Peter and Ruth are the creatives behind this buzzing hostel in Hollum, built as a convalescent home for German soldiers during WWII. The atmosphere is decidedly summer camp, with families making the most of the basic but well-kept rooms, organised children's activities and undulating sand dunes on the doorstep. Find the hostel 200m past the lighthouse; bus 130 stops here.
Dinner (€15.25), packed lunches (€7.75) and various packages including bike hire are available.
