Bindslev suits groups of around six wanting a Vendsyssel base in the far north of Jutland, with a sauna and a fireplace in the home. Hjørring is about 23 minutes away by road, and Hirtshals has ferries to Norway.
Bindslev is a small town of just under a thousand people in Vendsyssel, in North Jutland, within Hjørring Municipality. It is a base for the north rather than a resort in its own right, so check each listing's map for the distance to the sea. Our homes sit close together, mostly sleeping about six, and most have a fireplace while many have a sauna and few a private pool. Hirtshals, on the Skagerrak, has the Nordsøen Oceanarium and ferries to Norway. On the east coast of Vendsyssel, Sæby has a harbour and a beach. For restaurants and shops you drive, and Hjørring is about 23 minutes away.
About 23 minutes by road, or around 35 minutes on bus line 82, for shops and restaurants.
A seaport on the Skagerrak with ferries to Norway, a lighthouse and the Nordsøen Oceanarium.
One of the largest aquariums in Europe, with a tank holding 4.5 million litres and about 70 species.
A town and seaport on the east coast of Vendsyssel, with a harbour, a beach and the Renaissance Sæbygaard manor.
Aalborg Airport has Norwegian flights from London Gatwick all year and is the practical airport for northern Vendsyssel. A car is the sensible way to cover the area, though bus line 82 links Bindslev with Hjørring in about 35 minutes.
Beach weather means summer, and Sæby's beach and harbour on the east coast are the obvious warm-weather stops. Saunas and fireplaces in the homes make a cooler-season stay practical, with the Hirtshals oceanarium and lighthouse as other outings. Check opening times for attractions before an off-season visit.
Check the map. Bindslev is a small town in Vendsyssel within Hjørring Municipality, and homes vary in their distance from the sea. Hirtshals on the Skagerrak and Sæby on Vendsyssel's east coast are the coastal towns to aim for.
About 23 minutes by car for roughly 12 miles. Bus line 82 also runs the route and takes about 35 minutes, which works if one of your group wants a day without the car.
Yes, from Hirtshals. Ferries sail to Kristiansand and Larvik, and other lines serve further Norwegian ports, so the port works for a Norway add-on. Check which routes run on your dates.
The Nordsøen Oceanarium in Hirtshals, Hirtshals Lighthouse, and Sæby's harbour and beach are the main draws. The oceanarium is among the largest aquariums in Europe, with about 70 species.
Many do, and most have a fireplace. A private pool is uncommon. Homes mostly sleep about six, with ten the largest, so it suits families and small groups.
