About this property

Romantic Villa in historic setting with a lake-side view

Hjelleskate Herrgård is an idyllic and historic Manor, situated with a beautiful view over the Väner lake. Vänern is the 3rd largest lake in Europe, and has a lot to offer its visitors, such as a large archipelago (10.000 islands), beautiful flora, a rich birdlife, sailing and fishing. This part of Värmland, called "Värmlandsnäs", is well known for its interesting cultural history with many archaeological funds and 5 medieval churches.

The 18th century villa next to the Manor contains three bedrooms with double beds and two smaller single rooms. There are two bathrooms. One bathroom has also a sauna with a shower. The kitchen is well-equipped with a dishwasher and kitchen appliances. A washing room with a tumble dry machine is also available.

Relaxing in a beautiful environment
We stayed in the Flygel, the 18th century wooden wing separate from the historic manor house. It was spacious for our group of eight with plenty of private space behind the house as well, with beautiful views of the bay through a canopy of trees. The house is tastefully furnished and the kitchen is exceedingly well equipped, in a quality that you would expect from your own home. Our hosts, Ingrid and her husband, were very hospitable and helpful in every situation. They arranged for us to visit the historic churches on the peninsula. The house, which is close to a working farm, has its own bay with excellent bathing spots (smooth black stone that warms up nicely) but no sand - we used the rowing boat provided as well as our own kayaks. In short: We had a fantastic stay, a really relaxing get-away from city life - and may come again some day!

Ein schönes kleines Gut auf dem Lande
Wir waren mit 2 Familien bei Ingrid auf dem Gut Hjelleskate. Beide Familien haben zusammen in dem roten Nebengebäude gewohnt, welches auch Flygel Haus genannt wird. Es gibt dort viel gemeinsamen Wohnraum, der sehr gemütlich eingerichtet ist. Die Bibliothek ist hervorragend 3-sprachig ausgestattet und lässt auch die Schrecken von Regentagen vergessen. Die zwei Einzelschlafzimmer sind gut für Kinder geeignet, denn die Türen sind etwas niedriger. Das Gut liegt recht einsam. Es gibt nur 2 weitere Häuschen mit Feriengästen in der näheren Umgebung. Als wir dort waren, war auch das Haupthaus so gut wie unbewohnt, da Ingrid und Ihr Mann selber unterwegs waren. Wir haben die Einsamkeit sehr geschätzt. Auch die Bucht des Vänern, an der Hjelleskate liegt, wird kaum von anderen Seebenutzern frequentiert. Wir haben die mit dem Ruderboot schnell erreichbaren Küstenfelsen zum Sonnen, Picknicken und Baden täglich genossen. Der Zugang zum See selbst (ein Steg für das Ruderboot) liegt im Schilfgürtel und lädt nicht zum Baden ein. Für den kleinen Einkauf ist der Lanthandel in Bodilsäter ausreichend ausgestattet. Ein normaler Einkauf muss allerdings im 30 Minuten entfernten Säffle stattfinden.

Entspannung und Ruhe pur
Wer fernab des Alltagstrubels Ruhe genießen will, ist hier genau richtig. Wir waren 5 Erwachsene und 2 Kinder und haben uns sehr sehr wohl bei Frau van´t Hooft gefühlt. Das Haus ist zwar schön älter, aber dafür hat es einen wunderschöne Charme. Es war alles vorhanden und uns hat es an nichts gefehlt. Die Nähe zum See war ideal, um Ausflüge mit dem Boot zu machen. Bei Fragen war unsere Vermieterin immer eine große Hilfe. Bedenken muss man, dass man doch etwas weiter entfernt von den nächsten Orten ist, um z. B. einzukaufen. Wir haben aber bewußt diese zentrale Gegend gewählt, weil wir auch die Städte Oslo, Göteborg, Stockholm besuchen wollten. Vielen Dank an Frau van´t Hooft für die 2 tollen Wochen.

