Comments & Tips

Place to stay

4 days Vlieland from € 384 for 2 persons in Hotel De Veerman

Island of Vlieland  >  Netherlands

Hotelletje de Veerman is a household name among Dutch birdwatchers. The hotel is ideally and wonderfully quietly located on the edge of the village of Oost-Vlieland and on the Wadden Sea. At low tide birds are foraging right in front of the hotel. The hotel also borders the Westerse Veld. These meadows and grasslands on the Wadden Sea are a magnet for birds. Rarities and vagrants are regularly seen here. From the hotel you can walk there within a minute. The hotel's breakfast is famous. It is not only very tasty, but bird watchers have also been thought of. At breakfast you get a bag to take lunch with you. This way you can enjoy lunch on a bench in nature during the walks and optimally enjoy the birds and the Vlieland landscape.
