Charming old dairy for parties and holidays

The Old Dairy in Gjerrild is a beautiful house that has many options, and it is the setting for cosy get-togethers and a base for many ex­pe­ri­en­ces. The per­so­na­li­sed dairy has a banquet hall and four charming holiday apart­ments.

In many of Denmark’s smaller towns, there used to be a number of buildings with central functions for the local area. For example, the station building, the inn, the hotel, the corner shop and even the dairy. Today, the same functions are un­ne­ces­sary, but the buildings have been preserved and used for other purposes. The Old Dairy in Gjerrild is an excellent example of this.

As early as 1966, dairy pro­duction in Gjerrild ceased due to cen­tra­li­sa­tion in the dairy industry, which in turn meant that the beautiful classic buildings were released for other purposes. For example, like here, as elegant holiday apart­ments.

Colourful holiday setting for families

Since 1977, the Chri­sten­sen family has owned the dairy, making The Old Dairy a cosy and charming setting for guests’ parties and holidays. For ho­li­day­ma­kers, it’s all about the four smoke-free holiday apart­ments with colourful names: The Orange Suite and the Red Suite on the ground floor and the Green and Purple Suites on the first floor of the elegant dairy building.

The apart­ments are designed and sized to be ideal for families on holiday in Gjerrild, Grenå and the sur­ro­un­ding area. They are designed for two adults and two children, and each of the four apart­ments has a private bathroom and a kit­che­net­te (without an oven).

The interior design of the four apart­ments is humorous, personal and at­mosp­he­ric, making good use of the dairy building’s many unique nooks and crannies. Eve­ryt­hing is kept in the four colour themes that are reflected in the apartment names. The result is four holiday apart­ments that are unlike most holiday apart­ments.

There are also several shared fa­ci­li­ties for families, including a large terrace with a fountain and the garden in front of the dairy, where you can spend some lovely hours. There is table tennis and various board games on the first floor for the com­pe­ti­ti­ve types. There is free parking and charging fa­ci­li­ties for electric cars.

The area invites you to ex­pe­ri­en­ces and acti­vi­ties

Located near Grenå and on Denmark’s “nose”, the scenic area offers a wide range of ex­pe­ri­en­ces and acti­vi­ties. The village of Gjerrild is sur­ro­un­ded by forest and beach, so there are many op­portu­ni­ties for hiking and cycling in the area, which is one of Denmark’s beautiful green corners. It is only two ki­lo­metres to a fine pebble and fishing beach for those in­te­r­e­sted in fishing, where there are plenty of chances to cast a hook and line in the water. Gjerrild Nord­s­trand is a good swimming beach, only four ki­lo­metres away. One of the area’s beautiful nature ex­pe­ri­en­ces is Gjerrild Klint, which is only two ki­lo­metres from The Old Dairy. In other words, there are many op­portu­ni­ties to combine ex­pe­ri­en­ces and acti­vi­ties. Foodies can visit both Gjerrild Inn and Sostrup Castle for local culinary ex­pe­ri­en­ces.

At the same time, guests are only a short distance from many at­tra­ctions that welcome them, which range from the Kattegat Centre and Ree Park to the Danish Agri­cul­tu­ral Museum, the Frigate Jylland, the entire Mols Bjerge and many other at­tra­ctions.

At­mosp­he­ric dairy hall is The Old Dairy’s banquet­ing hall

There is an intimate and cosy at­mosp­he­re in the dairy’s main hall, which seats 70 guests.

The gallery can seat 54 people, and the down­stairs can seat 16.

It can be for birthdays, weddings, re­cep­tions, family ce­le­bra­tions and many other festive occasions where a cosy setting is needed.

There is a bar in the hall with a fridge and kit­che­net­te with a fridge, dis­hwas­her, four-burner hob, oven, and various pots and pans.

It is possible to order food for a party from the nearby Gjerrild Inn.

The hall is heated either via gas or wood-burning stoves. You bring your own gas/firewood or buy it from the landlord.
