Recommended rooms

Activities
Borrow bikes (and helmets), then pedal along the lakeside trails, or take a surfboard down to the beach. The hotel concierge can hook you up with family-friendly boat trips, too.
Swimming pool
It’s heated, and has sunloungers along the side, so you can keep half an eye on in-pool antics.
Meals
There are highchairs and a healthy children’s menu in the restaurant, and free soft drinks in the minibar. You can buy baby food and snacks on-site, the staff will happily warm up milk, and there are colouring books to keep fiddly fingers busy.
Babysitting
It’s €10 an hour for a babysitter or €12 for a nanny, and the minimum booking is four hours. Book at least eight hours in advance.
No need to pack
A changing mat.
Also
Audio devices provided, or you can use your own – if you’re planning adults-only dinners, ask for a room close to the restaurant to guarantee good signal. The beaches, forests, lakes and dunes make the local area fantastic for mini explorers, with tons of nature to ramble and investigate.
The hotel has been renovated with an eco-friendly ethos – new buildings are constructed of local wood to blend in with the environment and the interiors maximise natural light to reduce energy use. The restaurant deals solely in local, sustainable produce.
