While it has 33 rooms- know that the front desk staff may also be serving you your dinner, renting you a bike or even making you a drink as they do everything with a small staff here. The room I had was a double and faced the patio out front. No air conditioning but the windows open to let in the sea breezes and you may be able together a small fan from the front desk if they have any available. The beds are comfortable , Internet is free, and there was even a couch and sitting area along with a desk in the room I had. A delicious breakfast is also included in your rate with eggs and bacon, breads, meats and cheeses, fresh fruit and individual coffee pots you can take to your table. The bathroom while small, had good water pressure but be careful of the step. The tile looks flat but there was a step down to the shower that fooled me every time!! On one of the nights I was there - the owner and her mother cooked a beautiful pork roast dinner for our group of 18 complete with salad, glazed potatoes, and a kind of "fruit soup" for dessert served with heavy cream that was out of this world!. You can rent bikes for the day from the front desk which is a great way to see AEros. Just find the bike out front that you want, look for the number on it and ask for the key at the desk. The cost is about 150 dk per day. I loved that they have a patio out front where you can sit and have drinks, or even take your breakfast outside. And the location is just up from the ferry landing and close to the grocery store and most if the restaurants on the island. And if you want to rent a private cottage for your family- they have a number of those available as well. A great choice is you find yourself on AEros island!!

The included breakfast buffet was not huge, but was well through out, with above average food and homemade jams and relishes. Everything feels carefully curated here, and this suites are tasteful and comfortable. The staff was helpful, cheerful and professional, and the owner was almost always available.

The island of Ærø can only be reached via ferry service, offered by Ærøfærgerne. There are three…read morelines, this one running to the Ærø town of Ærøskøbing, and two others connecting to the town of Søby. The Ærøfærgerne to Ærøskøbing departs from Svendborg harbor (within a 10 minute walk from the train station or bus depot), almost every hour from very early morning to evening, with times varying based on season. The boats seem to be fairly timely, and take about 45 minutes to reach Ærøskøbing, dropping off very close to the commercial town center. These ferries carry vehicular traffic on a lower level, with marked lanes to line up for entry through the aft, when the ferry docks. Pedestrians can proceed directly to a loading ramp on the side, taking either stairs or a lift to the midlevel indoor deck. Most seats are in the fore and aft, some on the sides; lots are with fixed tables, others are comfortable fixed seats akin to those on trains or airplanes (or similar ferries). A prepared meal and snack area is located centrally, near restrooms. The sundeck is another flight of stairs up and a great way to see the view while outdoors. This deck is filled with fixed wooden short benches and tables. It's quite a nice place to enjoy the ride but can be very windy, at least until closer to Ærø. Tickets for the ferry can be purchased ahead of time, including from their app. It's probably better for vehicles to do it but for pedestrians, a ticket agent comes around during the ride so a purchase can be made then. Anyone who wants to visit Ærø is going to have to take one of their ferries, but it's a perfectly fine experience and reliable.
