This old inn, set amid forest on the outskirts of town, is a destination hotel where design and gastronomy are taken seriously and the result is something special. Rooms epitomise farmhouse chic, all florals, patchworks and antiques. Add a library, romantic grounds and wonderful New Nordic–inspired restaurant, Skov (meaning 'forest'), and you too will be dreading checkout.
Skov is open Wednesday to Sunday evenings (three/five courses 475/600kr) and has a great seafood buffet on Friday nights.
To reach the hotel from Viborg, take Rte 13 south then follow signs for 'Hald Ege'. Bus 53 runs out this way.
