Fronting a small beach, this guesthouse is a charmer, with 20 individually decorated rooms, some with sea views. Sewing machines, typewriters and other antique items enhance the retro atmosphere, as do the animal hides and other recycled items. Excellent restaurant and sauna also on-site. It's just up the road from the Post och Tullhuset.
