We were really happy with the atmosphere and style of the restaurant. We had breakfast here and were given the options of a full english breakfast and a continental breakfast. We both picked the English breakfast. I personally like having few options at a restaurant so this was good. The breakfast was tasty but nothing special. We were disappointed by the service.

Read moreWe stayed at de Hoop for 2 nights. We had one of the cottages.. really neat. Clean and beyond our expectations. Our dinners were great too. Entré was really micro... even by French standards.. :) .. waitress Mariska was great..

We also did a Vulture tour up the mountains with Priest. Really knowledgeable guide about nature. We rented bikes and biked about 13km to the beach. Good ride though one of us had a squeaky bike.. but greatful we vould rent one. I would certainly recommend this place to families and couples who...
