The Property — Raakilde Bed & Breakfast, Fur
Raakilde B&B on Fur island is a calm, low-key farmhouse conversion with clean rooms, a communal breakfast room and views over the Limfjord. It suits cyclists, birdwatchers and anyone wanting quiet, no-fuss accommodation away from Skive town. Standing in the lobby you smell fresh coffee and hear nothing but wind and distant gulls.
Chronicles of Skive
Skive grew from a medieval market town on the Karup River, gaining its charter in 1326. The old core still has cobbled streets and half-timbered houses, but the harbour was redeveloped in the 1990s. Today Skive is known for its music festival and as a gateway to the glacial landscape of Fur and the Salling peninsula. Its identity is firmly provincial, unhurried and water-facing.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Raakilde Bed & Breakfast, Fur, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the upper floor (if available) facing the rear garden or inland side, away from the street. Fur is a small island, so rear-facing rooms offer more quiet and a view of the surrounding fields or heath.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms facing the front street (Skivevej or the main road through Fur) as road noise from local traffic and ferry-related vehicles can be audible, especially in summer.
Best views
The best view is likely from rear-facing upper rooms overlooking Fur's open landscape or the Limfjord in the distance. The B&B is in Skive municipality on Fur, away from dense town noise.
Quietest floors
Upper floor rooms (first floor or above, if the B&B has two levels) are quieter—less footfall noise from common areas downstairs.
🔊 Noise notes
Fur is a rural island; main noise sources are local traffic on the access road, ferry docking nearby (though not directly at the B&B), and seasonal holidaymakers. No lift noise to worry about—this is a 3-star B&B, likely a small converted farmhouse or villa with 1-2 floors.
Insider tips
1. If driving, ask about off-street parking—likely available since it's rural, but confirm it's a dedicated spot. 2. Request a room with a terrace or garden access if you want open-air space; the B&B's setting on Fur means you can easily walk to the coast or cycle.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
