5 cozy getaways
Cozy getaways
A close friend (it is this one) who is also one of my most loyal readers shared that she was a bit disappointed when she tried to search for “cozy getaways” and the result showed zero hits. To meet this I decided to get on this topic as soon as possible. As always, I am aim to please.
When I think of a cozy getaway I think Autumn or Winter. I think lazy mornings in bed with a cup of coffee, the husband and something to read. I think long walks in beautiful nature, cashmere jumpers and high skies. I think open fire place with a drink in hand, snuggling under a blanket Basically just total, utter relaxation.
So here are five of the hotels I’ve stayed at that fit my version of a what a cozy getaway is. I hope it also fits yours.
TypeO / Ystad, Sweden
This hotel invites you to disconnect from reality for a while, to find a slower pace and just relax. It is located outside Ystad in the countryside and run by super friendly couple Micha and Magnus. When staying here I would suggest you go to the beautiful hiking area called Snogeholm just a short drive away. Since this B&B only has one room it feels like staying at your own, private country retreat It doesn’t more cozy than this.

Les Cabanes de Rensiwez / Houffalize, Belgium
In the Ardennes in Belgium, there is this fantastic cabin hotel that screams cozy. The cute houses are scattered along a mountain ridge, standing on stilts, towering over the mountain side. And the inside looks like it could have been designed by Hobbits. Of course there is a fireplace so you can really cozy on up and come morning, breakfast is delivered to the cabin in a small basket.

The Pig at Combe / Honiton, UK
There is something about the British countryside that just screams cozy getaway. You can picture those long walks over the moor followed by a pint by the fire in a country pub. One place that fits so well into that fantasy is the Pig at Combe. We stayed in a thatched cottage where we had our own fireplace to sit by after having been out walking all day. A great hotel if you are looking for someplace really cozy.

Hirschen / Schwarzenberg, Austria
This place is one of those warm Austrian mountain hotels where the main building has these low ceilings that has a great effect on the coziness level. There are several corners where you can kick back with a book and something to drink after having spent all day skiing or hiking. And you know what, the food is so great here.

Fjällnäs / Tänndalen, Sweden
The Swedish mountains have several lodge-like hotels with a long heritage. Hotels people have been coming to for ages to enjoy nature and have a cozy getaway. Fjällnäs is located in Härjedalen, close to the Norwegian border. A classic mountain hotel with open fireplace, great food and a classic sauna to relax in.
