The Well House
The village of Barkhult is on the border between the province of Småland and Skåne, not far from the historical railway town of Älmhult (most well known in Sweden as the home of IKEA).

Two extra beds in separate cottage c. 25m from house available for small fee. Access to rowing boat and bicycles can be arranged with owners. The cottage is available all year around.
Nearest gas station and grocery store is in Häradsbäck (c. 5km). A wider selection (including wines and spirits) can be found in Älmhult (17km)
Location:
This part of Småland consists of a rolling plateau of woods and marshland with numerous lakes and rivers. Barkhult village is near Lake Femlingen (one of the larger lakes in the area - the even larger lakes of Möckeln and Åsnen are also within easy reach by car). The village is very old, as evidenced by remnants of old burial sites from the stone and bronze ages, but it has remained small and rural and today it has only around 30 inhabitants. Peace and quiteness iis guaranteed!
Barkhult and the surrounding areas offer plenty of opportunity for both peaceful relaxation and activities for the whole family. The beatiful nature in this part of Sweden has been formed by the loving care of generations of farmers and Barkhult and the surrounding villages have some of the best preserved heritage environments in the area. Meadows, grazing land and grey, ageing stone walls characterise this landscape. Femlingen is within 10 minutes walk through the meadows and the forest. We are happy to lend you a small rowing boat if you would like to take a trip on the lake. The cottage shares a very large ground with the original farm house - Barkhult Östregård - where we, the owners, reside.
We would love to have you as our guest here in Barkhult, and if you need it, we are happy to provide you with ideas on things to do and see in the area!
