If you were given a quest, what would you rather see as directions to your location.


Option 1

Frostmere Crypt, a Nordic ruin located south-southwest of Dawnstar, on the hold border. I can reach it by taking the main road from Morthal east until I cross the border into The Pale. Just passed the border is a small trail that leads east up to the ruin


Option 2

Frostmere Crypt, a Nordic ruin located south-southwest of Dawnstar, on the hold border.



More detail? Or more vague?

If you could get something inbetween, like "Frostmere Crypt, a Nordic ruin South-southwest of Dawnstar. I can reach it from a path that branches off the main road at the hold border."

More detail with no location marker would be my preference. I like both your first example and Deostades example.

There will be no location marker at all, so the only info given will be the one in the quest journal.

I will probably put a little more detail for simple bandit camps and such, but for dragon lairs and ancient locations, leave them a little vague.
