Lemmer Luxury: Your Dream Farmhouse Awaits (Indoor Swim Spa & Sauna!)
Lemmer Luxury: Your Dream Farmhouse Awaits (Indoor Swim Spa & Sauna!)
Lemmer Luxury: My Dream Farmhouse? Maybe. Let's Dive In (Swim Spa AND Sauna!)
Alright, alright, picture this: you're scrolling, you're dreaming, and suddenly, BAM! Lemmer Luxury: Your Dream Farmhouse Awaits (Indoor Swim Spa & Sauna!) pops up. Sounds idyllic, doesn't it? Farmhouse vibes, swim spa – inside – and a sauna? My stressed-out soul practically hummed. I had to investigate. And because I'm apparently an unpaid hotel reviewer now, here's the lowdown, warts and all. Buckle up, buttercups, it's going to be a bumpy (and hopefully hilarious) ride.
(Disclaimer: My experience is based on the features advertised. I haven't actually stayed there… yet. But I've done my homework! Consider this a hyper-detailed pre-trip pep talk.)
The Good Stuff (The Stuff That Sparked My Interest!):
- Accessibility: HUGE win if you're needing it! Facilities for disabled guests are listed, and the website implies it’s going to be good. This is a big selling point for many, and it's great they list it. Hopefully, it’s actually well-executed, not just a token gesture. I hope there's a ramp and wide doorways!
- Relaxation Central (Oh, the Swim Spa!): The Indoor Swim Spa & Sauna! is the headline, people! That alone, the concept of a private spa experience, is selling me. Forget the daily grind, the screaming kids (if you have 'em), the overflowing inbox. I'm picturing myself gliding through the water, then melting into the sauna's embrace. Glorious. They also have a Spa, which is the logical conclusion. A Steamroom is listed, too. Oh, and a Pool with view. I'm sold.
- Getting Away From It All (And Staying Connected…): Free Wi-Fi in all rooms (bless!), and a Fitness center to at least pretend to be healthy. Daily housekeeping – yes, please! – and a convenient Coffee/tea maker in the room. And, for those pesky work emergencies (let's be honest, we all get them), Internet [LAN] and Laptop workspace is available.
- Food, Glorious Food! (And Options!): Okay, they've got my attention again: Restaurants, Room service [24-hour], multiple Restaurants, plus a Breakfast [buffet]. They have Asian cuisine in restaurant and Vegetarian restaurant, Coffee shop and Snack bar. And look! Asian breakfast and Western breakfast! This is impressive. Plus, a Bar. I can already taste that post-spa cocktail. And if I'm feeling REALLY lazy? Breakfast in room. YES.
The Practical Bits (The "Is This Actually a Good Idea?" Section):
- Cleanliness and Safety (Post-Pandemic Anxiety Check): Okay, this is crucial. Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Doctor/nurse on call, and Hand sanitizer available? Okay, this is a good start. Room sanitization opt-out available, too, which is nice for those who want to avoid chemicals. They're also touting things like Physical distancing of at least 1 meter and Staff trained in safety protocol. This is important, but let's hope it's not too clinical. You can still have a great time without feeling like you're in a sterile lab.
- Services and Conveniences (The Little Things That Matter): Air conditioning in public areas (essential), Concierge (always a lifesaver), Dry cleaning and Laundry service (because who wants to pack more than they need?!), Elevator. Seems pretty standard, but a good standard. Luggage storage is a win.
- Rooms, Rooms, Rooms (Where You'll Be Sleeping, Eventually): Air conditioning is a must! Bathrobes and slippers? Yes, please to lazy comfort. An In-room safe box, and a mini bar (with all the essentials, of course). And a Blackout curtains! God bless those blackout curtains. I'm also looking for a seriously comfy Sofa.
- Getting Around (How to Actually Get There and Back): Airport transfer is a huge plus. Car park [free of charge] and Car park [on-site] are also amazing.
The Maybe-Useful-Maybe-Not Stuff (The Fine Print):
- Meeting/banquet facilities and Audio-visual equipment for special events suggest this is a good place for business… or maybe weddings?
- Babysitting service and Family/child friendly suggests this is a place to bring your kids. Not exactly my current life goal, but good to know!
My Quirky Observations & Emotional Rollercoaster:
Okay, first, the name – Lemmer Luxury – it's a little… generic, isn't it? It doesn't exactly scream "unique farmhouse experience." But then I think about, what if "Lemmer" is a family name? Even better! Maybe there's a whole heartwarming backstory! Or, maybe it's just a name. Whatever. Don't judge a hotel by its name. Judge it by its swim spa.
