We enjoyed our visit to De Witte Leirsse 1557. PROS: 1. The location could not have been better. We traveled by train so did not need parking but we did want to be within easy walking distance from the station and fun things. 2. As a UNESCO World Heritage site, it was fascinating to see what living in 1557 might have been like. We are certainly thankful for electricity and hot running water! 3. Shower and plumbing worked well. 4. Communications prior to arrival, check in and check out went perfectly. CONS: 1. As advertised, the stairs are very very steep and ceilings and beams can be quite low. Our group was 3 very fit 20 somethings and 1 reasonably fit and agile 50 something. We were ok but still bumped our heads and had to be extra extra careful on the stairs and ladders. Do not stay here if you have small children or any mobility issues at all. 2. Bed linens were not particularly clean. Towel situation was dreadful. We each got one small thin ragged, but clean towel for showering. That did not deter us; we just felt like we were camping.
Overall a great experience.
