Pets
May we bring our dog / pet when we are staying at Pensionat Söderåsen?

Yes, well behaved dogs and pets are welcome to stay with us. However, it is important that you announce that you have a dog / pet with you when you make your reservation, since animals are not allowed in all rooms. On our farm we have dogs, cats, goats and chickens, so it is important that your dogs are kept leashed and supervised during their stay.

I am allergic to fur animals like cats/dogs. Do you offer room suitable for sensitive allergy sufferers?

We have some rooms in the B&B wing where pets are never allowed. Pets are not allowed in common areas such as the kitchen, the breakfast room either.
On the farm, however, there are cats, dogs, goats and chickens, so if you are very sensitive, the overall environment might be a bit challenging.

ACCESSIBILITY
Is the guest house accessible for handicapped ?

All guest rooms and apartments are on the ground floor and there is a ramp up to the entrance, so there are no challenging stairs in the building. However, the rooms are quite small and therefore there is not much room for maneuvering a wheelchair in the guests rooms. The garden consists mainly of lawns and the courtyard is covered with a single, so the groundwork is varied and not hard.

Feel free to ask if you have any questions or concerns about accessibility – we will be happy to help!
