Dear Kerstin. Just to say thank you for letting us rent your lovely house in a beautiful area of Sweden. The house is very well equipped and we enjoyed using the bicycles and rowing boat. We had a very relaxing time in your beautiful house Björken. Thanks again. Ian Bartelett and family.

For the two days driving up to Ostanvik the weather was great 26 Celsius and the Sunday was great but from the Monday it turned but, we found lots to do and visited quite a few places. Kind Regards, Ted Vick.
