Review Fort Bakkerskil We needed a nice place to stay in Werkendam because of extended business there. We did not want to be across the rivers and traffic on the A-27 is always a mess. We found Fort Bakkerskil B&B and were stunned by the beauty of the Fort, the comfort of the rooms, the quality of the mattresses, dedicated high speed WiFi per room, the mini bar and everything you need for a temporary "home". The hospitality shown by Laurens & Wilma, the owners, was impressive and they were open to any need we asked for. The quietness of the Fort and its surrounding is very relaxing. The E-bicycle rentals available at the Fort gave us the opportunity to explore the Biesbosch, Werkendam and its surroundings. We have stayed a week, but could have stayed longer.... and we will be back

Very interesting place to stay inside a fort. In principle it is a convenient small hotel (maybe even too luxury). The room was very nice and well heated in winter. Bathroom very clean and surprisingly convenient for a place like this. It’s easy to park at the parking lot close to the road. Breakfast was very good. There’s no WiFi and weak signal of GSM inside, but it’s hard to say if that’s good or bad:-) The road to reach the place is narrow and pedestrians and bikers will have the feeling the road is for them and not for you, but it’s just a short distance.

My little girl missed the owners relatives dog Bella as she was not visiting this time

Everything is lovely with the fort, and the owners are lovely. Only 30 min from Efteling theme park and other towns nearby. This was our second stay here and we will definitely stay again.

The property could be aired out a little before our arrival.

Very unique location, beautiful conversion of an existing Fort. It's very good value for money, considering how spacious & that a good spread of breakfast is included. We enjoyed the information & activities suggested on their website too. We did a little walk around the fort after breakfast, very enjoyable Lots of attention to detail ❤️

It was fine - no complaints

interesting and very presented. Everything we were expecting and needed was provided.

Stayed in May 2023

Keep in mind that only microwave oven is available in the kitchen - for us that was a bit difficult, but the place itself was beautiful, so it is definitely worth to stay!

Great place to stay - very unusual as it is former fortifications. We had two levels in our room - the lower one with sleeping beds and the upper one with kitchenette, dining table and spacious living room with beautiful view from huge window. When we told our hosts that we are leaving very early in the morning, they brought us breakfasts in the evening - that was very nice and thoughtful, thanks a lot!
