3-star hotels in Bunschoten
A shortlist of the 3-star stays in Bunschoten, a small Dutch harbour town on the Eemmeer. It is for travellers who want a quiet base near the water, whether for a couple of nights as a couple, a family break or a short cycling stop.
Staying in Bunschoten
Bunschoten sits beside the water in the Netherlands, with the old harbour of Spakenburg as its best-known corner. Visitors come for the boats, the waterfront and the flat polder landscape around it, and the pace is slow: this is a place for walking, cycling and watching the water rather than for a packed city programme.
The three hotels on this list all sit in Bunschoten itself. B&B de Nieuwe Haven is on Kerkemaat, close to the harbour quarter. De Oude Pastorie is on Kolkplein, in the village core. Bed en B ootje is on Het Kanon, with its loft boat lying in the harbour of Spakenburg. Couples and short-break guests fit best here; families are served by De Oude Pastorie, which has family rooms and cots, while business travellers will find free wifi and parking everywhere on the list.
