Right on your doorstep
Dansk Cottage is located in Skovby, about 4 km from Søby – a small, charming harbour village in the north of Ærø, surrounded by nature and Danish calm.
Søby is the northernmost town on Ærø and the landing point for the ferry from Fynshav. The little harbour with boats, fishing spots and views of the Danish South Sea invites you to linger.
There is even more to discover right on your doorstep – from the ferry connection to the Danish mainland to nature and history in the north of the island:
The ferry from Søby to Fynshav on Als is the fastest connection between Ærø and the Danish mainland. You will find timetables, prices and reservations directly at the ferry company.
Timetable & bookingAt the north-western tip of Ærø, just a few minutes from Søby, stands the Skjoldnæs lighthouse – a lovely excursion destination with wide views over the Danish South Sea.
Discover the lighthouseIn a historic manor house nearby, Søbygaard offers seasonal activities and experiences for the whole family – a worthwhile short excursion from Dansk Cottage.
Discover SøbygaardJust a few minutes from Søby lies Vitsø, a 150-hectare nature area with a lake, salt meadows and three protected bird islands. A lovely walking path leads all the way around the lake – ideal for birdwatching and quiet moments in nature.
