This hotel is a historic place in the small city of Grou in the province of Friesland, known for it's aquatic activities during the warm season. It exudes old world charm, the location is perfect next to the lake, with their own jetty. I stayed in the hotel during the slow season, in actual fact: I was the only guest in the hotel which gave me a strange desolate impression. I enjoyed a Christmas meal with members of my family that live near by. The meal was adequate, but not excellent. The service on the contrary was more than adequate, very friendly and efficient. I stayed in a single room that was quite small, but that was not an important issue. I looked out over the lake. There are no elevators in the hotel, so those with lots of luggage should be prepared to climb stairs. The hotel has a reputation to serve a good breakfast, but since I was the only guest, this breakfast was very uninteresting. Enough bread for 10 people, a hard boiled egg, a bowl of yoghurt with watermelon and some cold cuts. No great selection of teas. The breakfast room looks out over the lake and is pleasant, I surely would want to come back in the high season, I am sure it will be a completely different experience.
