Mårtens i Hästbo – Cottage life in a rolling landscape
A cozy rural cottage is your holiday-home on our farm “Mårtens i Hästbo”. Relax and enjoy independance in your own small house with a patio and Barbecue. You’re surrounded by a rolling landscape with small gravel-roads – perfect for your cycling or hiking trips. If you want to play golf, try one of Swedens most stunning golf-courses, only 10 minutes away. More sights and activities await in the region, so get ready for some new discoveries.
We keep some farm animals like rabbits, a cat and 27 chickens. Later this year, a goat-family will move in, as well as horses. Right now, we prepare the grand opening of our farmshop and café, an exciting project that calls for a sneak-preview during summer / autumn 2021.
The farm Mårtens i Hästbo has a long legacy and history. The name goes back to the former owner Mårten Larsson, born in 1707, and his son Per Mårtensson. Back then, Hästbo was a traditional village build on top of the hill. Today, we write our own farm history – starting 2020, the year we moved in.
