The last time we went away as a couple was 6th December to Dusseldorf. We went this time to Skane, Sweden. I have travelled many, many times to Sweden and even lived there in my eraly twenties for a few years. I love the country and the language. So I was defintely up for another trip, even just for a short weekend.
We flew to Copenhagen and picked a hire car up and stayed our first nght in Malmo
However the main reason to come was to drive through Skane on the way to Ystad and the coast. We were booked in a sea side hotel: http://www.mossbylund.se/
This hotel was fabulous, and breakfast in the garden in the morning was just heaven.
This hotel is in a wonderful setting. You can take a lovely slow drive from Copenhagen airport/Malmo through the rolling countryside and forests. Skane is NOT flat as i had thought. The coastal roads are also beautiful. We stopped by a Loppis, a sort of second hand stall along the way.
Stopped for FIKA (tea/coffee and cake) and then got to the hotel. I had made a mistake - I had booked a small twIn room, but the staff quickly found alarger room with a double bed and did not charge us extra. The room was large, very well decorated and clean. We ate at the hotel that night. The chef is british, the food was lovely, even for a veggie like myself. The waiting staff were very friendly and helpful.
We could see the sea from our room Ostra. Breakfast was delicious, warm and cold choice. It was a bit early for a sunday, have to get there well before 10. No lie in! But that is because they have a brunch service starting at 11. All in all, very good quality hotel, not sure I would have paid the 2450 SEK for our room, it is a little overpriced I feel.
However they are installing an indoor pool and they also already have a sauna and jacuzzi and will have a spa centre from next year. So it will be even better. I can fully recommend and it is so close to Malmo - and Copenhagen for that matter. Explore a little if you need to stay in either city!

at the Mayfair Hotel Tunneln, which was a beautiful hotel, the room was quite small but fine. Breakfast was for Swedish food lovers, brilliant. Filmjolk, knackerbrod, cheese..mmm yoummy! Fresh juice, newspapers..
