All beds are made-up for your arrival (linens (lakan) + towels), the tents have electricity and a heating fan for cold and humid nights (not a 100% guarantee the electricity works, sometimes a cable gets water on, or being stepped on or every tent use the heaters at the same time; then it gets disconnected), PLEASE bring warm clothes, even in the summer, the nights can be cold although the covers are warm! (The terrace heaters are to use under strict rules (they are warm and can be dangerous, max 30 min use, placed free of objects around.)

ABOUT US
Our Philosophy
To think about when Glamping
To think about when Glamping
Our line in this is to try and keep Sörby Glamping according to the recycling principle. The tents, pillows, solar lamps etc are new, but most other things have been recycled in one way or another. We use organic products as much as possible, soap, detergent, some breakfast items etc. We used to be organic farmers!

The tents are thick & solid and are great even in heavy rain and storms! However, it is good to keep in mind that you sleep outdoors and that it can get chilly when there is colder weather. In addition to blankets, we also have heating fans. And for the opposite - in warm weathers, it might be hot in the tent and a table fan is there.
The tents have mosquito nets so you can sleep with the door open.
You live out in nature, so there may be small visitors in the form of all nature's insects. The tents are cleaned before you arrive but you never know if anyone will find their way inside and they are easy to miss!
Please note:
Despite the tranquility of the garden and the environment, all noises seem to get amplified in the tents; the sheep, neighbours and the traffic on road 34 even though it is 300 m away. We leave earplugs in each tents ; ).
History

History
Sörby farm is first mentioned as early as 1269. ’Nikolaus in Sörby'. In 1860 Count Posse had a new manor house built when Göta Canal was dug, designed by the famous castle architect Abraham Nyström.
The Swedish-American inventor John Ericsson lived in the east side-house around 1850.
'The American Civil War broke out in 1861. One of his most revolutionary constructions, armoured vessel the Monitor, defeated the southern states’ feared Merrimac armoured vessel in a epoch-making maritime battle. As a result, John Ericsson became an engineer with a global reputation.'
