Extraordinary experience. We booked the gourmet-stay with a night in the castle and the Michelin gourmet dinner. We had matching wine menu and started out adding a glass of Louis roederer batch 244 champagne to the snacks. The food was exceptional, well deserving of the star. The wine menu was very well matched to the dishes and the sommelier was very good at introducing the wines. What really also set this experience apart from other Michelin experiences I had this year, was their ability to serve flavourful and outstanding dishes while accommodating my allergy towards onion and garlic (Which meant I had to have special sauces etc). The experience lasted 6 hours, which was maybe a bit too long as we were quite full 4 hours in. This meant I couldn’t finish half of my wineglasses and the last 5 dishes of the experience. It seems most people was there for 5-6 hours, but I presume the special sauces for me required some extra time for the chefs which is very understandable. The location was beautiful in the countryside and I would definitely recommend to always book an overnight experience here. In addition you had the castle for yourself to roam around and use the facilities, consisting of game rooms, various couch areas, a bar and a museum. The breakfast in the stables was also great, but it was hard to get up early enough when we first finished dinner at 1 AM. So we chose the late breakfast and missed the museum guide. Overall - we absolutely LOVED it, and will definitely come again.

I recently had a terrible experience with Dragsholm, and I’m utterly disappointed. I booked a castle room which was my preference. However, due to a major error in their booking system—an error that was entirely their fault— a castle room was not available and I was stuck with an estate room only option. I made it explicitly clear from the start of my communication with Dragsholm customer service that I did not want the estate room. I was not alerted until more than a day later about the booking error with surrounding travel dates already planned. I understand errors happen but when one this large happens some sort of compensation should be offered as a true apology. To make matters worse, their so-called “customer service” was nothing more than a string of insincere apologies with no real effort to make up for the inconvenience they caused me. It’s shocking that a place with such a reputation would fail so miserably at resolving an issue they created. There was no compensation offered beyond the empty words of apology, which frankly just added insult to injury. I expected far better treatment and a genuine attempt to rectify the situation, but I got neither. Thanks to this experience, I am completely turned off from ever visiting Dragsholm again. If you’re considering staying here, beware—if anything goes wrong, you’ll be left high and dry, with no support and no recourse. Save your money and go somewhere that actually values its customers.

Opt for the gourmet stay, you won't be disappointed. ? Great service from check in and all the way until you leave. Beaches on walking distance, dog friendly overall! Perhaps a little too hot in the rooms, but hey it's 800 years old so you really don't mind that AC is missing. Late breakfast is just awesome as well.

Lunch at Madhuset and a stroll around the mansion and its gardens. Nearby areas and hilly landscapes are beautiful.

A very delicious lunch accompanied with an excellent wine. This in nice and calm surroundings. A perfect match
