What makes this accommodation special

The feeling of staying and spending the night in a fully restored national monument is truly special. The beautiful fireplaces, Delftware tiles, and traditional colors offer an almost museum-like experience. At the same time, the house is fully equipped and furnished with inspiring, contemporary art and design objects. Silhûs is a unique blend of past and present, history and modern comfort!

We're Friesland lovers, passionate about history, but also about contemporary art and design. This is evident in our restored captain's house. During spring and summer, we spend a lot of time in the village and on the water, and in autumn and winter, we warm up indoors with a crackling fire and candles. Throughout the year, we stay in various locations throughout the country, which we enjoy sharing with others. Every house feels like home to our family. Will you come and experience that for yourself?

Tips from the owner

Woudsend is a vibrant village with plenty of restaurants and cafes and a lively atmosphere. On the corner near the bridge, you'll find De Watersport with a pleasant terrace. At the sports harbor, you'll find De Pleats, a café with a lively atmosphere. 't Ponkje is highly recommended: a delicious dinner in a historic church. The fresh cuisine at Vis en Meer is also highly recommended. In Balk, beach club Badmeester Keimpe is a favorite. Heeg, Sneek, and historic Sloten are just around the corner and also worth a visit. In summer, the village hosts a weekly farmers' market, the SKS and IFKS skûtsjesilen (SKS and IFKS skûtsjesailing) takes place, and numerous activities are organized in and around the village. Even in the winter months, there's plenty to do in Woudsend, but you can also enjoy the peace and quiet.
