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!

    • When I had a property with a basement there would often be a pool of water in the centre. I was told it was related to the fluctuating height of the water table in the area (se22) and would not become a problem and the only way to get rid of it would be to get the whole place completely tanked. 
    • We've got a Victorian coal hole cellar with a mud floor and after a couple of severe water leaks, I've taken more of an interest in the state of the dampness.  I've been running a dehumidifier for the past couple of weeks following a small water pipe leak and whilst most of the floor is now bone dry, there are damp patches along most of the wall adjoining the next house, a large damp patch in the middle of the floor that will not dry even with the dehumidifier right next to it and a patch of wet mud in a small hollow in the middle of the cellar.  An expert that lent us industrial drying equipment following a flood from a burst mains pipe said there will always be damp, but I'm a bit concerned in case there is a fundamental problem - any ideas from anyone with similar?
    • Best you post when you have an idea of dates  - waste  of everyone’s time
    • Hi there,  Looking for 10-12 jars (to start with) of local honey to fill a small section of a deli space in my work canteen. Please get in touch if you know of any community projects/small scale productions Cheers
