Lyng Dal Hotel og Restaurant — Restaurant in Skanderborg Municipality

We were on a European and Scandinavian driving tour and wanted somewhere to relax for a couple of days before meeting up with friends in Aarhus and found family-run Lyng Dal nearby. This isn't just a superb restaurant and comfortable hotel it can also be a relaxing retreat. The garden has a beehive, small vegetable plots and views of & access to the heather-covered hills beyond. The hills are safely fenced so you can either walk up to get the spectacular views over the lake or just go onto the hills and amble and maybe see the 6 friendly horses grazing there. (Ry itself is a nice little town with a community co-op (we met one of it's committee dining at the Lyng Dal) and there's also a birds of prey & bison museum and other sights nearby.) Our room was on the ground level (there are some one floor up) so we had a private terrace with table and chairs overlooking the gardens and hills. Dinner was from a limited menu so that wines were matched to courses (or choose your own wine, of course). The service was exemplary and the food delicious. Breakfast was timed for your arrival so there was no hours-old buffet awaiting you. Breakfast was beautifully presented and freshly prepared including honey from the on-site colony (we know, we delivered the honeycomb from the beekeeper to the kitchen) how fresh do you want it? Lyng Dal is delightful and I'd go out of my way to stay here again! We recommended our friends in Aarhus to visit Lyng Dal...

After being confined to our apartment for our first year of marriage (thanks corona 😉) we decided to go on a hiking holiday and to finish the holiday by celebrating our wedding anniversary at Lyng Dal Hotel. From the moment we stepped into the reception we were met with a warm atmosphere by the wonderful staff. The food was even better than expected and the flexible menu left no wishes unfulfilled. During dinner the staff was once again incredible. We loved hearing about the origins of the ingredients (many of which are grown in their own garden) and about the reason why they were chosen for this particular dish. As wine lovers we were especially appreciated the perfect wine pairing Anita recommended. Breakfast was just as delicious and the homemade malt-bread will stay in our memories for a while ☺️

When we finished breakfast we both wondered what surely many people thought before: "Do we really have to leave?"

For us it was the perfect way to celebrate our love and we will definitely be back! But for now we can linger on the memories over a glass of Gl. Ry Gin & Tonic and dream of our next stay at this hidden gem in one of Denmark's most...

Lyng Dal Hotel is situated with the most fabulous view from the rooms to a very hilly and various nature with the possibility for a fine walk. Just 10 minutes to Galgebakke (Gallow Hill) and another 10 minutes to Musebakke (Mouse Hill) and back again gives the appetite for an excellent dinner. There are only nine rooms, which gives the owner and staff the possibility to have an eye on every detail, and they do. The seasons dinner is some of the best menus I’ve ever tasted. The Lyng Dal Hotel Chef uses mostly local ingredients, grown in their own backyard, which gives every dish a large variety of looks and of tastes and everything is indeed composed so it is a taste of heaven on earth. I do too have to mention the owners and the staff, even youngest trainee, who are indeed polite, talkative and on the solid ground, just as we like it in Jutland. I do apologies that Tripadvisor has no more than five “stars”, because here I need and they deserves six. It is a hotel with middle class prizes for luxury...
