We, Johan and Wilma Akkerman, have drastically changed our lives. After we worked for a long time in education and banking, we wanted to really do something else. After spending a holiday in Sweden we knew it: Sweden is our country. In January 2007 we bought Salbohed Gården. This 12,5 ha big property with old 5 buildings is situated in a beautiful woodland surrounding in the province Västmanland. This province is made up of different areas with their own typical things that make it Swedish. You can say Västmanland is a small version of Sweden. The surroundings are magical every time of the year. Sweden with his charming small red houses and big farmland, the beautiful nature, lakes and animals. In the winter, from november has every house a light for each window. Its like youre driving trough a christmas card. Its like a fairytale.

Not only the surroundings, but also the building give a special feeling to Salbohed Gården. The “Officers House” is from the year 1818, and it tells its own history. There only two such buildings left in Sweden, and Salbohed is noted in the historical books. In the past it was an officers’ house but now it has become our unique Bed & Breakfast (Hotel). In the morning, when you look out your window, you can see the dears walking. When youre enjoying breakfast in the officers House by the fire, you can see outside the birds playing. Every day when youre walking in the wood, youre surprised so many different kind of birds you see. Its relax and enjoy. This place is a warm place. Johan and Wilma have captured the simple beauty and warm hospitality of Sweden in Salbohed.

Our B & B (Hotel) lays central in Sweden, a good hour’s drive from Stockholm. Our beautiful spacious rooms, apartments and conference rooms await you. We also offer you alot off activitys. In the main building we offer sauna, and WiFi (wireless internet) is available in all buildings. At arrival you’ll be warmly greeted and perhaps the fire is burning for you. You will feel you at home very fast. A delicious breakfast will be served, and lunch and dinner is possible on request.

We, Johan and Wilma Akkerman and our 2 Dutch partridge dogs, are looking forward to meeting you and welcoming you to our Salbohed Gården B & B (Hotel).
To make you to feel at home is our goal.

Open the whole year!
