A very nice B&B with clean and updated rooms with a personal touch in design. A shared pentry area available for the guests as well. The owners who’ve been running the B&B since 2006 are very nice and makes sure all guests are having everything...

Zeer netjes en goed verzorgd, ontbijt en avondeten geweldig. Werden echt in de watten gelegd door de eigenaren. 1 klein minpuntje jammer dat de accommodatie niet aan het meer ligt. Maar verder echt top.

Company info

We, Brenda Oudendijk and Michel Muys moved to Sweden with our two children Esther and Rik in 2006. For two years we spent all our time renovating the stately old school by the beach at Lake Glafsfjord.Today they offer 33 beds in ten tastefully decorated guest rooms, all with private shower and toilet. The former sports hall has been transformed into a restaurantand lounge.– We love travelling ourselves and have been inspired by the guesthouses we have visited.

Property info

Guesthouse Eleven offers a friendly atmosphere with a good chance of meeting travellers from all over the world. A family friendly place which invite interaction between guests, where it is easy to relax, have a beer or eat together. After a beautiful walk in the surrounding countryside it feels good to relax in the cosy lounge on Guesthouse Elevens large outdoor terrace. Despite the extensive renovations and rebuilding, the original charm of the building remains. The wooden facade painted red with typical white knots - this is what small schools in the swedish countryside looked like. As our guests you can experience nature, be active and head out on adventures. But you can also stay in comfort, eatwell and enjoy good service. Luxury in the middle of nature, you could say!

Arvika is a great starting point for out-ings, outdoor activities, cultural experiences and city visits.
