Pedersminde Guesthouse

A spacious and well-equipped house, easy to find, very nice hosts. And of course the location: the view from the house and terrace is stunning. The terrace is oriented towards the south so always sunny (and surrounded by lavender). The house close to the many interesting places in northern Sjaelland and yet in a very quiet place. Beautiful Fredensborg castle and gardens are really closeby and supermarkets can be found at the entrance of Fredensborg village.

The observation in some of the comments are correct: the 1st floor is spacious, with two bedrooms, but one bedroom can really only accommodate one person.

Very quiet, lovely views, nice kitchen. Central for the main sites in the region, as long as you have a car.

No tea towel provided. We had opted to bring our own bedding and towels, rather than pay extra but a dishcloth and tea towel would have been helpful.

Lovely views, great hosts who were very accommodating when I'd made an error on my booking. Great house

Nothing

Staying in this place is a real pleasure. Peace, quiet and beautiful surroundings, the perfect place to relax. Very friendly and helpful hosts.

Really nice location, looks even better than in the pictures!

Fabulous location. Great facilities. Very quiet. Perfect for a family, though I was alone, working sadly.

A stock of some essentials for self catering would be an advantage. Salt, sugar, coffee etc. I think it's a Scandinavian norm, but the bedding fitted on the beds would be lovely.

The apartment was very clean and spacey. It’s in the middle of nature and very quiet and peaceful, just what we needed. The kitchen was equipped with all necessary tools and supplies, we didn’t miss anything. Despite the remote location, the next supermarket was only 5 minutes away and even downtown Kopenhagen can be reached in 30 minutes by car.

A nice, spacious place to stay with 2 to I'd say 4 people. Perhaps a bit pricey for 2 if you don't need the extra bedroom. Very friendly hosts, a wonderful view and a short drive away from lots of things to see and do. The listing on the website says that there's a shared bathroom and a shared livingroom. These are not shared in the way Booking.com means by the term "shared": you don't have to share these with people outside of your booking group. It's just that there's one bathroom you have to share amongst yourselves. Even though the guesthouse is right next to the home of the hosts, you've got more than enough privacy. Lovely terras in the backyard where you can eat breakfast or diner and enjoy nature.

We had the "bad fortune" of being there on the hottest days (and nights) they've ever had (they broke the temperature records). That meant it was very, very hot in the bedrooms upstairs. Of course, this isn't something the hosts can do much about but if you have trouble sleeping in a warm attic this might not be the place for you during the warmest weeks of summer. The livingroom (where you can find the sofa bed for guests 5&6 if you book for 4+) does have curtains, but not on all windows and they are clearly decorative as they don't fully close. I wouldn't be able to sleep there, too much light coming in for me. When we checked in, the place wasn't fully cleaned (there was still trash in the bin in the kitchen cupboard for example). As you've got to pay for cleaning by default (it's not an option you can deselect), I would've expected the place to be a little bit cleaner (not that it was really dirty, but still). The friendliness of the hosts definitely made up for this though! The TV is in the bedroom upstairs, in a sitting area. So no TV in the livingroom downstairs. Due to the warmth we didn't want to spend our evenings upstairs so we didn't use the TV but used our laptops instead. The internet connection is quite slow, but so is the 4G connection on a mobile phone so once again something I think the hosts can't do anything about. I've seen other reviews mention the smell in the bathroom: that's something I've gotten used to in Scandinavian houses. I don't know exactly what it is, but I've smelled that same smell in all but one of the properties I've stayed at in Denmark and Sweden. I think it's something to do with their plumbing. Again, not something you can blame on the hosts! A simple puff of air freshener helps quite a lot though. so I wouldn't make a problem of this.
