Dennis Kort won the Dutch Beer Sommelier Championship for the second time this year, and came second at last year's World Championship in Munich. He brews at Oldskool Brewery. On 20 November he joins us in the bistro.

Hotel & restaurant in Nes, Ameland

A small hotel and bistro in the heart of Nes on Ameland

Overzee is a small hotel with a bistro on Rixt van Doniastraat in Nes, the village on Ameland where the ferry from Holwerd arrives. You sleep in one of our ten rooms and eat downstairs in the bistro: lunch, dinner and a cocktail hour every afternoon.

From Overzee you walk straight into the centre of Nes, with its shops, terraces and church, and you cycle straight into the dunes, the woods or to the North Sea beach. You park your car at one of the large car parks twenty metres from the door.

Whether you come for a windswept weekend, a week of cycling across the island, lunch on a day trip to Ameland, or a wedding or company outing with the whole group: at Overzee, food and a bed are under one roof, with a team that knows the island.
