"Yes, that Gouda, birthplace of the world-renowned cheese, and a classic example of the cobblestoned, verdant, walkable town squares for which Europe is justly famous. Weeshuis Gouda’s proprietors took their time renovating this 17th-century orphanage, carefully preserving antique details like stone scrollwork and cheerful, red-shuttered windows. Inside, the period architecture is contrasted with a clean, modern touch, a look that brings to mind the simplicity and efficiency at the core of Dutch hospitality and design. Fresh flowers and floods of light complete the charming picture, calming the mind before your next cathedral tour or canalside stroll." - Tablet Hotels
