Inspired by Cole’s extensive hospitality background and the natural beauty of Humlegårdsstrand, the Roberts family realised their dream of sharing this idyllic setting. Hop Farm Beach opened its doors, offering a year-round retreat from the digital world. With the first rental cabin situated about 50 meters from the sandy shores of Dragedsviken, they invite others to discover their slice of heaven, ensuring guests find their own ‘Cabin Away’—a perfect escape into nature, happiness, and family moments at any time of the year.
