The history of the park

Our reception is right by the main entrance.

You’re always welcome to pop in here – we won’t bite or laugh at you! You can bring us any requests, big or small – and we can usually sort it all out!

Our slogan: Don’t let something that can be sorted in 5 minutes bother you for hours!

The reception isn’t staffed 24 hours a day – and if there’s no staff on duty, you’re welcome to contact the manager, Steen Wrist, on 6112 4000.

We have 94 free parking spaces right outside the main entrance.

Electric car chargers:

We have 4 parking spaces with electric car charging points.
The chargers are managed by Ewii – and you can use a Clever subscription on the chargers, amongst other things.

Do you need a toothbrush or cigarettes?

If so, please speak to the staff at reception or in the dining room. We have a small selection of everyday essentials such as:

You’re also always welcome to ask for an extra towel at reception.

On the day of departure, please leave your bed linen and towels on the floor in your room.

We’d also encourage you to use your towel twice – this helps save energy on washing, etc.

Before you leave your room, we would be very grateful if you could remove the bed linen and place it on the floor alongside your dirty towels (or put it in one of the linen baskets in the corridor).

Laugesens Have is surrounded by a park covering 12 tønder land.

The park was established in 1920 by Lauge Laugesen – hence the park’s name, of course!
Whilst you are staying at Laugesens Have, you are welcome to make the most of the park as much and as often as you like.
Among other things, there is a walking route of approx. 1.2 km around the park – and you’re welcome to use the large lawn for ball games, team-building activities or simply to enjoy the fresh air and the birdsong.

Bonfire pit
In the middle of the park is the large campfire site. You’re welcome to light a fire here – and by arrangement, we’d be happy to help you make stick bread and more.
Firewood, firelighters and so on can be found in the shed by the campfire site. You’re also welcome to enjoy a cup of coffee under the covered fire pit shelter!

Our history

Just one kilometre away from Laugesens Have, you’ll find Ringkøbing-Skjern Municipality’s largest plantation: Sandbæk Plantage.

There are marked routes here for running, mountain biking and horse riding. So don’t forget your running trainers and your mountain bike – there are plenty of opportunities to work up a sweat.

Pop round to reception and pick up a map of the routes. You’ll also find high-visibility vests and torches there.

You’ll find Hedeslaget in the basement at the far end of Knudepunktet

Here there’s a bar, a dance floor and music.

The bar is self-service, and you need a bar key to help yourself.
There are slips of paper at the bar where you note down your consumption; these are paid for in the dining room the following day (or by arrangement), either at breakfast or lunch.

You are not permitted to bring your own drinks to Laugesens Have.

Billiards, table tennis and darts
You’ll find our games room in Hedeslaget. Feel free to use it as much as you like whilst you’re staying at Laugesens Have.
We just ask that you tidy up after yourself!

Enjoy!

In the basement at the western end of the centre, you’ll find Munkekælderen and the Cinema

Munkekælderen is a self-service bar where you need a key to help yourself.
There are slips of paper at the bar where you note down what you’ve consumed, and these are paid for in the Dining Room the following day (or by arrangement), either at breakfast or lunch.

You’re not allowed to bring your own drinks to Laugesens Have.

In Munkekælderen, you can also play skittles billiards.

Right next door is our mini-cinema.

It features a large screen with a projector and 18 cinema seats.

You can stream your own films – there’s an Apple TV, amongst other things.
Follow the instructions in the room – it’s ‘plug and play’!

In the dining room, we serve breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Meal times are tailored to each guest’s schedule – so please bear this in mind.
However, on a typical day, breakfast is served from 7.30 am to 9.00 am, lunch from 12.00 pm to 1.00 pm and dinner from 7.00 pm to 8.00 pm.

We take great care to ensure that hot food is served hot – so even though it is a buffet, please do come to the restaurant at the time specified in the programme!

At Laugesens Have, we prioritise healthy and locally sourced ingredients and place a strong emphasis on sustainability.
We have carefully selected our suppliers, so we know we can always rely on our deliveries and do not need to compromise on quality.
We use organic produce to a certain extent, but are also very mindful of the country of origin and transport time. After all, we’d much rather have ordinary Danish carrots from a local grower than organic carrots from Spain!
That’s why we’re very keen to use ingredients with a local flavour. With us, you can enjoy leg of lamb from Videbæk, apple cider from Ringkøbing, vegetables from Nøvling, and so on.

There are self-service bars in Hedeslaget and Munkekælderen.

In the bars, there are slips of paper where you can note down your consumption; please settle your bill in the dining room the following day (or by arrangement), either at breakfast or lunch.

You are not permitted to bring your own drinks to Laugesens Have.

Perhaps you have already let us know that you have specific dietary requirements – for example, gluten-free, lactose-free, vegetarian, no pork, and so on.

In any case, we’d like you to pop into the kitchen straight after you arrive.

We want to make your stay as enjoyable as possible – and we’re happy to cater for any special dietary requirements.

You’ll find our coffee stations in Havestuen and Knudepunktet

Here, you’re welcome to help yourself to coffee, tea and hot chocolate throughout your stay. There’s often fruit available too, which you’re welcome to help yourself to.

There is also a microwave in Havestuen if, late in the evening, you’ve brought some food with you that you’d like to heat up.

You’ll also find clean plates and cutlery in the cupboard under the table.

At Laugesens Have, we have super-fast fibre broadband.

Simply select the ‘vestenvind’ network – there is NO password.

The photocopying and printing room is located at Knudepunktet.

There is a Canon photocopier here, which you are welcome to use.

The document will then be printed on the photocopier, and you can make further copies afterwards.

For guests attending meetings and conferences, photocopying is included in the meeting booking and is therefore free of charge.

All our meeting rooms are equipped with a large flat-screen monitor. It is a Clever-touch screen that you can use interactively.

There is also a webcam, so you can communicate with, for example, a speaker who is not on site.

The screen can be connected to a PC via an HDMI cable.

If you have any further questions, please contact the reception staff.

Right in the middle of the park, you’ll find our pavilion.

It’s very welcome for the centre’s guests to use it.
On a cold winter’s day, you can light the wood-burning stove and wrap yourself in one of the blankets provided in the pavilion.

The games and balls are free to use – we just ask that you tidy up after yourself so that the next guest can find them too.
If anything gets broken – or if you’re missing something – please contact the staff.

In the western corner of the park, you’ll find our multi-purpose pitch, which is, of course, free to use.

There are handball goals here, and in the shed near the pitch you’ll also find hockey goals and sticks for you to play with.

You’ll find balls and other equipment in the pavilion in the middle of the park, by the large lawn.

In the western part of the park, you’ll find our shelters.

They are free to use – but we’d like to know if you’re using them, so please contact a member of staff if you do.

We ask that you do not bring mattress toppers, duvets or pillows from the rooms. Instead, we have some mattresses and duvets available for this purpose. You are, of course, also welcome to bring your own sleeping bag etc.

There is a campfire area and a shelter with a table and benches, so you can sit out of the wind whilst eating.
