Perfect location for us. Very pleasant and helpful staff - most spoke very good English. Lovely food in the restaurant, great bar area and comfy longer sofas. Bike hire was a real bonus.

“friendly nice stay in well run hotel”
Efficient and speedy problem solving: - the large mirror over the bed was taken off the wall as I did not dare to sit up in bed, touching the mirror made it move. - noisy hinge of wardrobe was oiled. Beautiful flowers edging room terrace Hotel has clearly grown over the years yet overview by owners still very noticeable. Pleasant and caring atmosphere.

“Fantastic stay in beautiful hotel”
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!

“Value for money and very well located”
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.

“Wonderful stay, enjoyed the outdoors to the max”
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.

“Great place to stay”
Great service. They also help us change the bedsheets when one got dirty due to unforseen circumstances.

“Beautiful serene surroundings and excellent location from where to explore the island.”
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.
