Perfect accomodation for a multi family holiday
We have spent our 2 weeks holiday here with 3 families. Our group consisted of 5 adults and 6 older children between the ages of 13 and 18 years.
On arrival we were taken care of by Hans and Lena, the owners. Really very nice and helpful people. Hans has given many tips about all kinds of things in the area.
The houses are in a very quiet area. From the outside the 3 houses are still in the old authentic style, but inside, especially the bathrooms and the kitchen, are very nicely modernized. In the smallest house (the mountain house) there is no water, so also no toilet or kitchen. The kitchen in the middle house (the shop house) was closed at the time of our stay due to renovation work, but we had been informed about that in advance. The fridge with freezer was placed in the hall so that it could be used anyway.
The showers in the store house and the main house are both equipped with thermostatic taps and beautiful glass shower enclosures. There is a washing machine in the bathroom of the main house. The kitchen of the main house includes a.o. an authentic wood burning stove, but also an induction cooker, a large refrigerator, a microwave and an electric oven. In the main house there is also a dining room with a very large table, where we could eat with 11 people. Crockery and the like was also sufficiently available.
In the main house there is a large plasma TV with AppleTV, and in all 3 houses WIFI with a good fast internet connection was present, even for use by 11 people at the same time.
Outside there are no less than 3 terraces with garden furniture and 2 barbecues available.
The area around Gryt is a beautiful archipelago area with many islands and harbors. We also visited several beautiful cities and places in the area, such as Västervik, Söderköping (famous icecreams at Smulstron Stallet) and Norrköping (beautiful waterfalls in the city), and we also made a long walk in Norre Kvill National Park. Small disadvantage is perhaps that from Gryt you always have to go back to the main road (the E22), and that is every time the same drive for 20 minutes.
This was our fourth holiday in a row in Sweden, each time in a different area. This time we have seen a completely different part of Sweden, with its archipelago east coast. A very nice area, with a nice mix of nature and cities. In this way, there is plenty to see and experience for the whole family, both youngsters and the old. We all have certainly enjoyed our stay.
