Last minute decision to spend a few days cycling with children in Holland- found this hotel and it looked like it would suit. I exchanged emails in english with the owner late a night (rapid response) to discover we could arrive with car and bike trailer, park easily (5 min walk away for 6 euro total for 5 days), and they could provide bike trail maps- Perfect. We travelled from Hull - Zeebrugge and the drive to Veere was easy (approx 90 mins) via toll tunnel. We arrived earlier than reported check-in time but our room was ready so we moved in. We cycled on the first afternoon to Middleburg. Cycling is amazingly easy, safe and unpolluted; Zeeland is lovely; the Oosterschelde lobster has a short season but coincided with our stay- the hotel restaurant was really excellent. Everywhere else we ate in Veere was lovely: de Werf (twice) and another place on the harbourside.||The town is predominantly pedestrianised which makes it quiet, safe and pleasant to walk. The church bells toll every half hour with full-on melodies (not at night) which is quaint.||Cycling was plentiful- we went as far as Westkapelle on our last day through farm land and woods, and back via touristy Domberg and the sand dunes. The lake at Veere can be bathed in. There is sailing to do here if you like that. It's lovely.||The museum at the flood barrage was very expensive (80 euro for 4) but as interesting and a reasonable way to escape the torrential rain on one morning.||I highly recommend Zeeland, cycling and Veere. This hotel was functional for us in a family room. The restaurant was great. (Breakfast was limited; fresh bread and pastries were gone by 09.00). The staff were friendly...

Read moreLocation location! I had a spacious room on the first floor with view of the Market Square. I felt very comfortable in the room although there was a heat wave, but the room had been ventilated well and as it doesn't get sun, it was perfect for me (I try to avoid AC as much as possible). I did use 1 ventilator just before going to bed. It is right in the middle of gorgeous historical Veere. Just amazing. Almost felt like a local being able to walk around the whole town. Price/quality was great. Excellent breakfast in the beautiful historical breakfast room (great eggs and bacon).|Parking was no issue, I offloaded first and then found a spot at the nearby parking lot (200 meters away). |As luck had it, the following day of my stay was the first historical market of the season right underneath my window. Every Tu from July-Sept|Locals dressed up historically selling all kinds of typical products, from mustard to handpainted...
