We visited the hotel during a family trip. Hotel staff is friendly. Good dinner options. Breakfast was also fine with fresh bread, fruit and eggs any style. Rooms are small and basic, B&B style. Personally, I would recommend to stay in a hotel closer to Groningen city for more activities nearby.

Date of stay: May 2015

Characterful hotel in rural Friesland run by an extremely pleasant family. 10 rooms and a restaurant and bar. Outstanding hospitality from owners Yvonne and Jorg; we were made to feel at home from the minute we arrived. Simple and comfortable en-suite bedrooms. The restaurant is excellent. We enjoyed the best meal of our 10 day trip to Friesland and Groningen here. Really high quality food and excellent personal service. Breakfast was very good as well. Highly recommended if you're in the area.

If I did not have to work in this area, I probably would never have found this place, but having done so I found the owners friendly, the staff are very pleasant, the food is of a high standard, the beer cold and tasty and the place warm and welcoming.

We spent a couple of weeks in the neighbourhood of Pieterburen this September, and one evening, around 7pm, returning from one of our outings, we stopped at De Oude Smidse for dinner.
They only had a couple in the restaurant, having a drink, and when we asked if we could have dinner, the owner was a bit taken aback. They weren't expecting customers anymore. Nevertheless, after the first shock, he invited us in and said we could definitely have dinner. The cook wasn't there, and still they opened the kitchen especially for us, and made us a very good dinner of venison (for me) and vegetarian burger (for my husband). It didn't even take too long.
Thank you for the hospitality. We were very pleased and thoroughly enjoyed our dinner!
A special note to the owners son, who was a very smart, considerate and eager to learn young man.
Next time, we'll be sure to make a reservation!!

We spent some days in the northern part of the Netherlands and had a very nice stay in the Old
Smidse. Clean room and a good bathroom in top of the hotel. The owners are very helpfull and friendly from begin to the end of our visit.The restaurant offers good meals for a good price. Westernieland is a very small village in a surrounding near to the coast and surrounded by big farmerhouses.
