Kolind – Gistiheimili

Jessica Bretland

Set in the very lovely quiet area of Kolind, it is within a ten minute drive to the Aarhus Airport which, to our surprise, was incredibly quiet as well. Jane, the host, couldn't be any more welcoming if she tried. She was truly a high spirited host who very kindly offered us a drink when we arrived around 10pm on the evening we were checking in. [25th May] This is very much a basic but suitable bed and breakfast for short stays, due to there being no facilities in the room for coffee, but we had such a wonderful nights rest with a feather pillow and duvet, in a warm room, with a shared bathroom. Our flight was at 7am, well before breakfast unfortunately, but Jane's hosting really made up for the things this place did not have. Smoking is not allowed inside but directly outside the front door there is a bench and an ashtray, and being in such a quiet area I felt safe and comfortable. We do plan to come back to Kolind again and stop, but would likely see about bringing travel mugs and a portable travel kettle. Do not let the little things get in the way though, because the area is so quiet and peaceful, although Jane explained some shops are struggling due to the cost of living crisis and the pandemic did no favours to the scenic town at all. I'd say this is an ideal location for lone travellers, or couples etc. I was here with my mom, and our two friends were booked into the room next door. You have sufficient access to a tram into Aarhus, it's a short trip to the airport and is definitely value for money whether you have breakfast or not.

The house was amazing -- in a historic building, but with all the modern amenities. Beautiful view of the water and the Mols Bjergen national park. The host, Amalie, went above and beyond -- she stayed up late to welcome us when our flight was delayed and she helped us find bicycles to explore the park. Absolute gem!
