The previous owners, Sharon and Agneta, decided to stop SWESCOT, and sell the two cottages that were left. But when Samuel and Fiona came to visit their friends in Kolforsen in 2022, their love for Kolforsen started to grow, So, they came back and after a few visits decided they wanted to buy both cottages and restart SWESCOT, which is a whole new adventure for them. The cottage are located in a quiet village and Samuel and Fiona want to let other people experience the tranquillity and beauty of Kolforsen. Because Samuel and Fiona still live in the Netherlands, they drive here regularly to enjoy the quietness and walking in the forest as if they are the only ones. And that is exactly what they want to share with their guest, the freedom and safety they feel here. And that’s why they asked Sandra to take care of you. Sandra lives with her husband Jerry in one of the original SWESCOT cottages ‘THISTLE COTTAGE nr 39’. Sandra knows a lot about Kolforsen. The history, the geology and the beautiful places as well as various paths through the forest, where she walks her dog Aslan. She speaks 3 languages (English, Swedish and Dutch. And she does understand German, but doesn’t speak it) Jerry and Samuel known each other for 40 years!
