Accommodation is included in our courses and is provided in two spacious houses in Baståsen, in the village of Gränsfors, just 800 meters’ walk from the factory. The houses, called Götes and Gränsfors Öfre, offer single rooms or shared double rooms. For accompanying family members or for longer stays, we recommend the nearby Sagaliden.

THE HOUSES

GÖTES

Götes is an older, red, larger house in two storeys, located approximately 800 metres upstream from the axe factory. The house has a traditional character and offers generous shared spaces.

Götes offers accommodation with four bedrooms: one larger double room with an associated anteroom/common space, and three spacious single rooms, all located on the ground floor.

The lower level also includes common areas such as a bathroom, a hall, and a spacious kitchen equipped with a large kitchen table and a kitchen sofa, suitable for shared meals and socialising.

GRÄNSFORS ÖFRE

Gränsfors Öfre is a slightly more modern house located next to Götes, characterised by yellow windows and doors.

Downstairs, Gränsfors Öfre has two furnished single rooms as well as common areas including a kitchen, living room, bathroom, and a separate toilet.

Upstairs, there is a spacious common room, a large double room, and an additional room that can be arranged as either a single or a double room.
