Peaceful and green
Super peaceful, rural location. Looks great for biking and hiking, though for us was just an overnight stop. Unusual conversion of a hospital into hotel. Interesting architecture, amazing LARGE windows. Very friendly and helpful service. No restaurants particularly nearby but nice to eat at the hotel and great breakfast included.

Diamond in the rough
A diamond in the rough, out in the middle of no where. Superb service and food. We found what we needed. The little town has a history of having several prisons, dating way back. Incredible history to be found. Unfortunately non of it in English, only dutch. You have to read up about it on line. Super accommodating staff. Helpful and friendly. We enjoyed long bicycle rides, exploring the country country sid.

Nice environment and easy to visit if you like quiet. The Kolonie van weldadigheid, is an interesting part of history. Besides this not much to see. Breakfast is basic, but okay.

Hier voel, beleef je de innerlijke rust
Een culturele sportief verblijf voor enkele dagen! Fantastisch wandelgebied met veel routes en fietsroutes van verschillende afstanden. Je maakt letterlijk onderdeel uit van de geschiedenis waar het hotel ook haar plaats in had als dokters woning. De keuken met eerlijke gerechten ui de Tuinen van Weldadigheid zijn heerlijk.

Hotel in een rustige, landelijke omgeving, uitstekend ontbijt, prima parkeergelegenheid, vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel, en een zeer goed restaurant. De trap naar onze kamer was erg steil met smalle treden. Geen koelkast is een minnetje.

Restaurant erg goed, hotel gedateerd/niet schoon!
Hotel is wat gedateerd en onze kamer was niet erg schoon, veel (dode)vliegen en rukte erg muf, leek erop of er de kamer langere tijd niet gebruikt was. Moest zelf dode vliegen uit het raam blazen. Restaurant deel niet hip maar eten erg goed!!

Ruim appartement, eens wat anders, De keuze in de keuken was wat beperkt, maar gezien de huidige situatie begrijpelijk. Vond de hele omgeving wel rustgevend maar ook wat creepy. Zeker ook gezien de geschiedenis van deze omgeving.
