- Plan a relaxed hour for minigolf in the garden on calmer days, as wind and showers can make the course less enjoyable.
- Use Den Gamle Købmandsgård as your main provisioning stop if you are in a holiday house; the range of groceries is broad enough to cover most needs.
- In high season, consider visiting outside the mid‑afternoon peak if you want shorter queues at the ice‑cream counter.

Discover more about Den Gamle Købmandsgård
A historic merchant’s yard turned island hub
Den Gamle Købmandsgård takes its name from the traditional Danish merchant’s farm, and you can still feel that heritage in the low farm buildings and courtyard that frame the site. Set on Havnebyvej close to the harbour, it bridges old and new Rømø: outside, the rustic silhouettes of the buildings evoke the days when supplies arrived by ship and were traded over the counter; inside, shelves are lined with modern groceries that cater to both year‑round residents and the steady flow of holiday visitors. The heart of the complex is the supermarket, where you will find everything needed for a self‑catering stay on the island. Fresh produce, meat and fish, household essentials and local favourites sit side by side, making it an easy one‑stop shop if you are based in a holiday house or campsite. The atmosphere is relaxed and practical rather than polished, with the pleasure lying in the convenience and the feeling that this is a place woven into everyday island life.From bakery aromas to ice‑cream treats
One of the great draws is the in‑house bakery. Early in the day the scent of freshly baked bread and pastries drifts through the store, and it is common to see baskets filled with breakfast rolls and sweet treats heading out the door. For many visitors, picking up still‑warm bread becomes part of the daily rhythm of a Rømø stay, as much a ritual as the morning walk on the beach. Later in the day, attention shifts to the ice‑cream counter and simple snack offerings. Here you can order generous cones, sundaes or soft ice, along with hot dogs, cake, coffee and a cold beer on tap. The ice café has an informal seaside feel: families comparing flavours, cyclists pausing for sugar and caffeine, and beachgoers calling in for something quick before or after the sand and surf. It is a casual, come‑as‑you‑are space that feels tailored to holiday tempo.Garden minigolf and leisurely afternoons
Step outside and the experience changes again. Behind the buildings stretches a surprisingly large and sheltered garden, laid out with a minigolf course and open lawns. The course is designed to suit both children and adults, with a mix of straightforward and more playful holes that invite light‑hearted competition rather than serious sport. On calm days, the soundscape is a mix of quiet conversation, the clink of golf balls and the distant calls of seabirds from the Wadden Sea. The garden offers space simply to linger: benches and grassy spots encourage you to stretch out with an ice cream, give children a place to roam safely, or enjoy a pause between excursions around the island. In an area known for its big, wind‑swept beaches and wide horizons, this feels like a more intimate corner where you can slow down without leaving town.Seasonal rhythms and island practicality
While the supermarket and bakery operate all year, reflecting Rømø’s permanent community, the ice café and minigolf follow the island’s visitor season more closely and typically open from spring through late autumn. This rhythm gives the place a dual character: in winter it is a reliable lifeline for groceries in often bracing weather; in high season it transforms into a cheerful holiday node where sandy‑footed guests mingle with locals doing their regular shop. Long opening hours every day of the week make it especially practical if you are arriving late to your accommodation or planning early starts for day trips and beach outings. The location close to holiday homes, harbour activities and main roads across the island means it naturally becomes a reference point: an easy rendezvous spot, a last stop for supplies before exploring Lakolk Strand, or a convenient place to shelter on a breezy day with a hot drink and something sweet.Part of the wider Rømø experience
Den Gamle Købmandsgård is not an attraction in the classic sense, but it plays a quiet supporting role in many Rømø holidays. You might come first for simple reasons – milk, bread, an ice cream for the children – and find yourself returning because it anchors your time on the island. Its blend of practical shopping, relaxed café vibes and unfussy outdoor fun makes it an easy fit for families, couples and solo travellers who value convenience wrapped in a touch of local character. Used this way, it becomes more than just a shop: it is where beach days begin, picnics are provisioned, and end‑of‑day energy is spent on one more round of minigolf in the long northern light. In a destination defined by natural drama out on the shoreline, Den Gamle Købmandsgård offers a homely, human‑scale counterpoint that helps everyday moments on Rømø feel pleasantly grounded.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
