Sweets hotel - Buiksloterdraaibrug

Situated on a cycle route in a rustic setting with a view directly over a tiny lake in Amsterdam north. Your neighbours are the local swans. Picturesque Dutch character houses line the street and a postcard-perfect 18th-century windmill is within walking distance. Enjoy a picnic on your private lake-side lawn in summer. In winter this bridge house is a romantic and cosy hide-out. Buiksloterdraaibrug is a perfect overnight stop for cyclists on the LF7 cycle route.
