I love this little place and the reason I return year after year. Great location right on the canal with outdoor seating for drinks snacks and meals. The restaurant and bar is very traditional and quaint, serving best drinks and food for miles. This is a family run establishment - all the staff are very warm and friendly.

“Perfect. Sad to leave and have to go home.”
A lovely hotel, cafe, restaurant and bar with inside and outside seating alongside the canal in an idyllic Friesland small town amongst quintessential Dutch people and life. Perfect location for exploring Friesland with only short travel distances between 20 minutes and 1 hour to everywhere. Good shops and supermarkets all easy walking distance and canal side bars and restaurants and historic buildings. Easy access for walkers and cyclists to miles of scenic cycle and walking routes amongst canals and wildlife. Population and staff all speak English to a high level and just could not be more friendly and helpful. We will visit Balk again and we will book rooms here again. The building is old but we liked it as it is maintained to very high standard and has so many traditional features and style with lots of lovely wood fittings and furnishings and a lovely atmosphere. The hotel has a good and extensive food menu all day long from snacks to full meals. The hotel allowe us to add all drinks and meals to our room bill which we did not have to pay until departure and they take cards or cash. We highly recommend a visit to eat at The Golden River Chinese restaurant and something that should not be missed it is 5* Rooms have multi channel TV. The rooms have good basic but functional and clean showers and bathrooms with good quality complimentary shower gel, soap, shampoo, towels and face cloths. We found all prices on a rough par with UK and good value for money.

Quiet rooms at back of an amazing restaurant. Fantastic fresh breakfast. Very clean and comfortable (not new furnishings if thats what you need), good showers, dark curtains, tea and coffee in room. Lovely team. Super value for money.

“Great value and great food!”
The twin room was clean and well equipped, with tea, coffee and a kettle. The standout feature was the superb restaurant. Good quality food, perfectly cooked and well presented, with great service from the staff.
