Hotel in zona Lighthouse Maritime Consultancy, Oost-Vlieland

We stayed at WestCord Strandhotel Seeduyn in July 2023, as a family of 4 (two adults, two pre-teen/teenage kids). First, the pros: The hotel is in a great location on Vlieland, located directly on a gorgeous stretch of beach. It's easy to get to, as you can use the island bus for free during your stay (by showing your hotel card). Breakfast was pretty good, food was fresh and tasted great (especially the croissants!!), though after a week there wasn't enough variety and the buffet got boring. We ate at the Brassery restaurant two evenings, and the food there was also very nice. Most of the staff were very pleasant, though during check-in we did not receive any information about amenities, as there was a line of people who arrived on the bus at the same time as us, and the front desk staff seemed to just want us all processed as quickly as they could. There's a ton of activities for everyone, both at the hotel, as well as the surroundings. Kids club, bowling, swimming pool, wellness center, tennis, beach activities, the list goes on. We were unlucky with the weather, so it was nice to have options to keep our kids occupied. Now for the cons: Our hotel room was not great, especially for the price we paid. We were in one of the ”Medium” apartments, which are located in the auxiliary building (next to the main hotel building, and connected with an underground tunnel). The room was smelly due to the poor ventilation (it honestly smelled like cat/dog urine on the carpet), and the kitchen was not super clean (drawers & fridge had some bits of food/crumbs in them). Bedrooms were stuffy, as there are no windows to the outside (see above ventilation issue), and beds were not particularly comfortable. We found we immediately had to open the living room windows every time we entered just to make the apartment tolerable. They say on their website that we get a discount at a local bicycle rental on the island, so we proceeded to make a reservation directly with the shop. What the WestCord website doesn't tell you is that you need to call/directly contact the hotel and have them reserve on your behalf if you want to get this discount. Notes specific for the apartments: There is no room cleaning done during your stay. They will come in and change towels occasionally (every two days or so?), and no trash removal or anything else will be done until after you leave. As others have said, there's a pretty good selection of kitchen utensils/dishes, but absolutely no extras (salt/pepper, spices, oil, coffee/tea, etc.) for cooking, so plan accordingly. It also wasn't clear what to do with the trash (we were there 1 week, and it wasn't collected, so we weren't quite sure how to sort or where to put it). TLDR: This feels like a 3* hotel in quality for 5* prices (especially during summer/peak season). It's fine for what it is, but you'd likely be better off renting a house in the dunes next door for the price, if you're looking at their apartment

Sono stato in questo hotel con la mia ragazza per un weekend lungo da Venerdi' a Domenica. Terschelling e' un isola bellissima per immergersi nella natura e l'hotel e' perfetto sotto tutti i punti di vista! Gli spazi comuni sono tutti curati ed estremamente puliti. Il personale alla reception e' molto educato e sempre disponibile. Ci hanno consigliato attivita' e messo a disposizione ogni alternativa sia per trasporti che per attivita' ed escursioni da fare. Il noleggio bici e' estremamente raccomandato e c'e' una vasta scelta anche di bici elettriche, tutte in ottimo stato. La colazione offre moltissime alternative ed ha orari veramente estesi, quindi e' facile organizzare le attivita' quotidiane senza rischiare di perdere il primo pasto. Camerieri sempre disponibili e il mangiare e bevande non mancano mai. Abbiamo provato anche la cena al ristorante, sono rimasto piacevolmente sorpreso. Vivo in Olanda e questa e' stata la migliore cena che abbia mai provato in territorio olandese! Ottima varieta' di vini, consigliatissimo per rapporto qualita'/prezzo! I servizi dell hotel sono ottimi, dalla piscina, al bowling alla spa. Personale sempre cordiale, disponibile ed estremamente socievole, ti fanno sentire a casa e danno ottimi consigli. La camera e' ottima, spaziosa e pulitissima. La vista che hanno le camere sul mare penso sia unica sull'isola. La posizione dell'hotel e' anche perfetta: a 5 minuti in bici dal centro di West-Terschelling e 10 min a piedi con passeggiata in riva al mare. Il ristorante ha una vista suggestiva sul mare, indimenticabile! Esperienza fantastica sotto tutti i punti di vista, assolutamente il migliore sull'isola, andateci!
