The Twedter Holz Residence
This stunning cottage is close to the Danish border north of Lübeck, sleeps 2 adults and up to 4 kids and is chic, modern and filled with interesting art. Dating back over 100 years, it’s fresh and contemporary in terms of decor, with white walls and designer lighting. The cottage has a garden with swings and outdoor seating and is well located for trips to the beach and exploration of northern Germany and southern Denmark. We’d be the first to say that Flensburg is a little off the tourist map, but we know that this residence is a sensational place to stay and experience this delightful area like a local family, in exquisite surroundings.

Flensburg, Germany
The jewel of the north
Germany’s northernmost town is just a short hop from the border with Denmark and attracts the neighboring Danes for its shopping. It’s a pretty place, arranged around Flensburg Fjord with ferries, sailing regattas and cruises making the most of the water. Dad might enjoy a sip or two of the local Flensburg Pilsner - he might disappear for the afternoon for a tour of the brewery - while for kids there’s plenty to do around the water, including a shipyard museum and narrow pedestrianised cobbled streets to wander. Just out of town is the Renaissance era Glücksburg Castle, once the seat of Danish kings.
