It doesn't pretend to have the glamour of Falsled Kro or Hvedholm Slot, but Steensgaard is the best place in Funen that is evocative of a bygone manorial life. This brick-and-timber house is set in an area of scenic beauty with a private lake and nearly 10 hectares (25 acres) of lovely parkland with old trees and a game reserve, lying at the foot of the so-called "Funen Alps." About 6.5km (4 miles) northwest of Faaborg, the oldest section dates from 1310, possibly earlier. The midsize-to-spacious rooms are comfortably and tastefully furnished, often with antiques, and all units contain well-kept bathrooms. Even if you're just passing through for the day, consider a stopover here for either lunch or dinner, as you get atmosphere and good food at an affordable price. Dinner is served nightly 6:30 to 9:30pm. If you aren't a guest, you should reserve a table. You can also visit for lunch daily 12:30 to 2pm. Some of the best dishes include champagne soup, roe deer with juniper berries, and salmon en papillote with local herbs. Fresh from the sea, Danish lobster or baby shrimp are also featured.
