Part 3a - CLOSED DOWN ACCOMMODATION
Owing to the economic depression, the following accommodation is now closed down and unavailable: the hôtel Hillringsberg Herrgård and guest house (Hillringsberg Förmansbostaden) in Hillringsberg, and the hôtel in Glava (Glava Gäst Gård), have all gone bankrupt and have closed down for the present or (in the case of Glava Gäst Gård) have been turned into a centre for processing refugees. In case these should once again become available in the future, they are being included in an appendix.
Appendix of Formerly Available Accommodation
in Hillringsberg and Glava
1. Hillringsberg Hôtels (right next door - 20 minute walk)
Best option available: This very reasonably priced Guest House is only a 25 minute walk or 5 minute drive to the Conference Centre and is available all the year round. Maximum 8 guests (so book early): three double rooms, one family room and one single room. Cost per person per day is about SEK 350:- that includes a prepared breakfast. There is also a kitchen where you can prepare your own meals any time you like. Shared shower room (with washing machine) and toilet. Manager: Berit Engqvist. Tel: +46 (0)570 42101. Email: berit@engqvist.nu
Available only to guests in the summer: If you're taking the buss from Arvika you will have to disembark at the top of the road leading to this conference centre. It is a 15-20 minute walk to it. We will of course help you with transport to get your baggage to the hôtel from the busstop and help you get to the buss on the return trip so you don't have to carry heavy bags around for 15 minutes. Just telephone us (0570-42001) when you arrive and let us know if at all possible beforehand so that we can plan. The hôtel is a converted manor house, beautifully decorated and furnished, and has a view over the fjord. If you're willing to pay a little extra, you'll find it very pleasant accommodation indeed.
2. Glava Hôtels (in our local village - 10 minute drive) - CLOSED
- Glava Gäst Gård (GGG) (Swedish website - email at reception@glavagastgard.se)
The hôtel is only a couple of minutes walk from the bus stop in Glava village and can be quite clearly seen on the right as you arrive if you are taking a buss from Arvika, being the largest building in the whole area. There are some quite reasonably priced chalets too with shared living room space. It is cheaper than Hillringsberg Herrgård and the main GGG building. Those on a limited budget prefer the chalets.
3. Former Conference Centre Accommodation
We used to keep one small, centrally-heated single guest room at the Conference Centre which we reserve for those with special needs, such as old people, or for ministers, which is no longer available. This has now been transferred to the Guest House. CLOSED
4. The Conference Centre Summer House - we have a quaint two-room 18th century summer house without electricity or water (we can run a cable to it for some light) or heating (the wood burners are not usuable) so you would have to use the Conference Centre's bathroom facilities. It is only 1 minute from the main building (see pictures below). It can easily accommodate 5 adults and a few children. You would need to bring your own sleeping bags or bed linen. We are happy to let people use this free so long as they keep it clean and return it to the condition it was when they arrived at departure. They must be prepared to share if others wish to use it. We can arrange to have women and children in one room and men in the other as needs be. You are welcome to use it in the spring and autumn/fall months if you don't mind low temperatures and have good sleeping bags. CLOSED
