An elegant retreat by the water
Krusenberg Herrgård sits beautifully on the shores of Lake Ekoln, roughly 20 kilometres south of Söderfors towards Uppsala. It’s a classic hotel that draws many guests seeking peace and quiet — a good choice if you want to get away for a weekend without travelling far.
What you get here
The hotel offers stylish rooms, many recently renovated, along with a restaurant serving elegant food. There’s a gym and spa facilities, and many guests highlight the sauna as a real draw — it sits by the lake with fine views and year-round swimming (sauna charged separately). What guests love most is the calm and atmosphere; many describe mornings down by the water as “magical”.
Breakfast is well regarded, and the bar has a reputation for good drinks. Staff consistently earn praise for being friendly and helpful.
What guests say
Most who stay here are happy — the hotel rates highly (4.5 stars) and has many returning guests. Visitors especially appreciate the peaceful setting, the sauna and lake views. Some mention that certain rooms are simple in design and there’s limited activity after dinner, so this suits those after relaxation rather than action.
