This is a great place to go for a long weekend getaway with children. They have a pool and a playground and lots of sheep and horses in the area, so there's lots of physical activities for children to do. I'd recommend booking one of their special package deals to save a ton of money. The rooms here do sell out, so if you're not careful you could be spending 160 euros per night for a 6 person room instead of 70-80 euros per night for a regular room. I'd also recommend bringing a car, because there is no grocery store close by, and they don't sell any food or supplies in the hotel. If you want to go shopping in town then a car would save you tons of time as well since the buses only run once an hour and are usually late, sometimes even a half hour late.
Their hotel restaurant is pretty decent. The dishes are of course overpriced, but you get a lot of food. Their daily free breakfast is one of the best I've had. They have lots of cheese and cold cuts and eggs and other protein sources, as well as 6 different kinds of bread and 4 different kinds of American breakfast cereals, in case you're into the carbohydrates kind of thing.
The rooms seem to have good sound and light insulation, but the architecture in the larger rooms is kind of weird. There was a set of Dutch death trap spiral stairs coming right off the bathroom upstairs in our 6-person room, so if you took one step to the right when you left the toilet, you'd go tumbling down a tall flight of stairs. They had a baby gate available to block the stairs from small children, so that sort of made up for the feeling of danger. But I would have preferred to have a room all one one floor. Also the photos on the website bared little resemblance to the actual room itself, so take the images on their website with a grain of salt.
Overall I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for a quick getaway to one of the remote Dutch islands. read more
