Affordable hotel in Drenthe - a special stay at a fair price

A special stay does not have to be expensive. At Bitter en Zoet you sleep in a listed 1893 monument at the heart of UNESCO World Heritage Veenhuizen, from € 130 per night including a generous breakfast and free parking at the door.

What you pay and what you get

A comfort room starts at € 130 per night, a deluxe room at € 140 and an apartment with its own kitchen and living room at € 180. Every stay includes the generous breakfast buffet, wifi and parking at the door. No surprises afterwards.

Stay longer for less

For two or three nights our specials work out cheaper than separate nights. That also gives you real time for the World Heritage site, the Fochteloerveen and the National Prison Museum around the corner.

Affordable for the whole family

In the apartments a family sleeps together in one spacious home, with a kitchen so not every meal has to be out. A cot or extra bed is available on request.

Booking direct is the best value

Book with us directly and no commission goes to a booking site, so we can help you find the right room. Feel free to call: we are happy to advise on dates, room layouts and packages.

Fair prices, no surprises

We are a small family business and keep our pricing simple. What you see on the site is what you pay: breakfast buffet, wifi and parking are always included.

That makes a special stay in UNESCO World Heritage Veenhuizen possible on a modest budget too.

  • Comfort room from € 130 per night
  • Deluxe room from € 140 per night
  • Apartment with kitchen from € 180 per night
  • Always including breakfast, wifi and parking

Getting the most from your budget

Choose a two- or three-night special instead of separate nights, book directly with us rather than through a booking site, and use the apartment kitchen for a simple evening meal.

Much of the village costs nothing: walking through the World Heritage site, cycling past the colony buildings and roaming the Slokkert stream valley are all free.
