Fairytale half-timbered summer house near Udsholt Beach

Like something out of a fairytale, this thatched half-timbered house sits in the sweet spot between the North Coast's historic seaside resorts. Here is a cottage that combines original details and atmospheric decor - perfectly suited for the large family or the couple of friends who want a retreat surrounded by nature and picturesque surroundings.

The cottage is light and airy, with a living room and kitchen in one, so the evening cooks can easily whip up a meal in the kitchen, while others lounge on the floating sofa in the glow of the fireplace. The cottage's orangery is particularly fine, inviting slow meals and long evenings with open sky views. Here you can enjoy cosy moments with lighted fairy lights overhead and underfloor heating underfoot as the sun sets over the garden and the stars appear.

When night falls, you can spread out in the three bedrooms - one on the ground floor and two on the first floor - with fine sloping walls and exposed rafters. If you need extra sleeping space, the sofa and double air mattress are ready. Get up for morning coffee on the terrace, where there are good spots to be found in both the morning and evening sun.

In the garden, there are plenty of garden games to let the kids loose in when you're not warming up around the fire pit or heading for Udsholt's fine sandy beach a good 800 metres away. You can also hop on the cottage's bikes and take a trip past Gilleleje's lively fishing port or Heatherhill's heather-clad hills.
