In addition to fourteen beautifully decorated rooms and a honeymoon cottage, the resort has a restaurant with à la carte menus, a garden house, terraces and a beauty salon. There is a rural-styled sauna facility, a heated outdoor swimming pool with a Jacuzzi and a sun lawn. The barn has been transformed into a winter garden and is ideal for weddings, celebrations, parties, congresses, seminars and other meetings. The rural estate consists of a park with meandering paths, a pond with an island and a large orchard with old varieties of fruit trees. Take a walk to escape from your frenetic daily life.

Experience that island feeling at the mainland! At the farthest tip of The Netherlands is the tourist village of Pieterburen, where walking the mudflats once originated. In addition, the well-known Pieterburen Zeehondencentrum (seal sanctuary) is located in the village and it is an easy operating base for a visit to the islands of Schiermonnikoog and Borkum. The comfortable Hotel Waddenweelde is the official starting point of the Pieterpad. Walks across the mudflats are held on a daily basis and the hotel has various facilities, such as two à la carte restaurants (one of which is located in Lauwersoog, with a wonderful view of the Wadden Sea and Lauwersmeer lake), a grand café and a pizzeria. If you are looking for some relaxation during your stay, go to the Waddenwellness bathhouse with a swimming pool and a sauna; pure indulgence after a brisk walk across the mudflats. And the children are sure to jump in the air for joy in the playground of no less than 2500 m² or a ride on the kart track!

For 90 years, this has been the ultimate place to be for a delicious glass of (speciality) beer, wine or a chat. See for yourself why this café was elected the best café in the Netherlands. The Wolthoorn is a very special venue that cherishes traditions and quality, and proper hospitality ensures people have the best time. Also take the time to note the other guests and the fascinating paintings and memorabilia on the walls. The Wolthoorn is the perfect place if you have something to celebrate. The attractive room in the back is large enough for a considerable group and snug for a lovely gathering.

Buckshot Café opened its doors on 15 October 1999. Owners Maarten Burger and Marc Groenewoud run two floors with two bars and two different ambiances. The ground floor has a relaxed atmosphere, where guests see what they are doing and hear what they are saying, while on the first floor you can easily imagine yourself in the 1970s or 1980s. Music is important to us, so we play the latest jazz, soul, funk, jazz dance, nu jazz, lounge, funk, fusion and jazz rock, and every Sunday there is live music on the ground floor stage. We hold Buckshot Specials on a regular basis: special evenings featuring special music. Refer to the concert calender  for dates of live music and specials.

Hotel Boschhuis is hidden in the greenery at the end of a very old beech lane, and was originally established as a beer house and brewery for the benefit of the mediaeval Holy Cross Brothers monastery, dating from 1464, and located opposite the hotel. The view from the leafy terrace is the variation of the changing of the seasons. This wonderful environment provides many opportunities for hiking, cycling and other types of recreation. The mediaeval monastery and stately beeches have remained unchanged and the 15th century monastery and herb garden are open to visitors. Hotel Boschhuis has been a hospitable address for travellers, holiday-makers, business people, and various events for over 100 years.
