Great location

Stayed here en route to Schiphol. The room was in a kind of houseboat on the lake. It was a comfortable room - the wifi was great. The surrounding area seems to be a nature reserve. I’d definitely stay here again.

Not wheelchair nor vegan friendly

4 night stay The hotel’s hot water pipes run under the floor which heat up the room - so hot we had headaches. There were no curtains in the window meaning daylight wakes you up. There is a steep slope to the room plus a metal bar making it difficult for the wheelchair to go into the room. The hook to hold the door open is difficult to access. You can hear ‘everything’ going on in the next room. On the plus side, the doors are wide enough for a wheelchair once inside including the bathroom. The staff seemed friendly enough but unable to provide solutions.

Un petit bijou dans un écrin de verdure

On rentre dans l'hôtel via une station-service : étonnant. ! Les hôtesses sont charmantes vous montrent votre chambre sur un plan et puis vous partez à l'aventure vous demandant bien ce que vous faites ici et au final vous y arrivez dans une belle et grande chambre, au bord d'un petit étang... L'autoroute n'est pas loin et pourtant on n'y pense même pas....

I was very disappointed with 1the room as it had absolutely no view of the water. Room 1 had only one tiny tiny window that opened. The under floor heating was on despite it being 25C outside and the aircondioning did not work. I was hoping to sit out on the balcony overlooking the water on the last night of our holiday. I think it is terribly deceptive and we should have been informed that we did not have views over the water. we paid extra to have a dog with us and I feel we got a bad deal. As we arrived late we could not resolve these issues. The lady in the cafe kindly offered us a complimentary breakfast which saved the day. But neverthe less I still feel we were misled.

Zoals veel bedrijven. Is er helaas de kans aanwezig dat er personeel werkt die de Nederlandse taal niet beheerst. Goed dat ze werken, maar zorg dan voor dat er voldoende personeel is dat de Nederlandse taal beheerst. Is voor de gast en de werknemer ook prettiger
