Lovely location by lake, very friendly and welcoming personnel, delicious meal and large, well equipped bedroom/kitchen.
I was a bit cold (80 years old and live in warmer climes), particularly in the morning when heating off . After the weekend, no local cafes or restaurants open and no nearby food shops. My fault - should have checked before. My lovely light windows sadly did not look out on lake. Maybe room 1 did?

A big comfortable room with an equiped kitchen.. There is a restaurant downstairs, with delicious food and reasonable prices and friendly stuff. The location is wonderful, by the lake…In the morning you are woken up by the bird song and calls of ducs and gees…priceless…
The smell of the kitchen could be felt in the room.. luckily it smelled on pancakes 😀

The location is just amazing. It’s on the beach of the lake. It only has 2 rooms and it’s above a restaurant, but it’s super quiet and the food is great as well! The staff are so friendly and the room is very very spacious

Strandgaper is a rustic guest house located beside a lake in a suburb of Rotterdam. If you're up for some cycling, hiking, swimming, boating, fishing or just there to relax by the lake, it's a perfect location. Don't have fancy expectations of a grandoise 5-star hotel because that it certainly is not. I was there for its location and it suited me fine. My room was large, spacious and overlooking the lake. But of course in terms of room amenities it was nowhere near an urban hotel. But would I return? Definitely !!

The views from the bedroom were brilliant. The space you got was fantastic making it very comfortable. It was really worth getting a meal there too, one of the nicest we had in the netherlands. The staff were also very friendly, can't recommend the place enough.
