The historic pottery workshop at Koninklijke Tichelaar showcases traditional Frisian ceramics that have been crafted here since 1572. Rent bikes to explore the harbor's traditional wooden boats or join locals sailing on the adjacent IJsselmeer lake.
The room was generally clean and comfortable. However, I noticed there was quite a lot of dust under the bed, so this area could use a little more attention during cleaning.
The breakfast was great, and we really enjoyed having it delivered right to our door.
One small issue was that the bathroom only had body wash and no shampoo.
Overall, we had a great stay. We also tried to purchase some snacks downstairs, but unfortunately, we were unable to pay as the Revolut payment link showed a...

Jonka and Karen made us extremely welcome and were very understanding with my Bronchitis and Asthma and gave us the most fabulous cold water, which in the heat was wonderful. Then when asked about local restaurants Jonka suggested going to the local supermarket and getting a salad and having it in their beautiful shaded garden. They gave us plates etc., then a desert of yoghurt. The breakfast was astounding and set you up for the whole day and as if that was not enough gave us fabulous...

Very relaxing, clean and stylish minimalist design. Quiet location within walking distance to dunes and reed beds. Excellent cycling lanes. Plenty of wildlife and within easy cycling distance to colourful bulb fields, coastal tracks, wetlands and villages. Limited places to eat without transport. The food in the restaurant however is delicious and excellent quality but fairly pricy. Limited choice for vegetarians/vegans. Always at least 2 fish options. Around 100-110 euro for 2 mains, sides,...

I stayed here with a group of 8 friends on a cycling tour of The Netherlands. This was the favourite hotel of everyone. From the moment we arrived until the time of our departure we really felt like guests in someone's home. Nancy and her team did a fantastic job of making us feel welcome. The hotel was spotless, the service excellent, and the breakfast exceptional. I can high recommend.

A beautifully renovated building with luxurious style, this genuinely is a boutique place to stay. A spacious and airy bedroom with large en-suite shower room, there’s space to work, relax and sleep.
Breakfast is amazing value at under €15 - a feast that’s freshly prepared and presented in the Fire Café next door (there’s an indoor route between the two buildings, served by staff who are friendly and very helpful - perfect.

A wonderful relaxing stay: welcoming, informed staff, excellent buffet breakfast and à la carte evening meals, spacious bedrooms, great central location - definitely recommended!

Even although builders are hard at work providing 24 more rooms by the summer, the standard and quality of service both in the hotel and in the brasserie (as the restaurant is temporarily closed for building works) were first rate. Dinner in the brasserie was one of the best we've ever experienced. Good menu, interesting flavours, quickly prepared and beautifully cooked, all done to perfection with a superb Creme Brulee to finish. Together with very reasonable prices both for the room with...

We stayed 2 nights. I chose this hotel as it was slightly out of town and therefore has easy parking and is away from any potential noise from the downtown nightlife. It is a nice short walk though the adjacent park to the outer canal. The staff on reception and in the restaurant appear to be mostly students studying at the attached university. In fact you walk through part of the modern uni building to get to the restaurant where breakfast is served. They were all very attentive and...
