"The hotel is located close to the village and a beautiful surroundings to walk. The price-quality ratio is thick: you will get what you can expect for this price. The room is spacious, with a small terrace, fun at beautiful weather. The restaurant also has a fine atmosphere. The beds are a little soft, but that's personal."

"A family-run business...attentive and very friendly hotel team. Excellent breakfast, great restaurant. Rooms are good and comfortable. Then there's the location...on the Brink in Dwingeloo...how typical Drenthe can get."

"My family and I have regularly been visiting the restaurant in Van de Valk in Spier for years. The ambiance in the restaurant is always pleasant and professional. Unfortunately, cost cutting and rapidly rising menu prices has meant you now get a much worse meal today compared with a few years sgo. I now consider the meal prices expensive. In the past, you would receive a complimentary small salad and the french fries were generously served in “puntjes”. During our most recent meal, the french fries were served in a very small bowl and were soggy, clearly having sat for some time in the kitchen waiting for customer. The cod was not hot when served and looked rather anemic with no accompanying sauce. The sliptong served were extremely small, leaving the customer still hungry. The accompanying vegetables served were an unrecognizable curry blend, again in a tiny bowl. In the past, two separate bowls of vegatables were served to cater for individual taste. In summary, our visits to Van de Valk in Spier will become much less frequent in future and we’ll be searching for better price/quality alternatives in the area for future family events."
