Your dog on your room

Taking your dog to Vlieland & Badhotel Bruin

Vlieland is a paradise for dogs and their owners. Miles of beaches, endless space and lots of hiking trails for you and your four-legged friend! Dogs are welcome in the hotel, but not in all rooms, as most rooms are carpeted. We do have 6 apartments with balcony or terrace, where your dog has plenty of space. He gets a dog cushion, food and water bowl and a bone on arrival. So you do not have to drag all that along on the boat. The cost per night is € 22,50. On request we also have a crate for you.
