Pros +
- We had a great experience in a quiet and comfortable setting at a convenient location. The dinners at the hotel restaurant were very good. They had so many bicycles and the rental service was well-organized. The hotel personnel was very friendly and kind. I would choose this hotel again on a next visit.
- Clean, cosy, located in a scenic landscape
- Location was great, service and staff excellent. A lot of offers were not available for us due to time constraints but there was a variety of different extras for wellness and health. The rooms were spacious and quiet, and sustainability is priority. Plus, the weather wasn't too bad... We will be back for more!
Cons -
- We liked everything, however, the breakfast was not exceptional. A couple of warm options like eggs, sausages, etc. would have made it better.
- Not a lot. If we search deeply then we could argue that breakfast could have a bit more variety but this is really in the small details. One suggestion would be to secure the night entrance with a card reader. Other than this? No complaints...
- We would like to have had a coffee machine, as well as a fitted charging station for electronic devices, in the room.

The room was clean, we had two single beds and would have preferred one. When the windows were open there was a load of mosquitos, maybe something could be done in front of the window. The breakfast was basic but fresh.
Nice and practical location along the main road with the bus stop right in front of it.Comfortable room, nicely decorated and cozy restaurant. Also ate very well. Bike rental is easy and there’s a bike storage in the basement, very easy to access from outside.
The personnel were all exceptionally kind, friendly and helpful. Dinner was excellent, and the extra care to arrange an early breakfast, was also very much appreciated. The hotel is modern, however blends in well with the village surroundings. It is situated on the bus route to and from Westerschelling. The bicycles to rent on site, is also a welcoming feature.

It is right by a bus stop that goes to the ferry terminal so very easy to reach. Facilities are good and staff are friendly. They were also kind enough to arrange a bottle of prosecco from my parents in my room for my birthday, which was a nice surprise!
The breakfast was not very extensive. We would have like a few more hot food options at the buffet.
Nice breakfast with local products. Nice bar. Great bike storage. Location.
Rather basic bathroom. No coffee or tea in the room. Poor WiFi.
Staff and rooms were excellent and more that met our expectations. Food was very good too.
breakfast is good and all ingredients were well organised. We had dinner twice. It was in general OK but we did not like the "dubbele sucade" very much.
The placement of a cabinet as a separation between the beds and the he rest of the room is odd. It may lead to injuries whem people bump into a cabinet door.
A very good service at the reception and the bar/restaurant despite the very busy weekend, well done!
Very friendly staff, comfortable room and bed, great breakfast and location, close to beautiful east end of island
-
great position for exploring forests and beaches
nothing though quite dear
very nice place, very nice people that worked there. very relaxing environment. some rooms looked beautiful.
the breakfast was mediocre, compared to the amazing dinner they serve. the room we had was very blank, cold and boring.
Quiet place near the beach with excellent bike rental service.
The hotel upgraded us to the "Cupido Suite" which had a steam room & jacuzzi, it was a fabulous surprise! We had a lovely lunch & dinner, we rented bicycles & got a couples massage. We really enjoyed cycling to the beach! The staff were very friendly and helpful! All the facilities were very clean!
The bar !!! The breakfast !!!
The crane in the bathroom The smell in the room The bed sheets, why so difficult and not one big cover
Friendly staff, nice bar& restaurant, good, clean rooms
My pillow.
Relax in nature and biking weekend
Sauna didnt work
The staff of the hotel was very helpful and professional when we needed to leave early due to an unexpected situation. We very much enjoyed our stay. The location is perfect. The breakfast was very tasty and included plenty of options. We recommend this hotel.
