With top ratings in all criteria and a review score of 9.7, Lyts Paradys left the competition trailing behind. The winning accommodation combines a stylish interior with a genuine countryside feel. Guests enjoy high-quality comfort here, walking amongst the sheep on the two-hectare estate or relaxing in the massage parlour. That unique balance between chic and charming earned the B&B the top prize.

“Lyts Paradys literally means ‘little paradise’; this B&B more than lives up to its name,” says Hanny Arens of the Dutch Bed & Breakfast Foundation. “As soon as you drive into the farmyard and are warmly welcomed with homemade cakes, the hustle and bustle falls away. Everything feels right here, from the homemade breakfast to the attention to detail in the interior. The hosts have blended their passion and professionalism to create a truly special place.”
