Why choose a hotel in Drenthe?
Drenthe is the province of wide fields, old forests and quiet villages. People who stay here come for the calm. Bitter en Zoet sits in Veenhuizen, a short cycle from the Fochteloerveen nature reserve, the National Prison Museum and the brook valleys around the Slokkert.
Sleeping in a listed monument from 1893
Our rooms and apartments are spread across three monumental service houses and the old hospital. Every room is different: tall windows, thick walls, roof beams in the attic. Comfort rooms, larger Deluxe rooms with a bathtub and family apartments with their own kitchen - all including our generous breakfast buffet.
Dining in the same building
After check-in you can leave the car where it is. Our restaurant serves approachable fine dining with organic produce from Drenthe, Groningen and Friesland, beer from the village brewery Maallust and vegetables from our own kitchen garden.
Getting here and parking
You will find us at Hospitaallaan 16 in Veenhuizen, about twenty minutes from Assen and half an hour from Groningen. Parking is free at the door, including charging points. Book online and discover the hotel in Drenthe with a story.
