This charming hotel is conveniently located in the beautiful Djursland countryside, not really far from anything! You are close to the beach and not far from either Ebeltoft or Grenaa.

This should not be a problem. ||PS There is good wifi and there is...

You can sit at the front too, every room has 2 chairs and a small table there, but then basically you sit between the cars at the parking lot. Very nice and friendly staff. Breakfast basic but very good. The restaurant offered...
Read moreWe come here every year, twice if we have the oppurtunity. Krofatter and Kromutter (the couple who owns it) are the most loveable and kind people always ready to help and guide. The food is good old danish food just like grandma used to make it and we always enjoy the atmosphere of the restaurant.||||The hotel is located on beautiful Djursland with short drives to some of the best zoo's and we always combine a zoo trip with one...
