Local tips
- Book a room with balcony and sea view if possible; the changing light over Ebeltoft Vig at sunrise and sunset is one of Molskroen’s real luxuries.
- Reserve dinner at Molskroens Brasserie well in advance on weekends and summer evenings, especially if you plan to try a multi-course menu.
- Pack for coastal walks: a windproof layer is useful year-round, and comfortable footwear lets you explore nearby beaches and paths in Mols Bjerge.
- If you rely on public transport, check bus timetables ahead of time; evening and weekend services in the area can be less frequent.
- Consider combining your stay with time in Ebeltoft’s old town; visiting outside school holidays offers a quieter atmosphere in both town and hotel.

Seaside retreat on the edge of Mols Bjerge
Molskroen Strandhotel & Brasserie occupies a prime spot near Lyngsbæk Strand, where the shallow waters of Ebeltoft Vig meet the rolling hills of Mols Bjerge. The whitewashed buildings, red-tiled roofs and sheltered terraces feel every inch the classic Danish beach hotel, yet the atmosphere remains intimate rather than grand. A short stroll brings you to sandy shoreline, while behind the hotel low wooded hills hint at the protected landscapes that define this corner of Djursland. Inside, the mood is bright and relaxed. Natural light pours through large windows, and many rooms open directly toward the water or surrounding gardens. Even on blustery days, you are never far from sight of the bay, which frames the experience and sets a gentle maritime rhythm to any stay.Nordic flavors at Molskroens Brasserie
Dining is central to Molskroen’s character. Molskroens Brasserie carries forward a long-standing culinary tradition on this site, serving modern Nordic dishes rooted in French technique. Menus lean heavily on local produce: fish and shellfish from nearby waters, herbs and berries from the surrounding countryside, and seasonal vegetables sourced from regional farms. Expect carefully composed plates rather than rustic portions, with attention to texture and presentation. Lunch might feature delicately prepared fish and classic open sandwiches given a contemporary twist, while dinners range from à la carte choices to multi-course menus paired with wines. The dining rooms are elegant but not stiff, making it easy to linger over dessert as the light fades over the bay.Light-filled rooms with a coastal calm
Guest rooms at Molskroen Strandhotel are designed to feel airy, simple and comfortable. Many are decorated in a pared-back Scandinavian style, with light woods, soft textiles and a muted palette that mirrors sand, sea and sky. Several categories offer balconies or terraces, giving you a private vantage point over the water or gardens, and larger options work well for longer stays. Thoughtful details such as quality bedding, modern bathrooms and Wi‑Fi throughout support the sense of easy comfort. You are here to slow down: wake to soft coastal light, step outside for fresh air and return to a room that feels like a calm extension of the shoreline just beyond.Gateway to Ebeltoft and Mols Bjerge
Although the hotel feels tucked away, it serves as a convenient base for discovering both Ebeltoft and the wider Mols Bjerge area. The historic town, with its cobbled streets and half-timbered houses, lies a short drive or bus ride along the bay. Closer by, beaches invite swims in summer and reflective walks in the colder months, while inland trails thread into the hills, heathlands and viewpoints of the national park. Between excursions, outdoor seating areas and small garden corners provide quiet spots to read, sip coffee or simply watch the changing weather roll across the water. The setting encourages an unhurried rhythm, whether you are staying for a night or building a long weekend around coastal walks and long dinners.Historic inn tradition with modern comforts
Molskroen belongs to a long Danish kro tradition, where roadside inns historically offered food and lodging to travelers moving between towns. Over time, this particular address has developed a reputation for hospitality and gastronomy, evolving from simple stopover to destination in its own right. Today, that heritage is reflected in attentive service, polished interiors and the presence of both hotel and brasserie under the same roof. While the surroundings are relaxed and natural, facilities such as meeting spaces and terraces also make the property suitable for small gatherings and celebrations. In every season, the combination of coastal scenery, culinary focus and understated design gives Molskroen a distinctive place among Denmark’s seaside hotels, appealing equally to food-focused travelers and those simply seeking a tranquil escape.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
