Adequate for Hikers, and a Decent Restaurant

We stayed here before starting our hike on The Pieterpad, as it is right across the street. The room was sparse, but clean. The lighting was extremely dim - I could not read my book! The bedside lamps had yellow bulbs in them, and the ceiling fixture was also dim. The food in the adjoining cafe was good, and breakfast had everything we wanted.
Couldn’t stay any closer to the trail!
Nice dinner with  generous portions of food and drink

Great for families / outdoors

Our hotel room was separated From the restaurant in a separate 2-storey house with ca. 4 hotel rooms. We were very happy with it. Clean , modern room with TV, nespresso coffee machine and tea, a (remote gas fire) fireplace, shower and bath tub. The plug sockets are baby-safe. There was an excellent choice for breakfast with inside and outside tables in the restaurant across the street that is part of the hotel. Our children loved the playground, minigolf and trampoline and the (completely empty) indoors swimming pool. Our dog was able to stay with us. Parking has a hight restriction of about 2m30 (worked with roofbox). - the only criticism i would habe was that the shower didn’t drain well, otherwise all fine and perfect location for families, with the seal sanctuary, waddenlopen, cycling and all the things the hotel itself has to offer.

Ziet redelijk afgeleefd uit, welness is wel volledig nieuw. Kamers hebben zeer dunnen muren en krakende houten vloeren, dus als de buren iets te hard hoesten kan je al volgen.

Een "geheime tip" voor een uitje

Superplek voor een vriendentref maar ook met je familie en kinderen. Je lijkt aan te komen aan het einde van de wereld (3km van de wadden) maar het is een aaneenschakeling van hotel, cafe, restaurants etc met een ongekende vriendelijkheid van het (lokale) personeel. Gewoon een aanrader voor als je even rust wil in een prima ambiance!
