We, along with 3 year old, are thinking of a 2 week holiday in June in Sweden or similar taking in some city and countryside. I have in my minds eye a little cabin by a lake with some time either side in Gothenburg or another city.

I found this english site, http://www.sweden-holidays.com/, with listed properties but there are so many areas to choose from I wondered if any wise forumite would have any advice or experience of an amazing Scandi family holiday

any adivce appreciated

Thanks

Oland is fantastic, quaint, beautiful countryside, clean beaches and very family oriented. Went and stayed with family last year with our 3 year old and he loved it. There is a theme park of which I cannot remember the name but its the only one in the area. Its heaven as its one price for the child and parents go free. It has mini trucks to drive around roads with crossings and traffic lights, mini go karts and bikes etc. Its where a lot of swedish families have country homes that live in the city. Goteland is also lovely but further away. We flew into denmark and drove for five hours to reach Oland and the drive was easy and lovely. On the way back we stayed in the tivoli hotel in denmark for two nights which finished the holiday off very nicely. Camping is big in sweden with lots for the children to do, very safe and sites are usually by beautiful beaches. It is expensive in sweden to eat but food is lovely.


Hope that helps.

Hi Susan,


You will have a wonderful time in Sweden, it is a very child friendly place. On the west coast where I am born and bread there are so many wonderful places, you cant really go wrong. The island of Marstrand outside Gothenburg is gorgeous and there are several other islands in the Gothenburg archepelago which are all amazing. If you have questions about certain places or areas please PM and I will be happy to answer.


Another advantage if you are based in the proximity of Gothenburg you would have the option of taking the ferry or coach over Denmark for a day or a few days stay. The ferry (which for kids is an adventure in itself) would take you to Fredrikshavn and from there you could easily get to Skagen or Lokken with amazing beaches. I would really recommend this with small children.


Any questions feel free to PM me

      Are we now under a flight path?

      By Forest Hill Climber · Posted

      In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River. When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.

      Yet another recommendation for Jafar. Such a nice guy, really reliable and fair. He fixed a problem with our boiler and then incredibly kindly made two more visits to replace a different part at no extra cost.

      I didn't have any problems with plane noise until city airport started flying planes to and from about 5-8 minutes apart from 5.30 am or  6 am,  and even with ear plugs and double glazing I am woken at about 6 well before I usually would wake  up. I have lived here since 1986 and it is relatively recently that the planes have been flying far too low over East dulwich. I very much doubt that they are headinbg to Heathrow or from Heathrow. As the crow flies we are much , MUCH closer to City Airport than Heathrow or Gatwick. I even saw one flying so low you could see all the windows, when I was in Peckham Rye Park.
