

with more details. Stockholmtown.com is a good place to start. If your kids aren't too young you coul perhaps go islan hopping in the archipelago? There are lots of nice hostels dotted around.

Another vote for Gothenburg, my partner lived there for a couple of years and when we met I visited him there alternate weekends.


The city is great and the islands are beautiful, lots of lovely cottages. Hiring a Stuge is very traditional and good fun, although we only ever went for one with full facilities!


I only visited Stockholm once, preferred Gothenburg but Stockholm was nice too.


If you decide to go to Gothenburg I can ask my partner for recommendations, also we still have swedish friends there.


Great choice of destination, not sure when your planning to go but Midsommer is a huge celebration :)

Went last year for a wedding. Nice, but very, very, very expensive! Can recommend an accommodation company called "cocoon". We stayed in a family flat in central stockholm, v convenient and got everywhere on foot and boat.


It's impossible to buy booze, they sell it through state shops of which there aren't many and they close at 6pm. Oh, and lots of flats said there was a washing machine but turned out there was a shared one in thr basement for the whole building, and you had to book timeslots, I nearly had nervous breakdown about being parted from my laundry-woman life!

    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.
