Hofsnäs Herrgård is a manor house in Länghem, in the Sjuhärad area of western Sweden, that hosts conferences, kick-offs, parties and weddings for 10 to 150 guests. Three settings are on offer: a meeting room on the manor's second floor for up to 35 people, a barn for groups of 35 to 150 in the warm season, and a lakeside cottage for up to 12 with a sauna and hot tub. The estate stands beside Lake Åsunden inside the Torpanäset nature reserve.
Seminars and company events
The manor's meeting room is on the second floor and takes 10 to 35 people. It is equipped with a projector, a screen and wifi, and can be booked Monday to Friday. The day package includes a scones breakfast, a three-course lunch, coffee, tea, fruit, sweets and drinks throughout the day, and a home-baked afternoon snack.
For larger groups the barn, called Ladan, takes 35 to 150 people between May and August or September. It has a projector, a screen, wifi, speakers and microphones. The day package follows the same pattern as in the manor, with a lunch buffet in place of the plated lunch. For groups above 60 people the estate prepares an individual offer.
Small teams of up to 12 can work in Sjöstugan, the lake cottage. A projector and a screen are available on request, and the cottage includes access to a sauna and a hot tub. Lunch, coffee and the afternoon snack are added to the base rental.
Weddings and receptions
Parties and weddings are held in the barn. The estate says that celebrations have been organized at the manor for as long as anyone remembers, and it runs open house days in the barn for couples who want to see the room before booking. The website does not give a separate wedding capacity, so confirm it with the estate. Requests go through the booking form, where you tick the party and wedding service.
Rooms and capacities
Three rooms are published. The manor meeting room holds 10 to 35 people. The barn holds 35 to 150. The lake cottage holds up to 12. The barn is used in the warm season only.
Accommodation
Overnight stays are available in Sjöstugan, which has five rooms and 12 fixed beds. The stay is charged per person and night on top of the cottage rental. The estate also lists a separate accommodation page, and motorhome pitches are offered on the grounds.
Catering
Food is prepared by the estate. Conference days include breakfast with scones, lunch, coffee and an afternoon snack. The estate also serves a bistro and café, afternoon tea and seasonal buffets. Special diets must be reported at least 48 hours before the visit. Same-day or short-notice requests are handled by phone.
History and setting
The estate appears under the name Lindö in Birgit Th Sparre's novels Gårdarna runt sjön, which describe manor life up to the 1940s. It stands in the Torpanäset nature reserve, close to Lake Åsunden, and walking paths run along the waterfront on both sides. The website also lists cycling, hiking and fishing as activities for groups.
