Food & Accommodation

Food

Helle, your host, is a fantastic cook and aims to use local produce from both land and sea in her menus. These include hearty dishes such as plaice, Gammeldag's cucumber salad, hot oysters with herb butter, samphire pesto and herb butter, hot oysters with gorgonzola and bacon, potato gratins, chicken fricassee and fish soup à la Havneby Kro.
Be prepared for some tasty flavours and combinations that are new to you but equally delicious on this culinary voyage of discovery. Chef Helle is not only a trained cook but also a pastry chef. Her cakes, tarts, strudels and muffins are a dream!

Accommodation

Comfortable, modern rooms in Helle's newly acquired guesthouse with the horses living right outside your window. There are 6 double/twin guestrooms, some with private bathrooms, and 2 single rooms with shared bathrooms. A cosy living area to relax in and beautiful views of the surrounding countryside make this the perfect place to rest your head after a day tölting along the beach.

Itineraries

Mando - Romo Combination Ride Standard accommodation.

Other Activities

All the tours are also available for non-riding partners because the island offers great cycling paths.
With an e-bike, you can enjoy a relaxed ride while the riding group goes on their excursion. Land sailing is also a popular activity and a great way for non-riding friends and family to enjoy the endless beaches.

Travel

Billund (BBL) is the nearest airport and Romo is approximately 1.5hrs drive south. Taxi transfers can be arranged from £270 per car each way. The roads are good, so hiring a car at the airport and self-driving is also a good option. There is free car parking onsite at the accommodation.
There are also direct trains from Copenhagen Airport to Rodekro Train Station (journey time is about 3hrs) .
