The staff was extremely nice and helpful. The place is peaceful, with a garden and space to relax. I loved the breakfast included and I appreciated having a shared kitchen area. It’s located right at the beginning of Giethoorn so it’s a perfect spot to start your sightseeing.

The staff is really nice, and also provide the information of the village, telling you where to visit and what to eat. And the breakfast is good, too! They also provide fridge and kitchen, so you can also cook by yourself if the dinner here is too expensive for you. And the common space is a heart-warming area, they have a blackboard where you can draw anything or sign.
