Scandinavisch Dorp Reviews

Beautiful location. Nice staff. Complete bungalow. Good price. Suitable base for going to Groningen, seal sanctuary or the prison museum, for example.

Beautiful place to relax. The food is excellent and the service is very friendly and service oriented.

Nice restaurant, very friendly service and if you keep an eye on availability you can eat moose ..

Great log cabins, very well cared for breakfast for little. Nice area and good point to cycle in the Onlanden. Buffet tasty and good value for money.

Enjoy a Scandinavian theme. Furthermore, just Dutch. You get exactly what you are used to. Located in a nice spot near the water, with a terrace. Nothing wrong with that

The location is great, the food and drinks also very good, but the people who work there are really great.
We had a special day, and that is really great provided by the people there.
Koen, Eeke and the rest, super, very nice.

Great kitchen.
Cozy ambiance.

Relax on the terrace and enjoy the sun and a fish soup!

Nice interior, real Scandinavian warmth! Staff is very friendly and could work well with dietary requirements. Great food, great atmosphere and nice view of the lake.

Great place
Very nice staff. Great coffee delicious cake

Just back after 3 nights in the Scandinavian Village. The area is beautiful. The cottages are very basic, the shower is claustrophobic tight, so are the bedrooms. Well at a nice distance from the center of Groningen. At check-out we were asked, quite forcefully, whether we had left it tidy enough so that the following people could enter it .... I really can't think you should leave the broom clean and tidy> no more than normal, but a real cleaning should be done by the landlord. This explains the cobwebs and the layers of dust under the beds.
You will not see us again. If you decide to spend the night here, make sure you bring a comforter alongside your bedding .... these are not included, pillows are provided.

Great location, nice staff but the food keeps getting worse although it's quite expensive. The burger was nothing to brag about and it came with a side of fries out of the bag. The curry soup seemed to be the unox variety. It's a pity, it used to be a decent place to go.

Was nice and cozy, good and nice service. Really recommended

On Sunday morning here are allowed to take advantage of a Sunday breakfast. The view is beautiful, but that's it.
The breakfast buffet consists of white, brown and corn bread and that is also the bread assortment. There is also a small bowl of fruit and a small plate with warm pancakes that every guest dives on, since that is the only thing that gives you a somewhat Sunday feeling.
You can have a wonderful time here for lunch, dinner or a terrace. For breakfast you better go to the local petrol station on the corner.

We expressed our dissatisfaction and received the answer that there used to be a more extensive breakfast. However, a lot of food was thrown away. Very a shame of course. Now a European breakfast has been chosen ... 3 different sandwiches ... No croissant or currant bun to be found ...
For the 1 fine, for the other just adjust their expectations and enjoy your good company.

Tip: mention your 'extensive' breakfast on your website. Although I understand why you don't;)

High tea de luxe which was very extensive and sublime in taste. Where elsewhere you are often offered a tea box with an assortment of tea bags, here you can go to a real tea corner to scoop your own tea into a bag, the range seems endless. An absolute must!

Reasonable food, it was very busy and that was noticeable. In the summer a lovely terrace.

You imagine yourself in Scandinavia, wonderfully warm cosiness

A bit sober with the addition of, for example, an after high tea

Attended nice buffet, all tasted delicious and the service was very friendly. Point for improvement: serve the soup / baguette from two approach directions, now it took a very long time.

The restaurant is attractive with good food and good service at family parties. Sometimes the catering leaves small stitches and the buffet is not replenished everywhere on time.

Great basic stay. Unfortunately only possible to pay with Visa in addition to the regular payment methods. In addition, everything you need is extra (towels, linen package, etc.). Furthermore, a nice environment and what a rest. Also a great base for Groningen.

Enjoyed a delicious lunch, well provided and excellent service

Delicious high tea in a beautiful place and well served

Don't go to dinner when there is a wedding, you end up in a dirty room afterwards. Waiting for our food for an hour and a half. Then came the food of the children (2 and 5 years) a fries with a (hema) smoked sausage!
When they finished it our food finally arrived, very little! A soup bowl with cauliflower, pears and fries for 3 adults! Each tablespoon. We were able to order when we were told but the children had no more patience to stay at the table after 2 hours. We went home without dessert or cup of coffee and 170 euros lighter. Very disappointed! According to the service better next time! Well next time it won't come and we will not recommend this to anyone, despite the nice location. What will you do about this if there are guests outside of a wedding? I think it would be better to be honest and say that it may take a while to close the tent for other guests. I'm curious!

Nice environment. But the food in the restaurant is scanty.
Vegan option consists of potatoes and vegetables. Very unimaginative ..

What a fantastic place. As a Norwegian-speaking guest who lives in the Netherlands again, I love it!

Nice log cabins and great restaurant. Very nice for a weekend away.

Neatly registered, tables in the shade were reserved so we asked if we could use the picnic table in the shade, no problem.
But we were constantly ignored by the waiter (seemed like the owner), after 10 minutes of waiting he addressed that we would like 2 capuchino, hardly any reaction.
After another 10 minutes we left the restaurant.
So never come here again.

