This is a beautiful set of buildings that have been thoughtfully redesigned to make a wonderful place to stay. Quiet, very comfortable and relaxed, Great staff and lovely animals.

Excellent service and value for the money. Breakfast and dinner served at the table. The staff and owner are always very helpful. We travel with a 4 year old. She loves the donkeys(and the owners old dog), and the enclosed garden(s) makes it possible for the adults to relax even when she is spinning around doing her activities. It is not a place with a playground, but the whole setup with plenty of outdoor space makes it a very nice, relaxing place to stay also for families with children. This must be our 4th stay, and we will return!

The breakfast for a change was not a buffet but instead a laid out table and it was lovely and very filling for a 90k bike ride.
The bathroom was a litte dated with a in bath shower and the patio door had sliding locks but neither troubled us too much considering the age of building and the location.

We have stayed here before and have never been disappointed. This is a wonderful place and it makes an excellent home base for touring around Friesland. The breakfast is excellent and the rooms are spacious and cozy. Really feels like a home away from home. The back terrace is lovely to sit out on and possibly visit with the two burros that live on the premises. The staff is extremely hospitable, and they make you feel welcome.
Everything was perfect.

We loved the property - the rooms are wonderful with the separate lounge. Convenient to everything and for exploring on foot. Parking at the premises which was great. Coffee/tea and honor snack bar is great. The most wonderfully comfortable beds!
The bathroom could use some hooks for hanging and a counter/table surface to place your toiletries on. The bathroom is huge so there is plenty of room.

The breakfast served every day was delicious. There was an 'honesty box' for drinks and snacks which was very useful.
The ambience of the whole place is delightful. A beautiful garden, filled with apple and pear trees which we sat out in the sunshine reading books and enjoying the peaceful location. There are two lovely donkeys living just next door in the garden.
The large bedroom was spacious and had its own sitting area as well as a second bedroom off the main bedroom (ideal for snorers!!).
As we stayed there in late September/early October, the evening meal wasn't available but we dined well in Bolsward.
There was nothing we didn't like.

We really liked the location. Walking distance to the town centre..
Very roomy apartment. A bit strange that the washbasin was in the living room/kitchen..
No elevator to the first floor where we had to carry our heavy suitcases to.
No kitchen tools/plates. But we had a very nice breakfast instead downstairs.

We really liked the relaxed atmosphere at Het Weeshuis. The owner was very kind and helpful. He helped us with finding a nice bike route for the day and even printed it out. After our bike ride, we came back "home" and had a nice glass of wine in the garden, absolutely lovely! The honesty bar is also a good concept. We highly recommend staying at Het Weeshuis!
My constructive feedback for improvement would be a nice chair in the Living room part of our 2-bed room. It would have been nice to sit somewhere relaxed in a chair to read for example.

Everybody was very welcoming. Room size is very generous. We got a quadruple room with 2 separate bed rooms, ideal for a family with teenager(s). Great shower and comfy beds. The honesty bar is a great system for a covid-safe bar (you take what you need, and keep your own tab). We also love the sweet donkeys!
We wished we could have used the terrace more, but the weather was not accommodating, unfortunately.

The contact we had with the hotel before arrival was very clear and helpfull! We had a nice room, with our own terrace. The building looks very nice and is situated in the centre, which makes it very easy to just walk into the little town. The staff was very helpfull, also with dinner suggestions, as we had to eat in our own room due to Corona. They also offered meals prepared by the hotel. We ordered from another restaurant as we wanted to support another restaurant as well. We did have breakfast in the room, which was served in the room. It was a very nice breakfast, with enough for all of us!
