Set among open fields just outside Eskilstrup on the island of Falster, Motel Højmølle Kro combines classic Danish roadside motel convenience with the cosy atmosphere of a traditional kro inn. Separate low-rise accommodation wings sit behind the main restaurant building, offering simple, clean rooms with easy parking right outside. It is an ideal stopover between Zealand and the ferry routes to Germany, with hearty local cooking, a relaxed rural setting and straightforward comfort rather than luxury.

Local tips

  • Book a dinner table in advance if you are arriving in the evening, especially in summer or on weekends, as the on-site restaurant is a key part of the experience.
  • If you are sensitive to road noise, request a room facing the fields at the back, which tend to feel quieter and offer more rural views.
  • Use the inn as a practical base for a half-day detour to nearby attractions on Falster and Lolland before continuing towards the ferry or Copenhagen.

Roadside retreat on rural Falster

Motel Højmølle Kro sits beside the main route across Falster, surrounded by flat farmland and big skies rather than city streets. The main whitewashed inn building faces the road, while the motel-style accommodation wings stretch back towards open fields, giving many rooms a view of crops, hedgerows and the occasional passing tractor. It feels very much like a classic Danish country stop: practical, unfussy and firmly rooted in its landscape. Despite the roadside address, the atmosphere is more village edge than highway service station. Step away from the traffic and you find lawns, a few garden seats and plenty of fresh air. The setting makes it a natural pause point on a longer journey, especially for travellers heading between Copenhagen and the ferry connections further south, or exploring Lolland-Falster’s quieter corners.

Traditional kro character with motel practicality

The heart of the property is the kro itself – the traditional Danish inn that gives the place its name. Inside the main building, you can expect a warm, slightly old-fashioned look: sturdy wooden furniture, simple décor and a focus on food and conviviality rather than design statements. It feels more like a countryside dining room than a city hotel lobby, and that is part of the charm. Behind this, the accommodation block follows classic motel logic. Rooms are grouped along corridors with direct access to the parking area outside, making it easy to roll suitcases in after a long drive. Interiors are straightforward and functional, typically with comfortable beds, a seating area, private bathroom and Wi‑Fi. Some fixtures feel a little dated here and there, but the emphasis is on cleanliness, space and a good night’s sleep before continuing your trip.

Dining built around hearty Danish flavors

For many guests, the highlight of a stay is the chance to eat in the restaurant after a day on the road. Expect Danish comfort dishes built around local produce, from meat and potatoes in generous portions to seasonal specials and traditional plates. The kitchen leans into flavourful, unfussy cooking, more about satisfaction than experimentation. In the evenings, the dining room and terrace can feel like a small crossroads of northern Europe, with Danish families, Scandinavian road-trippers and continental travellers all breaking their journeys over a hot meal. Local beers from regional breweries and a considered wine list add to the sense that this is an inn first and a motel second. Breakfast the next morning is typically a buffet of breads, cold cuts, cheese, fruit and eggs – exactly what you need before getting back on the road.

A convenient base for nearby attractions

While Motel Højmølle Kro is first and foremost a stopover, its location also works as a simple base for exploring Falster and neighbouring Lolland. Within a short drive you can reach small village churches, rural museums and family-friendly attractions such as animal parks and a well-known crocodile zoo. The surrounding countryside invites slow drives along minor roads, with detours to windswept coasts and quiet beaches. The inn itself offers easy parking and quick access to the highway, making day trips straightforward. Return at the end of the day to familiar surroundings, a hot shower and dinner downstairs rather than hunting for new restaurants each night. For travellers who value convenience over boutique style, that predictability is a significant part of the appeal.

Simple comforts and relaxed overnight rhythm

Life at the motel follows the natural rhythm of travel days. Afternoons are quiet as new arrivals filter in from the road and settle into their rooms. Early evening brings a little bustle as people make their way to the restaurant, then things wind down again once dinner is finished and lights start to go out across the accommodation wings. There is enough outdoor space for children to stretch their legs on the grass and for adults to take a short stroll after a meal, yet the overall feeling remains calm and low-key. It is a place where you can arrive late, sleep well and leave early, or linger a little longer over breakfast and a second cup of coffee while planning the next stage of your journey.
