Jammerbugten translates as "misery bay", but it's anything but – in fact, this marvellous region is one of the most popular holiday destinations in Denmark. This home is just a stone's throw away from the water's edge and is the perfect place to call home while you explore this fantastic area.

Built in 2021, it's a sleek twist on the traditional Scandinavian wood cabins that have provided an escape from everyday life for centuries. The decor is quintessentially Nordic, with a tranquil feel and chic, neutral colour palette. On winter evenings, you can curl up beside the wood-burning stove with a glass of wine and a good book. And, during the warmer months, you'll love relaxing on the terrace while the kids play in the garden, before slipping into the hot tub for a long alfresco soak.

Nørlev Strand, just a five-minute walk away, is the country's widest sandy beach. Pack up a picnic and head down to paddle in the waves and stroll along the shoreline. Thy National Park is just a twenty-five-minute drive today, where you can explore the beautiful forest and coastal scenery on foot or by bike. And, if you head in the other direction to Skagen, you can see where the North and Baltic Seas meet – it's an hour away by car.

Home truths:
*If you need to work remotely, you can use your laptop at the dining table
*You will probably want a car to explore the area – there is space to park at the house