Cabins could do with being updated, everything in them are in a slight state of disrepair. Shower is small and tempromental and does not maintain its temperature but if you are looking for a cheap place to stay then it does the job. Main town is a 30 minute bike ride away. You can hire bikes for 10euro a day. Taxi to town is 30 Euro and there is a bus service for 2.50 Euro.

Nice place for a snack or a drink in a beautiful setting.

Very nice setting but not easy to know where to go for the home. Beautiful room, hearty and delicious lunch

Great restaurant, great location. Cottages very dated, but not expired. Excellent value for money.

Delicious food, super nice quiet place.
Slept wonderfully, nicely in the bath.
Warm and hospitable service.

Had a great afternoon! Excellent service. Good explanation about the high tea. To be repeated!

Very good food, nice location for a party or reception.

Great location but very poor service. On arrival we found that the pillows and sheets were also included in the linen package, so we were forced to purchase this. The price of 30 euros per couple is outrageous since there are holes in the linen. Furthermore, there were no matches or toilet paper present in the house and the promise to bring new matches was not kept. When we went to the reception because we were unable to cook, it was first said that the matches were used up after 15 minutes of searching for new ones. Finally we were told that we could check out at the reception on our day of departure, but no one was there, so we left our things in the house. The repayment of the deposit took a month. All in all poor service and not worth the money.

In itself a funny house, but you feel like a 2nd class guest when you check in at the restaurant, no warm welcome at all. There are no blankets in the houses, very strange because there are pillows. Fortunately it wasn't that cold that night. Also the sauna not seen from the inside, this was apparently not desirable that we made use of it. Cottage was clean and cute, but with 2 adults this was already small. Not recommended for 4 adults. All in all little past glory.

Nice location, friendly and welcoming staff. We had reservations but were leaving this was not a problem.

The Scandinavian buffet is good. But the room that you rent as an association is fired ridiculously hot, probably in the hope of selling more drinks.

Very nice to go, children really enjoyed themselves.
Unfortunately, the floor and door of the house creaked so much that it always woke little baby up.

Nice restaurant with a good view, pleasant staff and fair prices.

Delicious food and drinks, especially the Groningen wine is a must, you can only hope that it is not finished. I understand there is a limited amount per season.

Always a good atmosphere and great location for a meeting from work. Provided regular and delicious food.

Superb, of course if you are looking for a 5 stars do not take account of this opinion, but cottage clean, simple and functional, super nice setting (lake 50m), rikiki price, simply beautiful staff, they do everything for you to pass a nice stay ... Side restaurant very very well also, Scandinavian and regional cuisine (mustard soup to fall) Very nice discovery !!!!!!!!!

Cosy and family-friendly restaurant. Can get quite busy at times. Nice Scandinavian atmosphere.

Very friendly welcome and delicious food in the restaurant. The breakfast was also perfect. Compliments for the staff.

Wonderful place by the lake! Recommended for family and company outings. But certainly also for a wonderfully relaxed cup of coffee on the terrace with friends or a good meal.

Sweet house, but very basic and out dates. If it would get a makeover, great base for a week in Drenthe / Groningen in beautiful surroundings.

Restaurant and service is great! Log cabins are a bit old, outdated, things don't work. Haha. So survival

Very nicely situated, with nice houses. Only downside is the shower / toilet combination which is very tight

Very attractive location to relax, great menu and service.

In terms of food and drink no experience. The booking for overnight did not work. Reserved on Sunday evening what was possible according to site (it was a short day) Unfortunately no response that evening or Monday either on their telephone number and the 'emergency' number that the voicemail gave. Still tried via FB unfortunately also no success.

High Tea on Sunday. I was here on a warm Sunday afternoon with girlfriends for a high tea for my birthday. It was about 25 degrees and we were covered with large umbrellas that offered half shade. After everyone had arrived, 2 jugs of hot water and 2 tea boxes were put down and moments later 2 bowls with floors with snacks (see photo) and scones and that was it. For each one there was 1 snack of the same. When placing the bowls it was said to start with the chocolate first, because of the warm weather it would melt immediately, but because the sandwiches also contained fish, they had to be consumed quickly. Then we felt we had to eat it because otherwise it would melt or spoil, with the result that the snacks were already finished after half an hour and the 'high tea' had ended. After that we were offered nothing more, no more snacks or tea water. My girlfriend later asked for tea, after which 2 more jugs were put down. I would have thought it better and more entertaining if the snacks had come in stages, first for example sweet and then savory (also taking into account the warm weather) this was very unfortunate how things went now, I also thought it was little, there was 1 snack per piece per person and I did not come "full" from it, in short I would not do a high tea again so quickly.

The food was very expensive and nothing special.
The clause was moderate, luxurious but not quite.
The location was fine!
And finally they have no children. When we asked about a frikandel and fries for my son, we got an irritated answer: "Well if you're looking for a frikandel, you should go to an eatery in town."
Therefore 1 star.

Delicious and cozy food in a real Scandinavian wooden 'house'. Only the toilets should be a little higher ....

Great location for your wedding we really had the day of our lives thanks

Nice cozy restaurant with a beautiful waterside terraces
