Cosy fjordside country inn on South Zealand, blending classic Danish kro charm, water‑view rooms and traditional cooking in a peaceful rural setting.
Fjordkroen is a cosy, family-run inn and restaurant overlooking Præstø Fjord on South Zealand. Set at the end of a quiet country lane in Tappernøje, it combines classic Danish country-kro charm with a 4-star hotel standard and a well-regarded kitchen.

Local tips
- Book a fjord‑facing room or a room in the garden wing with terrace if views and outdoor space are a priority.
- Reserve a dinner table in advance, especially on weekends and in summer, as the restaurant also draws non‑resident diners.
- Pack layers and a windproof jacket; even on sunny days the breeze off Præstø Fjord can feel cool in the garden and on terraces.
- Plan at least one slow morning to linger over breakfast and make the most of the fjord views from the dining room.
- Bring binoculars or a camera if you enjoy birdlife and wide, open landscapes; the fjord often rewards patient watching.

Discover more about Fjordkroen
Country inn at the edge of Præstø Fjord
Fjordkroen sits at the end of a rural lane outside Tappernøje, where fields fall away towards the calm waters of Præstø Fjord. From the road it appears as a classic Danish kro, low and welcoming, with gables, a neat forecourt and a hint of the fjord glittering beyond. Inside, the mood is intimate and homely rather than grand, with soft lighting, traditional furnishings and the gentle hum of conversation from the restaurant. The building functions both as a 4‑star hotel and as a local dining destination, so the rhythm of the place shifts through the day. Mornings are quiet, with guests lingering over breakfast and the view. By late afternoon, the restaurant comes into focus as locals and overnight visitors arrive for dinner with a view of the water.Rooms with big skies and water views
With only around 15 rooms, Fjordkroen feels compact and personable. Rooms are spread between the main house and a small wing facing the garden, where terraces open straight onto the lawn. Many rooms have direct fjord views, so you wake to an ever‑changing horizon of light, clouds and sea birds. The style is more classic than cutting‑edge: expect comfortable beds, soft carpets or wooden floors, and simple Scandinavian touches rather than designer statement pieces. Practical comforts such as Wi‑Fi, TV and en‑suite bathrooms come as standard, while minibars and small seating areas make the larger rooms suitable for slow mornings and rainy days indoors.Traditional Danish cooking by the water
The heart of Fjordkroen is its restaurant, which leans into Danish kro traditions: generous plates, seasonal produce and a focus on flavour over fuss. The menu often features fish and shellfish, classic meat dishes with rich sauces, and desserts that err on the comforting side. In the colder months, the dining room feels like a shelter from the wind off the fjord; in summer, large windows and any outdoor seating draw the landscape firmly into the experience. This is the kind of place where long, unhurried meals are encouraged. Diners might start with a glass in the lounge or bar area, move through several courses, and end with coffee while the last light drains from the sky over the water.Garden, fjord light and a slow pace
Outside, a lawned garden stretches towards the fjord, edged with hedges and dotted with simple outdoor furniture. On bright days, this becomes an extra living room: a space for reading, talking or simply watching the play of light on the water. The stillness is one of Fjordkroen’s quiet luxuries. You are close to Præstø town and other Zealand sights, yet the atmosphere remains that of a small countryside retreat. Birdlife is a constant companion; you may spot waders along the shore, hear geese overhead or watch swans drifting in the shallows. Sunsets can be particularly striking, turning the fjord surface pink and gold while the garden falls into silhouette.A base for exploring South Zealand
Although Fjordkroen feels tucked away, it works well as a base for discovering South Zealand. Nearby Præstø offers cobbled streets, historic houses and harbour life, while manor houses, small castles and coastal walks lie within easy reach. After a day of exploring, returning to a familiar dining room and a room with a fjord view gives the stay a gentle, self‑contained feel. Whether you use Fjordkroen as a one‑night stop on a longer road trip or as a two‑ or three‑night countryside escape, the combination of water views, classic Danish cooking and an unhurried rhythm is its main draw.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
