Chimes Spa Retreat, Denmark

I had booked a 2-night stay at this up-market retreat in Denmark. After checking in, we began to make the most of the facilities. Val filled up the spa bath and had a long soak, whilst I went for a massage. I hadn’t had one for years and was pleasantly surprised how good I felt afterwards. Then it was time for port and nibbles in front of the log fire. This was very welcome as it was a freezing cold day with a cold wind coming in from the sea. We soon discovered that all the restaurants in the area were closed in the evening, apart from at the weekends (a staffing issue, we were told), so I had to produce some food from my emergency stash. We enjoyed miso soup, avocado, cheese and biscuits and a glass of red: we didn’t starve!

Our room with a small balcony is 2nd from the left.
The dining room for breakfast is on the right.

Next morning we went for a walk from the town centre to the caravan park at the river mouth, where we had both stayed in the past. There was a new cafe there, so we ordered a plate of F and C.  The local King George Whiting was delicious!

The wildflowers on the riverside walk were still blooming, even though it’s now late in the season.









Two pelicans amused us near the bridge:



Gum nuts galore:
