The hotel is located about 2km outside the lovely lake-side Silkeborg. You can walk into town alongside the lakes - about 15 minutes - or the hotel seems to have some bikes you can borrow.
Hotel is the usual good Scandic quality. Lovely modern rooms, flatscreen tvs, minibar and powershower. All boxes ticked. Great breakfast with fresh breads and multitude of meats and pastries.
Its probably especially good if you have children. The pool is about 10m x 4m - so great for a dip, but not the olympic swimmer. Theres a playroom for kids, plus trampolenes outside in the rear. Also lots of fun to be had in the forest next door.
For the funloving oldies, the bar isn't atmospheric - but is well stocked with draft Danish beers and international bottles. Theres a pool table, fuseball table, and a darts board downstairs. Plus its only a short drunken stroll into town.
