Relaxen en genieten

Lieve medewerkers. Fijne spa faciliteiten en goed ontbijt. Gezellige haardvuurtjes in de bar van het restaurant en in de bar van de spa. Verschillende tapbieren.

Het restaurant van het hotel is dicht, dus niet alles onder een dak. Wat kledinghaakjes in de hotelkamer was handig geweest voor een jas, vochtige badjas en handdoek. Badkleding in de sauna blijft vreemd, maar voor toeristen wellicht beter.

“My tip: Direct naast het hotel zit een gezellig pannenkoekenhuis.”

Fijn hotel, goede service en uitstekende locatie

Nudist health spa or family hotel?

We stayed here because of an activity involving our older son, so had not chosen the location for holiday alone. The area is quiet, rural and delightful (though not packed with tourist attractions), but Dutch trains are so efficient that it is easy to travel to Utrecht or to the wonderful Dolphinarium at Harderwijk. The hotel was clean, bright and the restaurant very pleasant. The staff, like all the Dutch, were kind and helpful (the manager coming out to the station to hand me the train tickets I\\\'d left behind!), and like all the Dutch, spoke excellent English.

It was, however, intolerably hot: we arrived in a heat wave but when the weather changed the room temperature did not. Our room, we think, was over the sauna, and the \\\"air conditioning\\\" - an elderly wall mounted fan - was both inadequate and noisy. \r\n\r\nWe were also taken aback by the nude swimming pool. We thought it was a family hotel (I gather it used to be) but it is in fact a health spa catering for nudists. Our children were amused rather than shocked, but our 12-year-old was determined to go in the pool, clothes or otherwise, and was treated with some strange looks from guests who were clearly not expecting to encounter a small boy. We were the only family with children staying there, and felt we had come to the wrong place. I think the hotel should decide what it wants to be, because there are some practical problems as well as social problems with the mix of family accommodation and steamy \\\"health\\\" pursuits.

We chose this hotel for its nearness to the railway and it was indeed very close. The other plus was the incredible kindness of the staff when there was a hitch with payment of the bill. They let me use their computer to sort it out.. which fortunately it very quickly was. The breakfasts were brilliant and the one dinner we had was very nice too; it took a bit of time to eat it, which was just as well, since there was a lot of it.

The view was not brilliant - kitchen waste area and there would have been less noise from the railway engineering work at night had we been at the back. Another small minus point was that only teaspoons were provided for eating cornflakes

Open haard Dicht bij station Heel vriendelijk personeel We kregen een andere kamer vanwege de muggen (hielp niet, helaas) Sauna & Beauty salon zit in hetzelfde gebouw, maar verder niet merkbaar. Restaurant rookvrij & smakelijk.

Er waren muggen op de kamer, in november. Was voor hun ook ongewoon. Zwembad na 12 uur \'s ochtends verplicht zonder badkleding. Grand cafe niet rookvrij
