Do you need to bring bed linen and do the cleaning in a Danish summer house?
Pack linen or order it in advance.
Short answer
Danish holiday homes come with kitchen equipment, crockery, pillows and duvets, but guests normally bring or borrow their own bed linen. With Novasol you can buy a linen kit with duvet cover, pillowcase, sheet, 2 towels and a tea towel, ordered at least 5 days before arrival, or bring your own. Final cleaning may be included or paid separately, and some houses let you do it yourself. With Sol og Strand you must leave the house clean, or any cleaning needed is charged to you.
Why
- Duvets and pillows are part of the equipment, linen usually is not.
- Final cleaning is either in the price or a paid extra.
- Rules differ between agencies and between houses.
Details
With Sol og Strand you may not hand your cleaning duty over to a third party; you book final cleaning through the agency.
Tip
If you drive to Denmark, pack your own linen and towels; if you fly, order a linen kit when you book.
What may differ
Prices for linen kits and final cleaning are set per house and appear when you book.
Common misconception
Danish summer houses are made up like hotel rooms when you arrive.
What actually happens
Beds have duvets and pillows, but linen and towels are usually your own unless you order them.
