Een schitterend en recent gerenoveerd hotel op een prachtige plek midden in de natuur en 100 meter van zee. Fijn hotel, gastvrij voor een prettig verblijf. Goede uitvalsbasis om Terschelling met de fiets te verkennen. Mooie en ruime kamer met balkon. Goede badkamer met bad en aparte douche. Fantastisch ontbijt in mooi restaurant met veel ruimte tussen de tafels. Kortom een hotel dat een aanrader is als je van rust en ruimte houdt.
Het is een prima hotel op een perfecte plek.
Het personeel is vriendelijk, kamer was zeer goed met een mooi uitzicht. Ontbijt was goed verzorgd en de diner mogelijkheden goed.
Het geheel (inclusief kamer)was zeer schoon en de kamer had goede bedden. Fijn dat je huisdiervrije kamers kon kiezen.
Een aanrader ook voor mensen met een huisdier.
Prima hotel, dicht aan zee, heel vriendelijk personeel met goed restaurant. Is een aanrader.

Prima Hotel maar prijs - kwaliteit verhouding volgens ons niet goed.
Gedateerde kamer. Kap schermerlamp hing scheef (en niet recht te zetten), vieze vingers op kap, vlekken in vloerbedekking, gaten en vlekken in bank, haren en stof op zijkant boxspring. Ontbijt was prima!

Perfect beach and dune location
Perfect location: 3 min walk from the beach, free access to nice indoor pool with hammam and sauna, good restaurant, breakfast is fine but always the same choice (we stayed 6 days). Child friendly, nice staff, bike rental on site, bus stop in front of the hotel, free public parking (2 min away). Cleaning could be much better (5 nights, no new clean sheets...), 2 min to clean the bathroom, no vacuum... far from shops and restaurants.
Fijn dicht bij strand, bereikbaar met openbaar vervoer. Midsland en West Terschelling per fiets goed bereikbaar. Goede samenwerking hotel en fietsverhuur met inleveren fietsebagagevervoer
We hebben een heerlijk weekend op Terschelling gehad en dat kwam ook door het mooie hotel gelegen op een schitterende locatie. Personeel was behulpzaam en erg vriendelijk. Een echte aanrader.
De kamers op de benedenverdieping hebben een loopbruggetje bij het terras, waardoor je zo de heidevelden op kunt lopen. Om je hond uit te kunnen laten, is dat perfect. Je hoeft dan niet door de lobby en zorgt daardoor voor minder onrust.
