Frisian lakes, Friesland hotel rooms at the Independent

"The reason why I am not giving an excellent review, is because the dining staff and service were ok, not great."

"We were pleasantly surprised by the size and comfort of the Van der Valk rooms. We loved our stay and will definitely be back!"

"Beautiful surroundings, welcoming and helpful hosts/staff. Accomodation is simple but has all you need and the patio out the front is perfect to relax with a drink + a book. Perfect for our short stay."

"This hotel is located in an area where parking on the streets of the town is required and parking machines don't accept foreign (american) cards. There is also an app that can be loaded onto a US based iphone... Team member confirmed that they would refund since I had to find a different hotel but until now I haven't received a refund (one week has passed)"

"It was great "
