Stayed in one of the brown cottages. Small but has everything you need and convenient location for the golden circle / onward trip to Vic. Pool tables in reception along with a free coffee machine.

Our one night stay in Vantsholt was very nice and calm. Staff was very friendly. Common room was great for just sit, relax and enjoy coffee or tea which were free. Rooms were clean with very nice view to the nature.
1-night trip

10/10

This was a perfectly acceptable place for the night. It is all new, very clean, and comfortable. The rooms are a one room studio style arrangement with a little desk to one side and an enclosed bathroom. It is all completely functional, however, the space is tight. There is a small common room right at the entrance to the building, which can seat about 5 people.

We stayed in a family room with a double bed and two twin beds which worked great for our family of four. The property has a nice playground which my kids really enjoyed. They also have a social room with pool table, football table, couches and tv/dvd collection. The staff were very helpful and they have coffee, tea and hot chocolate readily available for guests.
