Is there any point to a camper<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we have written previously<\/a> After a few weeks of motorhome travel, it can be nice to check into a cosy hotel for a night or two. We truly love the flexibility and freedom of a motorhome, but sometimes it's also nice to have a spacious shower, a wide bed and refreshing air conditioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what about the reverse, that is, going to a spa but staying in a motorhome? There is certainly no shortage of options as many spas, restaurants, conference centres and similar establishments nowadays offer all sorts of packages for this, as they probably see motorhome owners as a good target group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have tried a few different variants and I would say that our experience is very dependent on what type of experience it is. If we take restaurants in the middle of nowhere, for example, it is an excellent solution as otherwise someone cannot drink wine, which detracts somewhat from the experience. An example of this is when we were at \"The Restaurant That Doesn't Exist\", when they let us park in their car park. Read more about our visit here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another variation is vineyards and food producers offering pitches to attract people to their production. Here, it is often free to stay, and the only reciprocation is that you try their goods, which isn't exactly a sacrifice... \ud83d\ude42 This isn't very common in Sweden yet, but in many other countries, they have organised networks such as. France Passion<\/a> and Country enjoyment<\/a>. There is also a similar network in the Nordic countries, Nortrip, but we've only just started evaluating that, so we'll get back to you with an opinion. Of those we've tried, our best experience was probably in Alsace, where Mr. Schoepfer gave us a unique experience. Read more about it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last category is what we thought we'd write about here, i.e. ordinary hotels offering pitches in some form of package with their other services. When it comes to Lundsbrunn Resort and Spa specifically, they have two different packages; Classic with electricity and a three-course dinner, or Luxury which also includes spa access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The pitches have no facilities other than electricity, but there is a toilet in the lobby that can be used during the hotel's opening hours. In other words, it's more of a car park than a motorhome pitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the hotel, it's a fairly traditional 80s-style conference hotel. That said, it doesn't feel run-down; it's more a matter of style than standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's a really nice area around the facility where you can walk among the beautiful old buildings. In addition to the old spring that was once a popular destination for \u201dtaking the waters\u201d, there are also several other interesting buildings, such as the spa, which is now a gym.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the other end of the estate lies Piperska, where the somewhat eccentric count ran a sanatorium for the less fortunate. Even today, one can apply for assistance for a stay in their retreat. It is said that the count's initiative stemmed from the fact that his beloved wife passed away suddenly, and in his grief, his life took on a more philanthropic turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The town itself is cosy with many lovely old houses. In the middle of the town there is also a heritage railway that goes to and from Skara. However, there are no fixed timetables and if you fancy a trip, the best thing to do is to check their website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another pleasant place is Rydenska huset, where there is now a studio. On certain evenings, they also have performances, and during these times, the caf\u00e9 opens, offering coffee and light meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right on the edge of the village lies a tiny nature reserve, Mariedals\u00e5n. We stumbled upon it by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The area was almost unrealistically green and at times it felt like we had arrived in some kind of prehistoric landscape. We joked that around the next bend we would surely see a dinosaur, but they apparently stayed away as we didn't see a single one on the entire trip... \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After a walk, some relaxing spa time can be lovely. The reception in the spa area had recently been renovated and looked like the sort of place these things usually do. After careful consideration, we opted for their signature treatment, which is a form of hydrotherapy in old cast-iron tubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The spa is on the smaller side but at the same time bright and fresh. Although the reception area has been given a slightly more modern style, the spa itself has retained its historical feel, especially in the part where the washing ritual is performed. As you can see in the pictures below, they have kept the beautiful old structure where each visitor has their own tap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, what was it like with the mud bath? It was a very pleasant and relaxing experience. A bit of a shame one can't do it with their partner, but otherwise very good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We probably had fairly low expectations of the food as we'd never heard anyone mention their restaurant. However, it turned out to be very tasty, nicely presented and with friendly service. The only thing we could possibly complain about is probably the number of dishes to choose from and their wine list. Both could have been significantly more extensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So, what's our conclusion? Yes, in this specific case, we'd probably have to say we'd rather have stayed at the hotel than their pitch. This is probably mainly because they didn't have a service building or a separate area for motorhomes. However, don't be put off by this, as there are many other hotels that have put in significantly more effort to create a good experience for motorhome users. An excellent example is Arilds Ving\u00e5rd, which you can read about here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides that, we thought everything was excellent. Nice spa, good restaurant and a cosy surrounding area, but next time we'll take the car and book a cosy hotel room. We might have given the experience an undeservedly low rating as we were mainly there to test their motorhome package, but next time will surely give at least one point higher rating.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