Herrlich!
Wunderschön und ruhig gelegen. Stilvoll. Sehr nette Vermieter und Verwalter. Toll für Familien mit Kindern. Wassergrundstück; der See ist aber so weit vom Garten entfernt, dass man eine gute Kontrolle haben kann, wo die Kinder sind & spielen. Tolle Sonnenuntergänge über dem Wasser. Gelegentlich Stallgeruch – man wohnt auf dem Land... Der Flygel hat ein volles Badezimmer in der oberen Etage und unten (EG) eine separate Toilette; die 2. Dusche ist im Vorraum der Sauna (auch EG). Unten 1 Doppelschlafzimmer, oben 2 Einzelschlafzimmer und 2 Doppelschlafzimmer. Oben schöne, große, sehr helle Lounge (2. Wohnzimmer) zwischen den einzelnen Schlafzimmern.

Beautiful mansion needing renovation
We had booked the main building for one week. It is a beautiful very large building in a nice setting. However the building is in need of renovation, especially the bathrooms. Unfortunately we encountered quite a number of mice in the kitchen, hallway and one bedroom and decided to leave early due to that. There was another family at the same time in the side building who seemed to be happy with that. If you are contemplating renting, the side building might actually be the better choice.

Magnificent place to stay
We stayed in the Flygel in the summer of 2013 (I was unable to fill in the correct dates as my review comes a bit late) and I can seriously recommend it. The peninsula is a great place to explore: extremely quiet, many nice bays and beaches. We did a lot of cycling here which is absolutely recommendable. The harbour at the tip has a small restaurant which is fine for a quick meal. The Flygel house is big enough for the six we were with and it lies in a wonderful quiet, green area, next to the historic big manor house. Clean, nicely decorated - recommendable.

Einzigartiges Herrenhaus am Vänernsee
Beeindruckendes historisches Gebäude mit wunderschönem Blick über den Vänernsee, den man über einen eigenen Zugang mit hauseigenem Ruderboot befahren und auch darin schwimmen kann. Ideal für 2 Familien oder größere Gruppe. Ein Auto ist allerdings fast unerlässlich, da der nächste Ort und damit Supermarkt, Restaurant, u.ä. fast 30 Minuten (per Auto) entfernt liegt. Das Hauptgebäude ist weitläufig gestaltet, mit vielen stilvollen Räumen, in denen es sich auch bei schlechterem Wetter gut aushalten lässt. Um das Haus herum Natur pur! Wir, 4 Erwachsene, 5 Kinder, haben die Zeit sehr genossen. Sehr nette und entspannte Vermieterin, die das Haus selbst als Sommerhaus nutzt, wodurch z.B. die Küche auch sehr gut ausgestattet ist. Der einzige Nachbar, der auch das Haus und Garten betreut, ist ebenfalls sehr nett und hilfsbereit.

Amazing time at Hjelleskate Manor!
We had a fantastic time at the historic manor! The house is even nicer then described in the ad, the owners very nice and caring. The rooms are big and with a lot of historic charm! Everything is very well kept. Our 3 boys loved the place and on the last day we just saw 4 elks and some deer in front of the house - an amazing experience. We definitely can recommend this place to any traveller!

Beautiful house
A beautiful house with lots of history which is almost sensible, offering great sunset views over the Vaettern lake. This is a great place to relax and live in harmony with nature. We saw a moose crossing the lake swimming. The house is an excellent location to take friends with you as it is large, although it feels cosy. The area is nice and calm. Don't expect a lot of things happening in the neighbourhood. Al in all a great place that we enjoyed a lot.

Ein traumhaftes Haus
Ein wunderschön gelegenes Haus direkt am Vänern. Sehr persönlich und individuell eingerichtet. Perfekt für Leute, die Ruhe und Abgeschiedenheit verbunden mit einem herschaftlichen und fast musealen Charackter wollen. Austattung komplett Geiegnet für 2 Familien, die einen erholsamen Urlaub verbringen wollen.
