BackKolonin Kuggaviken offers simple accommodation by the sea in Åsa with a friendly welcome and proximity to the beach and nature. The accommodation is highlighted by its guests for its authentic location near the strait and a relaxed atmosphere, but there are also aspects that can be improved for future stays.
