Are you looking for a relaxing getaway?
Have you considered Sweden?
Come and let’s explore Skane’s stunning nature!
Last Summer, I attended a conference in Sweden’s Capital City. And after a week exploring in Stockholm City. I had a chance to explore the Province of Skane, the Southern most county of Sweden. I stayed in the locality of Degeberga situated in Municipality of Kristianstand.
Accommodation:
I stayed in a Farm hotel, a converted barns providing an exceptional luxury living condition. The Farm Hotel Cocoonmeetings provides 2 converted barns with versatile double storey accommodation, with kitchen, lounge and jacuzzi. The reception area is in the main building, together with restaurant & al fresco cafe and adjacent locally produce souvenir shop. And an isolated building by field called “The Cocoon”, where they cater for conferences and meetings. The hotel caters for solo traveller, family and group guest, open all year round. With different outdoor activities nearby, it’s the best place to stay and enjoy and get close to the nature. And an eco friendly hotel generating their own electricity.
On arrival, I was welcomed by Bodil, she’s the owner and manager of Farm Hotel Cocoonmeetings. It was very casual check-in, she game me my room key and showed me around. After I had my key I was eager to find my room. It was in the second floor, climbing up the stairs you will first noticed the exposed timberwork and beams. And to my surprise I got my own balcony, allowing an abundance light to the room. With bonus stunning view of a vast expanse of the greenfield. And private stairs to the jacuzzi. There’s a cute red chair on the corner screaming at me to sit and laze around. But the double comfy bed is calling me, actually I had an afternoon nap!
On that evening they have pizza night. So I joined the other guest for dinner al fresco style. Watching the chef cooking the freshly made pizza on a wooden fired oven, was so amazing! Eating a freshly baked, thin crust pizza. I felt like I was transported to Pizza-La-land! Oh they also have pizza based dessert it was out of this world, so to speak.
If your looking for a great place to stay close to the nature and offers a great outdoor activities, I highly recommend The Farm Hotels Cocoonmeetings. I enjoyed my experience in this hotel, it is a great and unique place to stay and explore the nature nearby.
Insider’s Tip:
Enjoy the Great Outdoor Activities nearby:
The following morning, after a hearty breakfast we went for a hike around the nature reserve. The Forsakar Nature Reserve, the 2.5 hectares, consist of creeks, waterfalls and dominated by beech forest. It’s has a great walking path with signs well posted. The views were breathaking and there’s a picnic area, good place for “fika time”. Walking into the deep of the woods with the creek sounds on the background. And towards the end of the hike you will be welcome with the stunning Forsakar Waterfalls, a great place to relax before heading back.
If you like cycling, there’s a nearby cycling path. Its only 15 minutes drive to cycling trail starting point. “The Southeast Trail from Ahus to Rigeleje”. It is a 20 kilometres trail, offering stunning views from forest, lakes,coastal and greenfield.

Skåne is famous for having some great relaxing stays. I still haven’t been there, but lots of Danes are going there for a weekend to relax. I saw they of course served “sill” for breakfast – you gotta love Sweden and their weird eating habits 😀

You definitely needto check out this place when you get to Sweden
What a lovely place. Looks like a perfect escape in winter, too. Must be amazing with loads of white glowing snow. Thanks for the great tips!
It must be pretty in a blanket of snow- during this time of the year
You would never know it was once a barn based on those pics! The meals, the fresh air, and outdoor activities all seem like the perfect complements to a countryside retreat.
It was indeed a prefect countryside retreat. The ruggef nature in your footstep to explore is just magnificent.
I’d love to wander there, all day, and then, at night, going to the jacuzzi!! It does look perfect for relaxing! 🙂
That’s what we did we cycle 20 kilometres the acheing muscles was a bliss after soaking in the jacuzzi.
Totally my kinda place. I’m always interested in staying in places that are in congruence with nature. So if I’m going to Sweden I’ll definitely explore this place!
Yes Sweden is abundant of beautiful nature. You will love it there.
What I need now the most is this reconnecting with the nature and this looks like the perfect sweet place for that . I’ve been to Sweden but not to this sides, i’ll not be missing it next time for sure. Thank you 🙂
I love that the hotel is isolated, in the middle of the nature, and that you can enjoy a quiet and relaxing time there without the city noises. I bet it’s wonderful waking up hearing the birds singing. The room looks very large and the breakfast selection very vast. Great hotel!
Beautiful and looks so homey. Bookmarked for my future trip! Btw, any recommended activity to do when staying there?
Thanks for dropping by. Do check out the insider’s tip.
Fantastic views from this farm hotel, especially that bit of the outdoor jacuzzi. I loved all of them. The rooms and the food, too seem perfect. In fact the food looks quite fresh and nice. Glad you had a good time here.
Yes the best part was the jacuzzi so relaxing and that pizza dough was freshly prepared it was so yummy.
Sounds like fun! I have tried glamping in Poland once too. Staying close to nature is the best way to relax, not 5 stars hotels 😍
There’s something so special staying near the nature…. the time tends to be slow and feels so relaxing
