Stayed in a glamping tent which was very cosy and had a comfortable bed. Great three course dinner and generous breakfast basket, no problem to cater to our request for vegan food as long as we let them know in advance. Nice little island with many different outdoor activities. Things to note: no running water near the tents, electricity only available via USB outlet. I highly recommend to BYO drinks & snacks to be enjoyed at the tent. If you are sensitive to light when sleeping, bring an eye mask as it gets light very early.

Stayed one night with spa pass included. The room was very clean and fresh, comfortable bed! Dinner buffet was outstanding! The spa is worth a try! There's plenty of things to do in Marholmen, I think it'd be worth it to book at least two nights in! It's easy to reach by car.

The place feels calm and family friendly with a lot of space to roam and a lot of activities, mini golf, beach volley, rowing boats, tennis courts, hot tub and sauna, places to run and walk and a football field.

I only stayed one night at this hotel, we arrived late and left early morning - such a shame! I wish I could stay longer as the area was very beautiful.
The room was great and I felt great in the hotel. For breakfast they let me come in early and eat some food since I had to catch the ferry.
