Fjällbacka Bed & Breakfast

Fjällbacka Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent
"This was a lovely bed & breakfast. The rooms were really clean, the hosts were very kind and helpful. The breakfast was much more than a "continental" breakfast, and the afternoon Fika was a nice touch. When we booked this place quite a while ago, there was an error in the listing, and we thought we were booking a deluxe double room with a private bath - turns out there are NO private baths here, so we were surprised when we arrived. In the end, it was fine, but it's been a VERY long time since we shared a bathroom and shower with strangers, and I definitely would NOT have booked this place had I known. The listing is now fixed but just know that there are 7 rooms (each with at least 2 people in them), with only 3 bathrooms among them all. We didn't love getting dressed in the middle of the night or morning to go to the bathroom, walking through a dining room full of people in the morning...."
