Spiders in the wardrobe that climbed into our clothes and came away with us (small but still annoying). Slightly odd way to pay, worked fine but not what used to. Slight odd place to pick up keys but made sense when we got there.

Reasonably authentic. Great history and presence for the whole town. Our room had a huge bathroom and a wonderful shower.

Bourtange is a very nice, quite place suitable for people looking for relax and peace. The hotel is inside the village and our room was very charming. Breakfast complied with our expectation

Great to stay within the walled fort. Interesting to walk around and . The staff was very friendly, the communication before arrival was great and the breakfast was tasty.

There was no internet connection in room 10. I would have liked a box of tissues on the room and more milk,sugar and coffee satchels.

I thought the breakfast was adequate and typical of a continental breakfast in Europe.

Peculiarly inefficient WC.

Location: ideal (practically in the centre of the fort). Quiet. Adequate size room. Comfortable, good size bed. Breakfast suited our tastes very well and quantity was just right.

In the bathroom I missed grips for older people ; beds were to narrow, although soft

the whole area of WESTERWOLDE: quiet a peaceful area and relaxed and friendly people. We liked the oudside cafe-restaurant near Vlagtwedde, in and around an old farm, Forgot tehe name of it,but you already for sure;

The weather was colder than expected so an extra blanket would have been nice.

The property was quirky and perfectly located - the staff were very friendly and the fortress a great place to visit

Asked for two single beds, obviously because we wanted to sleep separately. Got two single beds made up as a double with one set of bedding. Next time I’ll double check that this is understood. Also the breakfast leaves a lot to be desired. It’s inexpensive so can’t really complain, but it’s not a hearty breakfast. Probably better going elsewhere if you want something more than a few rolls with ham and cheese and some jam, peanut butter, chocolate containers.

it’s an interesting and novel place to stay, probably as part of a longer trip or just for a day or two.

The rooms were larger than expected, and comfortable to move around in. Facilities were fine, the basics were covered, including tv, water kettle and 2 seating areas (in a 2 person room). Friendly room service too

Stayed in January 2022

Not all restaurants are open every nights, 1 is closed on the Friday night. So little choice, but food was good though. Small choice on the menu, due to issue with staff. Nice wine.

Perfect location, middle of the town. Beat the early tourists and stay longer. Simple breakfast and not all restaurants are open every night.

Taller persons should stay away from room 7, the bed is a boxbed, estimated length 190 cm.

The rooms are situated in the old fortress, which makes the stay an unique experience. Friendly staff, clean rooms and restaurant around the corner.

Room was slightly dusty. The covers of the lamps mostly. Also the rack to hang your towels was almost falling off. This however is just a little remark and it did not made our experience/stay less good.

We had our stay booked for originaly one night but instead we added another night. We decided so because our change of plans and the great first night in the accomodation. At our arrival we we're checked in by a very kind lady. She told us everyhting we had to know and gave us plenty of advice about what to see and do. The breakfast is lovely and plenty of choice. The room was lovely and just what you need. We enjoyed our 2 nights a lot and because you step back in time as the building date back a few centuries. We booked this place also because the money you pay for your stay is invested in maintaining the whole old vestibule. Keeping times long gone alive as the building have a story to tell. This stay was part of our trip throughout The Netherlands and discovering its history. We want to thank the staff for their kindness and proffesional help. We will be back one day.

Our room was a bit dusty. The lamp covers had a lot of dust on them. In the bathroom the rack to hang you towels was very loose.

Great breakfast & the hospitality from the staff. They are very helpfull and professional. The lady that was serving us breakfast was kind and advised us some nice places to visit. The beds are very good and the room has its basic needs. For us it was all great especially because we decided to stay 2 nights. Bourtange is something magical and we we're very pleased to hear that the money from the bookings is invested to finance the maintenance of the whole historic site.

Beautiful location in the old town of Bourtange which we did bot expect! Great service, room had a bath tub which was an excellent bonus! Breakfast was perfect. The typical ‘bedstee’ from the north part of the Netherlands was cosy and comfortable. I really recommend this place, great value for money too.

Staying at the Fortress was like living in a fairy tale. There were only 2 restaurants available but they had amazing food and service. Walking around and exploring the fortress was lovely. It was a good place to relax and take in the beautiful scenery. The rooms were very cute and sleeping in a box bed was a cool experience. Super comfortable.

Stayed in April 2024

One of the nights there were very noisy neighbours downstairs. Tv went on spontaneously, but eventually i managed to switch it off. Breakfast was mostly bread, which i usually dont have for breakfast.

Very comfortable, stylish even room with all the facilities that one needs. Small bathtub with window was an nice surprise. Very cosy bed.
