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

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
