Local tips
- Book a room with a terrace or patio if available; the private outdoor space overlooking the lawns is one of the hotel’s nicest features in spring and summer.
- Plan at least one dinner in the on-site restaurant to enjoy Nordic-inspired cooking and local island ingredients rather than eating out every night elsewhere.
- Use the in-room kitchenette for simple lunches or picnic prep; bring any favourite coffee, spices, or extra cookware if you plan to cook more elaborate meals.
- If you are sensitive to noise, ask for a room away from any event spaces during peak wedding and celebration periods on the island.
- Cycling suits Læsø’s flat terrain; arrange bike hire in advance in high season if you want to explore beaches and villages without relying on a car.

Island country hotel in a historic farmhouse setting
Hotel Nygaard sits along Østerbyvejen on Læsø, housed in a converted historic building that blends rural character with modern comforts. The low, whitewashed wings and red roofs frame a series of lawns and sheltered corners that give the place a classic Danish country-inn feel. You are on one of Denmark’s most tranquil islands, and the hotel leans into that mood with simple architecture, big skies, and the sound of wind in the trees rather than city traffic. Indoors, common areas are cosy rather than grand, with wood details and a relaxed lobby lounge where a fireplace often provides the evening focal point. It feels more like an old farm turned homestead than a formal resort, and that homey scale is part of the attraction for guests using the hotel as a base for exploring beaches, heathlands, and saltworks around the island.Spacious apartment-style rooms and private terraces
Accommodation at Hotel Nygaard is arranged in a series of wings that open directly to the gardens, so most rooms have easy access to outdoor space and fresh sea air. Layouts tend toward apartment-style: a bedroom paired with a small sitting area, efficiency kitchenette, and private bathroom, sometimes separated by a tiny hallway with storage and coat racks. This makes it a practical choice for longer stays or families wanting more space than a standard hotel room. Select rooms open onto a private terrace or patio furnished with a table and chairs, overlooking lawns with trees and the occasional hammock slung between trunks. Interiors follow a simple Scandinavian approach: light colours, functional furniture, and an emphasis on comfort rather than show. Basic kitchenettes typically include a small fridge, stovetop, kettle, and enough equipment for preparing simple meals, useful on an island where self-catering can be part of the rhythm of the day.Garden landscapes and quiet outdoor corners
The grounds are one of the hotel’s strongest assets. Lawns extend out from the main buildings, punctuated by mature trees that provide shade and attract birdlife. It feels more like a large country garden than a manicured park, with room for children to roam, adults to linger over a book, and couples to find a quiet bench. The landscape frames soft evening light beautifully, especially on clear summer nights when the sky glows late. Several outdoor seating clusters, including a terrace linked to the restaurant, let you eat or drink outside when the weather cooperates. Because Læsø is largely flat and open, the surroundings give a sense of being on the edge of farmland and heath rather than enclosed in a town. Even though Byrum is not far away, the hotel maintains a pleasantly secluded, rural feel.Nordic-inspired restaurant and convivial dining
Hotel Nygaard’s restaurant is a key part of the experience. The kitchen leans toward Nordic-inspired, seasonal cooking, often featuring local or regionally sourced produce from Læsø and the wider North Jutland area. Menus typically combine straightforward, comforting dishes with more refined plates suitable for multi-course dinners, making it as appropriate for an everyday meal as for a celebratory evening. The dining room combines rustic touches with simple Scandinavian design: wooden tables, soft lighting, and direct access to an outdoor terrace. Breakfast is generally served buffet-style, with a spread that can include cheeses, yogurts, fruit, eggs, and particularly memorable homemade bread and rolls. It is the kind of setup where guests linger over coffee while planning the day’s bike rides or beach walks.Weddings, gatherings, and flexible function spaces
Beyond regular hotel guests, Hotel Nygaard also functions as a gathering place for the island. The property includes flexible function rooms suitable for weddings, anniversaries, small conferences, and retreats. With the large gardens and rural backdrop, it is especially suited to summer celebrations that move between indoor dining and open-air toasts beneath the trees. Event menus often take advantage of the restaurant’s strengths, pairing composed courses with well-chosen wines. The scale of the property lends itself to medium-size groups, with the possibility of accommodating some of the party on site and additional guests at other lodgings around Læsø. Between events, these same spaces work well for workshops or corporate off-sites seeking a quiet, distraction-light environment.Laid-back island base for slow travel
As a base, Hotel Nygaard fits the rhythm of Læsø: unhurried, outdoorsy, and tuned to long days and early nights. Many guests explore the island by bicycle, taking advantage of the flat terrain and short distances between beaches, villages, and viewpoints. The hotel’s location near Byrum keeps you roughly central, so both Vesterø Havn and Østerby are within easy reach by bike or car. Even on days when you do not roam far, the property itself encourages slow travel habits: reading on the terrace, wandering the garden, or simply using the kitchenette to prepare a casual lunch between morning and afternoon outings. The overall experience is more country stay than polished city hotel, suited to travellers who value space, nature, and a sense of being gently removed from everyday routine.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
