Voderup 41; cottage Dkr750-1250; May-Sep)
A young family runs this sustainable farm (raising grass-fed cattle) in a lush, view-blessed
area where cows and chickens roam. Two atmospheric, family-friendly self-contained cot-
tages are available here, sleeping up to six. One is in the stylishly converted old stables,
and one is in a magnificent 'greenhouse', of sorts (part of which spies on the cowshed in-
terior).
These are unique, creative and restful options where the appeal of rural escape becomes
crystal clear - in peak of summer, the rental period is generally one week. Vesteraas is in
Voderup, signposted off the main road from the hamlet Vindeballe - it's about 8km
southwest of Ærøskøbing.

Get an authentically salty-dog feel at this traditional fish smokehouse, adjacent to the har-
bour. It serves bargain-priced smoked-fish plates (the halibut with potato salad is deli-
cious) or fish-stuffed sandwiches. Wash it down with a plastic cup full of locally brewed
beer.
