Description
Charming little house in Southern Skåne,surrounded by fields and Forrest and 20 meters from a small river. The House has been rented for 20 years and many of our guests are coming back year after year, due to the nice little house and the lovely sorroundings.
On the backside of the house there is a hugh newbuilt terrass and a garden. On the tarass there is a grill and furniture and in the garden you can find a hammock. At the end of he Garden, Helge å (a small river) is running. From the terasse you have a view over the river and the fields on the other side of the river.
The area offers possibilities for fishing and a small rowing boat is included in the price. It is also very nice surroundings for long walks or bicycle excursions.
There are also possibilities to go swimming in the sourrounding lakes and rivers, the closest place for swimming is 1 kilometer from the house.
Åhus, which is 40 kilometers from the house also offers really nice beaches by the sea.
The house has one dining room with a stove, one room with a masonry heater. The stove and the masonry heater can be used, wood is provided for free. The house has two bedrooms (one room with a double bed and one with two bunk beds).
The house is located by a farm, the next (and only) neighbour is about 60 meters from the house. The backside of the house is however private, with the river as the closest neighbour.
We hope that we have gained your intrest and are looking forward to seeing you in Skåne.

Perfect for a quiet vacation
We spent 12 beautiful days in Broby and can definitely recommend a vacation there. We were warmly welcomed by the really nice landlord family, and during our stay, they were always available for questions or nice conversations. The surroundings are wonderfully idyllic and very quiet; we were also lucky with the weather and were able to spend a lot of time outside - on the terrace, with small and larger excursions in the area, or on the boat on the lake (the boys found joy in fishing). The house is practically but cozily furnished, and everything needed for everyday life is there (the bathroom is quite small, but we managed well even as four?). - and there is no washing machine, but one may use the one from the Bjärlestam family).
In the area, there are many beautiful opportunities for walks, excursions, and activities, and plenty of information and suggestions were provided by the landlord.
We thank you for the great time and would come back again! !

Beautiful, cozy holiday home
We had a very nice stay. The house offers everything one could want and we lacked nothing.
Already upon arrival, one feels transported into a Swedish fairy tale, as we were greeted by cows and cats right away.
The nearest town is reachable in a few minutes, offering shopping opportunities and a beautiful playground that we visited almost daily.
For a relaxing vacation with a toddler, we couldn't have chosen a better place.

In the middle of nature
We had three relaxing weeks in the middle of nature. Swimming, boating, hiking, cycling, fishing...everything was great. The children quickly made friends with the cats and cows. The highlight was also the daily table tennis tournament. Göran and Britt are very nice landlords and always approachable. Highly recommended for nature-loving families.
