Hotel & Restaurant de Westerburcht in Westerbork

Special hotel rooms | You know the drill. You've just checked into a hotel and you walk up to the room. You've already seen a picture of the hotel room on the internet and when you open the door you see that you have indeed been assigned such a room. Nice, you think. With us, things are different. You have just checked into the hotel, walk to your room. There you are at the door. You've booked a luxury themed suite, with a freestanding bathtub. But what kind of theme do you actually have? Now that you think about it, you actually have no idea. You stand in front of the door and open it with your phone (we can do that!) or a pass. You open the door and you don't know what you see. Is this a hotel room? You look around you. You see trees, murals, a waterfall and, indeed, a free-standing bathtub below. Full of wonder, you walk into the room and indeed see a large bed. Looking up, you see a staircase leading to a treehouse. Full of surprises, but also extremely luxurious. You have never seen anything like it. You immediately take photos to send to your friends and family, they need to see this! In this example, we describe our Wildlands Suite, but we have many more special hotel rooms! Curious? Then read on quickly!

In our hotel/restaurant, we strive for maximum sustainability in all our operational procedures. One of our goals is to serve our guests dishes that are as local and organic as possible. We achieve this by actively using the produce we grow in our own organic garden and sourcing as many ingredients as possible from local suppliers. Moreover, we have installed solar panels to make our energy needs more sustainable, and we do our bit for a better world by producing soap from the peels of our own oranges. This is just one example of our commitment to sustainability; more information can be found on this page.

At our restaurant, we believe in freshness and sustainability. Our own organic garden provides the essential ingredients for our menu. Every season, our chefs create tasty dishes, using many ingredients from our organic garden. We try to incorporate our focus on sustainability and local produce into every dish. Book now and discover the unique flavours of sustainability and freshness.
