Gl. Skovridergaard, BW Premier Collection

This is an excellent hotel with first class customer service. Its located on the edge of town which is a short walk away. It sits in its own mature manicured grounds with ample car parking. The hotel has recently had a bar installed in the reception lobby/lounge which adds to the already ambient facilities. The rooms are well proportioned and appointed, clean and comfortable. Breakfast is a continental style buffet which is well prepared, presented and wholesome. A great place to stay if visiting the area, my preferred hotel in Silkeborg. less

This is a modern hotel set within an old country house/mansion which was at one time a sanatorium. Our room was comfortable - with a very comfy large bed. There was also a small balcony, large enough to sit out on, with garden seats provided. The wildlife and sculptures gave plenty to look at. We did wonder at the fly swat hanging on the back of the door, but given the proximity to the woods and lakes, no doubt there can be a need for it. Only one wasp ventured into our room and soon found its way out again. The hotel is situated close to the main road (Route 52) on the edge of Silkeborg, so you either need to use the (free) bikes, have a car or use the bus to get anywhere. Silkeborg itself has a picturesque centre on a large (long) lake and the town is well-positioned for days out by car to Aarhus, the west coast, the north of Jutland and of course the real Legoland. Breakfast buffet was excellent with a wide choice of fruit, imaginative home-made bread, cold meat, cheese, cereals, yoghurts, eggs, bacon and pancakes. We were slightly disappointed there was not more choice of food available in the evenings, although the quality of the sandwiches in the lounge and the very upmarket food in the restaurant was all excellent. All-in-all, wish we could have stayed longer. less

We stayed one night in a junior suite an really enjoyed the thorugh selection of Danish interior, whether furniture, TV, downs or lamps. Also, the suite was practical and spacious with a balcony facing the beautiful park. Breakfast was abundant and delicious and service was kind. We borrowed bikes and went to a nearly lake 5-10 mins away to swim - an option flashed upon arrival when we saw towels at the entrance for that exact purpose. The receptionist was not very knowledgable about the immediate surroundings so we had to figure things out ourselves although he kindly handed us a map. A lovely place to chill off and calm down. less

It is a very cosy and traditional looking hotel. The room was well maintained and clean, and has all the amenities such as iron, hair dryer, a kettle with coffee and tea. The breakfast buffet was also good! less

This hotel has small, comfortable rooms with good wifi and breakfast. Good value for money and recommended for short stays. Therestaurant has a very short menu. People with access to a car should probably rather dine out. less
