Hotelpension Ewaldsgården

Zealand


Set in a picture-perfect garden with vine-shaded terrace, this 17th-century farmhouse pension is a delightfully cosy mix of antiques and cottage-style furnishings, but it only operates as a pay-per-room guesthouse by advance reservation and only during the summer holiday season. All 12 rooms have washbasins, but showers and toilets are off the hall. There’s a simple guest kitchen.

Though it's just beyond a large school, barely five minutes' walk southeast of the train station, the location nonetheless feels almost rural.
