Landfolk has more than 5,000 handpicked holiday homes across Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Germany. The homes are personal, offer access to nature, have quality solutions and a passionate host who loves good hospitality.

Live in the middle of nature with rolling hills, heathland and dense pine forests. Take in the history of the thatched half-timbered houses nestling against each other on the large plot. Relax in the barrel sauna overlooking the bonfire outside as darkness descends over the hills Inside, the houses have been renovated in modern style with everything you need for a lovely holiday. Curl up on the sofa with a hot cup of coffee and spend a slow afternoon with a good book under the exposed beams, occasionally raising your gaze to the green bounty outside. Or soak in the hot water of the bath, your body aching after a day in the great outdoors. In the studio you can enjoy the special atmosphere under the vaulted ceilings, which bear witness to the history and culture of the place. The cottages are located in the rich nature of Hammer Bakkers, surrounded by wildlife, hiking trails and high skies. Go in search of burial mounds and old forest dykes, or take a trip to Pebermosen. You can also climb Tinghøj, the highest point on the hills. If you spend your time at the house, soak up the sun on the south-facing terrace and round off the day in the barrel sauna or by the fireplace before retiring under the thatched roof.

In Scotland she met her future husband, Jens Arne Villadsen, who brought her to Denmark. Although they settled in Aalborg, where Sheena set up a studio, they were married in the charming church in Hammer Bakker - unaware of how much the area would influence Sheena's artistic work. ...
