The Cottage in Nysted, on the south coast of Lolland in Denmark, runs day courses and meetings for up to 100 people, overnight conferences in its 16 guest rooms, and private parties such as weddings, birthdays and anniversaries. The hotel and restaurant stand on the edge of Nysted, a few minutes' walk from the shoreline.
Seminars and company events
The Cottage sells two meeting formats. The day meeting runs from 8:00 to 16:00. It includes a plenary room with standard audiovisual equipment, ice water and fresh fruit through the day, morning coffee or tea with homemade bread, cheese, sausage and jam, a lunch buffet, and afternoon coffee or tea with homemade cake. The conference overnight runs from 8:00 on the first day to 8:00 on the next. It keeps the same daytime program, without the fruit, and adds a two-course dinner, a night in a single or double room and a large breakfast buffet.
The official site states that day courses and meetings can host up to 100 people. It gives no limit for overnight conferences and describes the 16 rooms as suited to small, exclusive course groups. For a residential seminar, confirm the group size with the hotel before you plan the program.
Weddings and receptions
The site lists weddings, birthday parties, family reunions, hunting parties and anniversaries among the events the house hosts. The kitchen builds menus around the host's wishes. The hotel offers a party menu folder, a buffet proposal and a brunch or cold table proposal as downloads. Guests who book rooms in connection with a party receive a reduction on the stay; ask the hotel for the terms.
Rooms and capacities
The event spaces are a plenary room with standard audiovisual equipment and a lounge with a fireplace. The restaurant serves the parties and group meals. The site does not publish seated or standing capacities per room, apart from the figure of 100 for day courses.
Accommodation
The Cottage has 16 guest rooms, in single and double configurations. There is a playground for children, dogs are welcome and electric cars are welcome.
Catering
The kitchen is in house. Day meetings and conferences include fixed meal programs, and parties use menus the host assembles from the hotel's proposals. Groups arriving by bus can order lunch, dinner or a coffee table from set menus.
History and setting
The building is a half-timbered house that was the manager's residence of a girls' school in the English tradition in 1908. It keeps its English style. Rotating exhibitions show work by the local artist Heike Arndt, and her pieces are for sale.
The hotel lies on the edge of Nysted. From the shoreline, guests see Ålholm Castle and Nysted Harbour, and the old town has preserved houses along winding streets. Seal safaris leave from the harbor at set times of the year. Fuglsang Art Museum, Knuthenborg Safari Park, the Medieval Centre and the Maribo Lakes nature park are within driving distance. Five golf clubs lie within about 45 minutes by car.
Getting there
The address is Skansevej 19, 4880 Nysted. The site does not describe public transport, so ask the hotel for the best route for your group.
