Baggå Skola Bed and Breakfast is a small and personal BnB located in a 19th century school house, about nine kilometers outside Skinnskatteberg in northern Västmanland, on the border with Dalarna. Baggå village dates all the way back to the 16th century and was known for its mills, forge, and dairy. Today the old remains of industry are hidden in the bushes. The general store and gas station closed down long ago, but the village is near the small community of Skinnskatteberg, where supplies can be bought.

We, Amy and Tomas, have been running Baggå Skola BnB & Café for many years. We had just moved back from abroad and fell in love with the building and the magical surroundings in Hedströmsdalen. We have converted the old school halls into a BnB & café and opened a small thrift shop in the barn. When staying at Baggå Skola BnB, you get strong coffee, homemade yogurt and freshly baked bread for breakfast, all year round. Our small size makes us a popular choice for smaller groups and family reunions – you can rent the whole house for events such as corporate conferences, bachelor parties, family gatherings etc.

The small village of Baggå is made up of a scattering of farms in a beautiful mixed meadow and woodland valley, next to a meandering stream. Enjoy the quiet, the fresh air and the wonderful nature experiences. At Baggå Skola BnB you stay comfortably in individually furnished rooms and with a warm welcome. Come to enjoy the tranquility, the surrounding wilderness and the home-cooked food.

We welcome you to Baggå School!
