Cheshire. In the green English countryside, Sweden will levy a fee on gold.
Blagult Base Camp Carden Park is the most luxurious women’s national team ever.
– It’s not cheap. This is not the case, as revealed by national team manager Marika Domansky Livorce.
Even when the car turns through the stone gate, we are amazed at the scale of the hotel area. Immediately on the right is the football stadium where Sweden will train during this summer’s tournament. However, the hotel building itself is not yet visible.
The Sportbladet is on site at the border with Wales to test the Swede’s hotel just over a month before check-in in blue and yellow. It should be visible at the seams and we should taste, feel and smell it through everything from the fully renovated spa facility to the gym and football field.
Of course, rooms, dining rooms, activities, and exercise opportunities should be categorized.
full of activities
There is more chance that Swedish players will get lost on an area of more than 400 hectares than they will get bored and “die the hotel”.
Here you’ll find, among other things, 18-hole double golf courses, a state-of-the-art virtual driving course, tennis and archery courts, a newly renovated spa, and a high-altitude course.
We may have to choose what activities you can do and what you cannot do. Laughs Domansky Levors, we have to send the leaders on the course on the heights.
“In the beginning, you may not need to do many other things because there are a lot of other impressions, but you don’t want to end up in the death of the hotel,” says national team manager Marika Domansky-Lefors.
I got used to the stars
Due to the long distances, it is convenient that there are plenty of golf carts in the area. They are learned to be widely used by players.
Despite the fact that the food on the property is of a high class, Sweden will still have its own chefs, and the national team will have its own role in the dining room.
When the Sportbladet is shown in the room, the waiter sets the table for tonight’s dinner. While our guide proudly presents the view and the Welsh hills to be seen on the horizon, the waiter is happy to say that the place is also approved by the Hollywood elite.
It’s a place accustomed to receiving stars. This fall, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney lived here. The acting duo own Welsh side Wrexham playing their home games twenty minutes away.
Reynolds was wondering where the paparazzi were hiding. before realizing that there is nothing. Although there are plenty of potential hiding places.
I don’t want to say the cost
Sweden also had an EC rule in 2017, but then they didn’t have the opportunity to choose for themselves but had to take one of the alternatives from the regulator’s catalog. Although the hotel itself was nice, they ended up in the middle of a crossroads.
This time, Blågult has taken matters into his own hands and the players are satisfied.
– Of course you had time to look a little at how it looks and it looks very good. Best of all, Stena Blacksteinus says.
But quality costs. The national team manager does not want to reveal exactly how much luxury housing in Sweden will cost.
– I don’t really know, I’d say. But we’ll have to add that when it becomes relevant. I think we found a very good place, but it’s not cheap.
He appears. The place itself has been renovated and modernized for tens of millions in recent years alone. For those with little money left, it is possible to purchase all the artwork in the hotel area. The most expensive statue has a price of 3.8 million Swedish kronor.
In addition to the hotel evaluation
Region – 
Carden Park exudes luxury and tranquility. From the first moment. With an area of just over 400 hectares, it is an area too large to accommodate at first.
Next to the golf course there is a pheasant who watches the people who come along the way. A little further away, another person is waiting. The resort’s swans live in the pond on the 17th hole and large black crows stretch along the golf course. You hear, there are birds everywhere, so players who are afraid of poultry can have problems.
the mood – 
It is in the middle of the English countryside. Almost as if we were in Wales. Getting to the resorts by bus takes between one and two hours, which is of course a big plus. Here, Sweden will definitely get peace and quiet, but the rating drops somewhat due to the fact that it is in the middle of nowhere. Admittedly, that’s what the players wanted, but if someone feels like seeing some people’s life or just going to a supermarket, it will.
coverage – 
There is a problem and it can get big quickly. While touring the area, we lose coverage time and time again. Usually, the weight of a good performing wi-fi can be, but not always.
the rooms –
The first thing that catches your eye when you open the door, as in large parts of the hotel, is the view. Obviously, the players who get rooms against Wales win the lottery. It is a bit dark in the rooms but very refreshing.
What can cause problems here is if the sun is lit. We don’t see A/C in the room but in the closet there is at least a small fan hidden away. Let’s hope there won’t be a heat wave like the one during the World Cup in France this summer, you might be sweaty.
The bed is comfortable. At least if you like relatively solid beds. There are plenty of pillows and they are comfortable. It looks so nice that guests heard through the hotel’s social media to see where they came from. Let’s see who connects the house with them?
Wardrobe space is limited but that might not be the biggest problem. When we open the bathroom door, it can’t open completely but hits the toilet. The pigeon is in the bathroom and two people will live here. Yes, then they have to fight for space…
afternoon tea –
Perhaps the most important test to see how far Britain?
We get a teapot and it is balanced in its taste. In addition, there is a three-tier cake pan. Downstairs are small sandwiches of white bread with a filling. The salmon obviously stands out. in a positive sense. good down with.
Second floor cakes. It may be a little dry, but it is very tasty. I’d love to take another.
At the top we find the sugar bomb. Here are desserts that taste just as good as they look. A great combination of fresh yoghurt, chocolate and coffee. The team will have its own chef, but this one is definitely worth a try!
football yard – 
Shortly after we pass the district gates, we see the football field. It is a full-size, UEFA-approved scheme that Sweden will include.
Here it was drilled, dried and installed. When you enter the Sportbladet through the wooden gate, the stadium is freshly decorated and decorated with chalk. At first glance, it looks great in the evening sun, but when we look closely, there are a few notes. So far the carpet has stains. It will definitely be ready for summer.
The target cages are worn and the surrounding area is clearly not ready yet, but it is also easy to repair.
Even more disturbing is the fact that the plan is asymmetric. It feels as if it swells when you lie down and makes contact. Hopefully it’s the case that the area’s environmental rangers are just ventilating the stadium and that everything is quiet once Sweden has scored.
Training Opportunities –
In addition to the soccer field, the national team has access to an indoor pool, double fitness studios, a spinning studio, and a large gym. There are five walking machines inside the newly renovated gym, two rowing machines, two leg lifts and plenty of spaces.
Activities –
Here we can continue what we love. How will the players have time to play football?
On the golf course, there are dual 18-hole courses (one of them designed by legend Jack Nicklaus) and a state-of-the-art driving range where a club pro can help if anyone wants to learn the technology on the swing. In the adjacent building there is a game of table football, billiards, table tennis and a giant four-row view.
Outside, those who want to shoot from air rifles, experience archery or drive on a fast track. Or why not a high-altitude track with both a climbing wall and a nice long zipline?
Just outside the hotel entrance is a sculpture garden. Here is something for everyone. big and small. If anyone falls into a fish skeleton, a large lion, or a heart holding their hand, no wonder. Everything in the garden is for sale.
The area also has a vineyard, double tennis courts, chess and checkers.
And we haven’t even come to the spa yet…
Spa –
Money was spent here. At the entrance we are faced with a four-meter-high moss wall. There is a restaurant focused on health, as well as an indoor and outdoor section.
Inside the thermal bath there is a large swimming pool with in-seat massage function, heated sunbeds and an entire sauna area.
Outdoors there are three jacuzzis and a larger swimming pool. Scattered throughout the garden there are plenty of sunbeds for gamers who like to work a little on the fire and although it was fully covered in the spa when we visited, it didn’t feel like it at all. There is plenty of room to protect yourself.
In the middle of the garden there is a champagne bar and next to a large campfire. That he has just started a new season of Love Island UK is concerning. Because this campfire is very reminiscent of where the participants in Love Reality were voted on. Let’s hope blue and yellow stay away from that. Sad if only half of the players are left for the final…
