The room was a bit more basic and bathroom less modern than other Van der Valk hotels but was well located for my husband to do a “Z” Parkrun! Added bonus was the inclusion of entry to the bird park the hotel is next to - we really enjoyed our visit there in the morning!

Our stay at the hotel was very enjoyable. We received a helpful welcome text prior to arrival and reception staff were friendly and efficient when we checked in. Our room was quiet, spacious and very comfortable. The 11.30 checkout enabled us to take part in Zagerplas parkrun, return and shower before departure. We were delighted to learn that our booking entitled us to free admission to the adjacent Avifunda Birdpark and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves there.
