People from the province of North Holland are known to be innately down-to-earth and this provincial quality is also a dominant factor at The Swan hotel and pub. The mischievous owner of this picturesque, age-old establishment seems to pay more attention to the billiards players in the downstairs pub than her hotel guests upstairs and the eight rooms available have been furnished in a basic manner with little embellishment. The two single beds and the wash basin are functional and there's a communal shower and toilet in the hall.
However, the tiny terrace in the back is a peaceful oasis in this tiny village that seems to have been cut off from the outside world for decades. But then again, it's exactly this basic simplicity that draws visitors to Ransdorp.
