FAQ
Here are answers to the most common questions we get. For other wonderings, please write an email to booking@knystaforsen.se
Where can we stay?
When you book AN EVENING AT KNYSTAFORSEN + AN OVERNIGHT STAY, we assign you the best room available – some are within walking distance, others are farther away and include complimentary shuttle service.
If you have a lodging preference, please let us know before booking or by replying to the confirmation email you receive after booking. We’ll try our very best to house you at the accommodation of your choice.
The 3 double-occupancy rooms at Villa Knystaforsen are very popular and often fully booked.
You can see our room types here.
Can I stay overnight in a mobile home?
Yes, absolutely! We have a few parking spaces reserved for guests who are spending the night in their own mobile homes. Just book a table without a room, and follow the instructions in the confirmation email. You may also reserve a table for breakfast the day after your dinner.
Our parking spaces don’t offer any amenities such as electricity etc., however, there is a campsite for mobile homes very close to us, at Rydö Golfklub
Camping
Nature is all around us, with plenty of space to pitch a tent. Here in Sweden you are free to do so anywhere in nature, as long as you do not disturb or destroy anyone or anything. Read more about “Allemansrätten” here. We do not offer camping on our property.
What does a dinner at Knystaforsen cost?
See more about the experience and our current prices here.
Can I buy a gift card?

I have a gift card, how do I book?
You can use your gift card as physical payment here at Knystaforsen. When you reserve a table, our usual 1 000 SEK/person deposit is requested in order to confirm the reservation. The deposit will be returned after the visit if the total amount (deposit + gift card amount) exceeds the amount of the bill.
Can I charge an electric car?
You can charge your car by our neighbours CBM retail (between Knystaforsen and Knystaria). Use the app Spirii go. Please note that a payment is required for charging. The charging stations are not available Monday-Friday 7-16, as they are reserved for CBM during these periods. Please note that we cannot guarantee the functionality of the charging stations on the day of your visit. Another option is to charge the car in Hyltebruk, next to Coop (free of charge).
There are also charging stations by Coop in Torup and Hyltebruk.
When can I book for later dates?
If you’d like to book for a date that is not yet available in the booking system, please sign up for our newsletter where we inform about future booking options.
Do you cater to special diets?
We can always make pescatarian and vegetarian alternatives and can cater to many common food allergies if we get a notice well in advance. Pregnancy is not a problem. We can always make a vegetarian menu if you would like to be on the safe side and follow the recommendations from the health authorities.
We are unfortunately not able to accommodate vegan or milk free menus. We can accommodate gluten intolerance, but not gluten allergy.
Can I bring a child?
Children aged 11+ are welcome and will be served the full menu. No babies in the restaurant and in our rooms, sorry. If you need to bring your baby and a nanny, please contact us about lodging options.
Can I bring a dog?
Yes, we do have some rooms where dogs are welcome. Please let us know if you plan to bring a dog. No dogs in or outside the restaurant, sorry.
Can I bring my own wine?
No, according to Swedish law we are not allowed to let guests bring their own wine or other alcoholic beverages.
What is your dress code?
You will be eating your dinner indoors. We wear what makes us feel comfortable, and we expect nothing else from you. Please be advised that Knystaforsen is situated in the middle of nature, why we recommend casual footwear. We cook over an open fire, and from time to time we invite our guests to join us outdoors. This can leave a smoky remark on your clothing, just the way we like it. With that in mind, you do not need any special clothes.
What are the seating times?
Our overnight guests can check in from 15:00, and will be appointed a time for the dinner between 18:00-19:30. We only have one seating, which lasts approximately 4 hours.
Will you do Cooking on Fire Workshops again?
We currently do not have any Cooking on fire workshops planned, sorry.
How to get here by public transport?
You can travel to Rydöbruk by bus from Torup, Halmstad or Hyltebruk. Trains run to Torup nearby from Halmstad, Falkenberg and Jönköping with direct connections to Malmö, Copenhagen and Gothenburg. If you are spending the night at our rooms in Torup, then we will pick you up and drive you back after the dinner.
We do not offer pick ups for guests that are not staying at our own accommodations, sorry. Instead, we advice you to book a taxi in advance.
How to book a taxi?
The nearest local taxi service is Sennans Taxi. It is adviced to book the taxi in advance. To / from Halmstad there are several options for booking a taxi, e.g. Tre Hjärtan.
Which are the nearest airports?
The nearest international airports are Gothenburg, Malmö, Växjö and Copenhagen, all within 1,5-2 hours from us. There is also an airport in Halmstad 45 minutes away, with connections to Stockholm among other places.
Can we walk/cycle?
We are close to the walking route Hallandsleden and the cycling route Hylteslingan.
What are the terms for confirmation and cancellation?
When booking you will pay a booking deposit of 1 000 SEK per person. Once the payment is received the booking is confirmed. If payment is not received within 72 hours after booking, the booking will be automatically cancelled. The booking deposit will be deducted from the bill on the night of your visit. The deposit will not be returned if you cancel your reservation. This is unfortunately regardless of the cause. The reservation may be changed to another date up until 5 days before (see below). You are of course always welcome to pass on your booking to someone else. If so, please write us an email to booking@knystaforsen.se
Can I change my reservation to another date?
You may change the reservation to another date up until 5 days before and keep the deposit. Less than 5 days before, a new deposit must be paid in order to change the booking to another date. This is unfortunately regardless of the cause. Of course you are always welcome to pass on the reservation to a friend if for one reason or another you cannot make it. In that case, please write an e-mail to booking@knystaforsen.se
Why won’t I get my deposit back if I cancel or want to change the booking less than 5 days before?
Booking a table with us is similar to buying a ticket to a concert, theater, or a holiday. Every time a table is booked in our restaurant, it locks the possibility that another guest can book. Most of our guests don’t live around the corner, and a visit with us is something that is often planned well ahead. Even if we have guests on the waiting list, we have no guarantee of filling an empty table with a short notice. This also applies when rescheduling.
Can you recommend walking routes or other activities around you?
There are lots of things to do in our beautiful surroundings. We have made a little folder with our own personal favourites. You may find more tips in the app A Day in Halland, or check Hylte Kommuns tourist site for info and advice.
