Miss Clara

Midsummer celebrations at our Swede’s house. Midsummer is a good time of year to go if you have Swedish friends, because it’s most likely a bigger deal than Christmas to them. Not so great if you don’t have Swedish friends, as most things are closed for a few days.

Leaather club chairs in the hotel bar.

If I’d had a screw driver (and was a thief) I definitely would have stolen the bedside lights.

Large bay windows with oversized wooden windowsills - designed for lounging, reading, or just watching the world go by.

The hotel’s very good beds. When I posted this picture to Facebook it sparked quite a debate amongst my friends about what the bentwood backrest at the foot of the bed was for. I need some classier friends.

Hotel mini bar.

Swedish good taste. The Swedes give good blanket.

The hotel’s restaurant, which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner and has a nice outdoor area for afternoon drinks.

Swedish attention to detail.

‘Toast Skagen.’ a delicious local snack (aka prawns on toast) in the hotel’s restaurant.

The hotel’s impressive exterior – a former girls school, whose head mistress was called Miss Clara Strömberg. Hence the name.
