5 Star Holiday Home in Soby Aero

Head for the Flesborg Fjord, and at the water’s edge you’ll find this early-20th-century villa boasting a cosy bar, parquet floors and light wood furnishings. After almost a decade working at Henne Kirkeby Kro, British-born Paul Proffitt set upon his own in this most idyllic spot on the opposite side of south Jutland; book a space in the glass-cubed ‘Doris’ to watch him up close. Modern cuisine marries local produce and a little playful childhood nostalgia, in dishes such as dripping served with a buttery brioche, aged dairy cow tartare or a surf 'n' turf of sirloin with oyster cream.

This charming whitewashed, thatched inn will draw you in with its enticing fireplace and lovely conservatory dining room overlooking the garden. The kitchen takes its cue from the French gastronomy of old, producing rich and indulgent dishes based on quality produce, be it rabbit or langoustine. Many of the ingredients are local, with fruit and vegetables often coming from the estate itself. Watch the chefs in the open kitchen to feel closer to the action.
