Check-out officially no later than 10.00
But if I know that all the arriving guest arrives in Ebeltoft late afternoon/evening. Because they start their day hiking in Mols-Bjerge or get here by bus in the evening. Then it will be possible for you to check-out a bit later.

If you are a sports fan you will find 2 places in the neighborhood were you can see EM, VM and more, please contact them directly to check if they air the “game” you wish to see. We made a small post in relations to EM 2024 about the location of these places, see the post to find the “sports bars”

Free public parking

We are located in a residential area and share the parking spaces with the other residents and their guests.

You are allowed to park in our street Søndergade, as long as you do not park at the pavement, block exits and as long emergency vehicles can pass by.

There are actual a lot of parking spaces available here and close by. For more detailed information see the post PARKING

Animals are not allowed access

We do love animals and have a biodiversity garden, but because of asthma and allergies animals have to remain outdoors.

Please help us keeping windows and doors closed, to ensure the “wildlife” do not enter.

It has happened more than once that a birds fly in the open door and the neighbor cat knows how to squeeze’s itself into empty rooms using a very small window opening.

Please note that the window child lock only assist in relation to prevent kids from crawling out, it will not keep anybody nor any animals out.

You will occasionally hear martens, seagulls and other animals landing on the roof and running around, but with joint help, we can ensure that they do not stray into the house.

Thank you very much in advance, for keeping the windows and doors completely closed when you are not in the room.

Smokers corner

We have a small nice corner for smokers, this is the only place at our premises where smoking is allowed.

It is allowed for smokers to ask nonsmokers, that enjoy the evening sun in the smoking corner, to take a seat elsewhere so there is room for you to enjoy your smoke in the smokers corner 🙂

Smoking is prohibited everywhere else, both indoors, in the garden and in front of the house.

Thank you very much for your understanding.

Environmentally conscious ?

If you are an environmentally conscious guest, then you are most welcome to bring your own bed linen and towels. You will find pillows and duvets in the room.

Remember that for hygiene reasons it is mandatory to use pillowcases, duvet covers and sheets for all the beds.

If you wish to use a sleeping bag or similar, then we can remove the duvet and pillow from the room, to give you more space. Please remember you still need use sheets for the beds.

It is of course possible to rent bed linen and towels from us. But we would like to know this in advance.

Get a chill nights sleep

One of the advantages of keeping the windows closed is that the summer heat does not enter your room. If you roll down both curtains at the same time, you can ensure a comfortable night temperature in the summer.

Why? Because the rooms are located below ground level and the ground temperature in the summer is colder than the air and sun temperature. An very efficient and environmental cooling system.

In the evening when the outside temperature is cooler, you can open the window to get fresh air in.

But please only open the windows if you are in the room yourself.

If you want to sleep with the window open in winter or at other times when it is cool outside, please lower the temperature on the radiator. You do this by pressing “V” until you reach a temperature that matches the outside night temperature or down to the setting “frost protection”.

Please keep the windows closed, when you are not in the room

It is important that you always keep the windows closed when you are not in the room. This will prevent unwanted animals and persons to gain access to our place.

The child lock on the windows are only prevent kids from crawling out of the rooms. The hook is easy to open from the outside, and the neighbor cat knows how to squeeze in a small window opening.

Furthermore your room will be filled with bugs, rain, dust and grass, when the grass is mowed by us or the neighbor.

A summer bonus is that you get a chilled sleep, for more about cooling the room, please see the above post: “Preventing the room from getting to hot.”

No late outdoor stays

You are most welcome to enjoy our patio and garden during the day and early evening.

In the summer, there are parasols, tables and chairs on the grass, so you can sit outside and enjoy the weather.

When the clock strikes 10 pm, according to our grants, it is no longer allowed to stay in the garden, regardless of who you are. Due to our suburban location in a residential area. So no people are allowed outside at our premises after 10 p.m.

The police have also pointed out that the garden must be cleaned up before 10 p.m.

Thank you very much for helping us to keep the garden neat, tidy and surrendered to the animals of the forest when the clock strikes 10 p.m.

Please always remember to close the parasol if you open it, also during the day.
