Pre-marathon stay

Stayed here as I was participating in the 2025 marathon. The room was lovely and the service received was very good. The road was a bit busy outside all through the night but that cannot be helped. Would definitely stay again.

A lovely quirky place to stay above a nice pub. Shared facilities but clean and of good quality. Lovely bedroom, incredibly comfy bed. Although breakfast wasn't part of it, the host left cereal, croissants and milk and yoghurt in the fridge. There was facilities to make coffee and tea too. Would happily stay again.

Room was uniquely decorated and service was friendly. Shared bathrooms were clean, the carpets were more doubtful. Mattress could use an upgrade. WiFi did not work during the length of our stay. Entrance a bit depressing.

Charmigt B&B

Charmigt inrett B&B, som på engelska landsbygden, med pub i gatuplanet och rummen en trappa upp. Perfekt läge om man ska se ABBA Voyage, bara ett par pendeltågsstationer bort.

Ved første syn var vi muligvis overvældet af skuffelse, morgenmaden var ikke som håbet, der var fælles bad (troede selv jeg havde booket med eget bad) og området virkede utrygt. Vi gik ned i baren og mødte nogle helt igennem skønne mennesker og personale. Stedet er hjertevarmt, rummer masser af liv og er helt igennem skønt! Jeg kunne sagtens bo her igen, simpelthen fordi stemningen er uvurderlig!
