Bjertorp Slott

We had a great time at Bjertorp, great food, nice people at work, and a beautiful atmosphere. Thank you!

This was no doubt once a great country house and perhaps even a great hotel, but it now has the flavour of a two- or three-star parador run on a shoestring: faded cloth 'flowers' on the restaurant tables; a stuffed bear at the entrance hall (which may have once held welcoming notices for arriving guests but no more); no porters; a bell to ring for staff at the largely unmanned bar and reception desk, etc. Service was hit and miss, but its saving grace was excellent food, obviously cooked with care. The hotel sits alongside a fine golf course, which would be a definite plus for players.

A wonderful experience, such an elegant ‘hotel’. Location easy to find, setting amazing, I can only say it was a total delight to have experienced my stay. Restaurant food high standard, decor so elegant. Rum standard extremely high quality.

Our knowledge of Bjertorp Castle is over 20 years old. Now we hadn't been there for 10 years, and it was time for a return visit. The wonderful alley is the same, thank God! Magical feeling driving up to the castle. All the motorhomes in the parking lot were something new, perhaps taking a bit of the exclusiveness away from the entrance area. The bear in the hallway welcomed us as last time, very nice. The service at check-in, on the other hand, was less pleasant, not welcoming, no smile, this was not like "the old days".... The room was on the 3rd floor with a view to the park. Due to insects called Trips we were not allowed to open the windows, this made the room very hot, despite two fans running all the time. Could AC be an idea? But then it was time for dinner, and it was very good. Our waiter also contributed to the evening being a very pleasant experience. The atmosphere in the restaurant was as nice as we remembered it. Breakfast the next day was good and we could enjoy it outside (along with the Thrips insects). Pleasant breakfast hostess. But the same unpleasant lady at check-out... You should do something about this, Bjertorp. A wonderful place that you are lucky enough to invite us guests to shouldn't be scratched by rude staff. Otherwise: Rating 8 out of 10!

Staff try hard and lovely setting but single rooms 222 and 224 are at the back of the building above the kitchens and west facing so impossibly hot. No fan and when the weather did cool at about 10pm, the smell from the rubbish bins was overwhelming through the open windows. Add the noise of bottles being recycled and the staff revving their engines as they departed until about 11pm and it was a very disappointing stay for our first night.
