Serving healthy cuisine, this peaceful hotel in the East Frisian village of Dornum overlooks the Mahlbusen lake. The beaches of the North Sea coastline are just a short stroll away. The cosy, en-suite rooms of the privately run Hotel Buten-Diek provide a friendly base for a variety of leisure activities. The rooms offer all standard amenities, while some rooms enjoy idyllic views of the lake. Go on relaxing walks, spend the afternoon on the beach, or take a dip in Dornum's heated seawater pool. You can also rent bicycles and pedal boats nearby. The Buten-Diek's restaurant will spoil you with tasty, well-balanced cuisine and fine wines. Most of the produce comes from local, organic farms.

    Das Frühstück war sehr gut, aber nicht so überladen wie in manchen größeren Hotels.
  • Sandra

    Die Zimmer waren sauber und komfortabel. Der Service zuvorkommend und beim Frühstück hat es an nichts gefehlt. In 10 Minuten ist man am Hafen bzw. Strand und in der Nähe gibt es mich eine Einkaufsmöglichkeit. Zudem liegt genau nebenan noch ein See...
  • Miriam
    Germany Germany
    Im Mittelpunkt stand eine pragmatische Übernachtung, von daher kein großer Anspruch an die Lage; Parkplatz direkt vor dem Haus; sehr nette Gastgeber. Sehr nette individuelle Lösung, meinen leergefahrenen eScooter laden zu können.
