It is maybe a bit generous giving Hotel Vinhuset a 4 rating, maybe a 3.5 would be more suitable. The building has been operated as a hotel since 1778, and has an interesting history dating back to the 16th century. This hotel has a lot of potential. It is ideally situated in Sct Peders Kirkeplads, surrounded by many other old historic buildings. There are many positive features about this establishment. The location for one, it is not far from the town centre and various local attractions. There is a welcoming dining area from which we were able to choose from a well prepared, varied menu, (typical, delicious Danish fare). The interior is a bit less than what you would expect, it is a Heritage Building. There is a beautiful winding staircase, unfortunately, it is needing a bit of TLC. We stayed on the first floor, here we were greeted by the large painting of ”The Woman”, a bit of an eyepopper. The painting doesn’t match or enhance the surroundings; however, I would say with a smile, please keep it! The staff we had contact with, were also an asset. We would like to pass on our thanks to Gabriella, all the best! There was free parking available, some convenient, some not so. The wifi was free and worked well. The hotel has its charm, we would stay again, but we would only hope that the owners would spruce things up, do justice to this old building. As alluded to, the building inside is getting a bit tired looking and the outside needs a bit of work. (Do note however, things were clean and tidy). The window ledge outside our room was rotting away, and the window itself needed to be ”modernized”. Our room itself was clean and comfortable, the bathroom clean and adequate. That being said, the room, however, was quite dated, the plaster on the walls needed a few repairs, and a new, more modern paint job. The large Lord of the Rings framed poster over the bed also seemed ”out of place”. This is all meant to be constructive criticism, as is noted, the property has a lot of potential. I guess maybe the improvements might raise the cost of staying here, or maybe not. As it was, the rates were not low, but perhaps reasonable when you factor in the delicious breakfast that was included. One last suggestion might also include the installation of a lift, a small one even. One thing that cannot be improved upon however, is the location, Naestved itself and the surrounding area. This is the lovely Danish countryside where my Dad and his family grew up and some are still living. You can visit some of Denmark's old churches, Sct Peders Kirke, located steps away from the Vinhuset, is Naestved's largest church, scarcely altered since 1375. A short distance away is Sct Mortens, dating back to ca. 1280. You can visit Herlufsholm, the site of another old church, and a private boarding school dating back to 1565. A short drive out of town is the estate, Gisselfeld. Here you can tour the beautiful gardens and partake in some local history. If you want a bit of beach
Excellent
