WeidumerHout

Location and atmosphere

A little south of the city Leeuwarden, on the river Zwette, this characteristic ‘head-neck-body’ farmhouse WeidumerHout is situated. This area is characterized by the green of the wide meadows and the quiet of the countryside. At the campsite you have a beautiful view over the fields. You can even arrive in your own boat, as WeidumerHout has its own boarding point. Management at this accommodation is sustainable where possible, which means that all the waste water is purified on location and given back to nature. Solar collectors heat a part of the water used for bath and shower.

Facillities

Weidumerhout offers hotel and camping accommodation. At this hotel, that has obtained three, you will stay in one of the ten rooms; every room with own shower, toilet and sometimes a bath.

You can freeze your freezer packs at the campsite. At the restaurant in the farm you can taste all kinds of regional Frisian products, like cheese and beer. Guests may also use the sauna and the solarium. WeidumerHout offers information about the surroundings: it has the folder service of the Tourist Information Office.
