Hørby Færgekro – Country Inn Stay with Fjord Views

Hørby Færgekro – Seaside Hotel Charm by Holbæk Fjord

Unplug, enjoy the view of the shimmering fjord waters, and feel the calm settle in. Whether you're visiting for dinner, a weekend stay, or a special event, you'll be welcomed with warmth, attentiveness, and an atmosphere that invites relaxation. It's the unique blend of history, gastronomy, nature, and heartfelt hospitality that makes Hørby Færgekro truly special – and a place you’ll long to return to.

The inn’s history dates back more than 800 years, and throughout the centuries, it has been a natural gathering point for travelers, sailors, and locals. In 2021, the Fogtmann family took over and began an extensive renovation, giving both the hotel and restaurant a bright, stylish look while honoring the soul and history of the place. The result is a modern inn with heart, charm, and one of Denmark’s most beautiful views of the fjord.

Stay in bright and inviting surroundings

At Hørby Færgekro, you’ll enjoy a good night’s sleep in peaceful, light-filled surroundings with charming Danish coziness. The hotel offers 20 rooms, all decorated in a classic seaside hotel style with modern comforts. The colors are soft, the materials natural, and the details reflect the inn’s long history. All rooms feature comfortable double beds, private bathrooms with showers, and bathrobes for your walk to the bathing jetty. For those seeking a touch of luxury, the inn offers several suites with private terraces and panoramic views of the fjord. Enjoy a glass of wine as the evening sun reflects on the water, and wake up to the sound of waves and a view of the fjord. In the morning, a delicious breakfast buffet awaits, included in your stay. You’ll find freshly baked bread, local delicacies, fruit, yogurt, and more – all served in the same bright, friendly atmosphere that defines the entire place.

A restaurant with views and warmth

At Hørby Færgekro’s restaurant, great flavors and personal service take center stage. Classic Danish dishes meet modern taste profiles, prepared with love for the ingredients and a focus on the personal experience. Each month, a seasonal 3-course menu is offered – from crisp spring vegetables and fresh summer fish to the rich flavors of autumn and warming winter dishes. You can enjoy your meal in the restaurant, where large windows open up to the fjord, creating a calm, almost poetic ambiance. When the weather is at its best, our south-facing terrace right by the water is the perfect spot for your meal or a coffee and cake. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and whether you stop by for lunch, a romantic dinner, or a festive evening with friends, you’ll be greeted with smiles and genuine Danish hospitality. An evening at Hørby Færgekro is a treat for both the eyes and the palate, where view, mood, and flavor blend into a harmonious experience. Tip: Remember to book a table – especially on weekends and sunny days when the terrace fills up quickly.

A place for peace, presence, and experiences

Hørby Færgekro is more than just a place to eat and sleep – it’s a space to breathe deeply and let time slow down. The fjord invites you to peaceful morning walks, refreshing dips, or quiet moments on the pier with a cup of coffee in hand. The inn is ideally located for both relaxation and exploration. Within minutes, you can drive to Holbæk town, where cafés, shopping, and cultural offerings await.