The pictures had better deliver. I'm mentally preparing myself for disappointment. Hotel photos are often… well, let's just say they're aspirational. I'm hoping the reality matches the promise. I am dying to see the indoor swim spa. Is it all glass, making me feel connected to nature even when I'm swimming? Or something cozy and rustic? Inquiring minds (and stressed-out souls) want to know!
The Imperfections (Because Nothing's Perfect):
- Pets: "Pets allowed unavailable." This is a bummer for people like me who love to travel with their fur babies.
- Location, Location, Location? The description doesn't explicitly state the location. Is it remote? Close to anything fun? More information needed!
**The Verdict (And My Unsolicited Advice and a *Very* Persuasive Offer!):**
Okay, based on the information available, Lemmer Luxury sounds damn tempting. The swim spa is the major draw, obviously. The focus on safety and cleanliness is reassuring, and the food options are excellent. The price had better be right. I'm envisioning myself, wrapped in a bathrobe, sipping something delicious after a blissful soak. It's more than just a place to stay; it's a potential experience.
Here's the deal, Lemmer Luxury:

Hotel Diana Zilina: Your Slovakian Escape Awaits!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because this itinerary? It's less "perfectly planned getaway" and more "organized chaos with a killer swim spa." We're heading to a HUGE farmhouse in Lemmer, Netherlands, and honestly? I'm already calculating how much cheese I can smuggle back.
Lemmer Land: A Week of Questionable Decisions and Deliciousness
Day 1: Arrival of the Slightly Bedraggled Tourist
- Morning (aka 'The Great Airport Panic'): Flight from… well, let's just say somewhere. Packed everything last minute, of course. Managed to wrestle my suitcase onto the plane, but not before knocking over a strategically placed display of duty-free perfume. The guilt (and the scent of "Midnight Bloom") followed me all the way to Amsterdam.
- Afternoon (The Quest for the Rental Car): Okay, Google Maps said the rental place was "just a hop and a skip." Lies. All lies. Spent a solid hour wandering around Schiphol, trailing behind a gaggle of aggressively cheerful tourists. Finally found the rental place, got the car, and spent another hour figuring out the controls. The manual? Purely decorative, I swear. Nearly reversed into a ditch before I even left the car park. But hey, I lived. And I got an automatic… which is probably a testament to all the things I'd say, but will refrain from.
- Evening (Farmhouse Euphoria & Pizza Predicament): Finally, FINALLY, the farmhouse! And it's… HUGE. Like, you could hold a small country convention in this place. The swim spa and sauna? Glorious. Immediately tried the sauna. Regretted immediately. (Humidity is a sneaky thing). Then, the swim spa. Pure, unadulterated bliss. Ordered pizza. Dutch pizza, which, as it turns out, is a culinary adventure I’m not entirely sure I survived. I did take a detour to the local grocery store(ah, the cheese! the cheese!) and bought a few groceries.
Day 2: Canals, Windmills, and My Increasingly Questionable Dutch
- Morning (Amsterdam Jaunt): Okay, Amsterdam! The canals are pretty. The bikes? Terrifying. Spent most of the morning dodging cyclists who looked like they were auditioning for the Tour de France. Took a canal tour, which was lovely, until the guy started reciting the history of Amsterdam’s sewers. Too much information.
- Afternoon (Windmill Wonders & Gouda Glorification): Drove outside Amsterdam - more driving mishaps, including a mild panic attack on a roundabout. But! We got to the Zaanse Schans windmills. They're undeniably picturesque. Felt a surge of (very touristy) patriotic pride in the face of the dutch windmills and the beautiful scenery. Then… cheese. Gouda. Old Gouda. Young Gouda. Gouda that could probably cure cancer. Bought so much cheese, I'm pretty sure I'm single-handedly keeping the Dutch cheese industry afloat.
- Evening (Farmhouse Feast & Swim Spa Serenity): Back at the farmhouse. Cooked. Mostly burnt. The swim spa, however, was the ultimate stress reliever, and it was divine!
Day 3: Lemmer's Charm and a Deep Dive into Dutch Culture (and Mistakes)
- Morning (Lemmer Exploration): Lemmer itself! Honestly, it's ridiculously cute. Wandered around the harbor, gawked at the boats, and accidentally photobombed about 10 family portraits. My apologies to those people.
- Afternoon (The Language Barrier Blues & Bitterballen Bonanza): Decided to attempt ordering lunch in Dutch. The attempt was… valiant. The result? I’m pretty sure I accidentally ordered a live eel for the waitress’s cat. She just looked at me like I was from another planet. After the awkward encounter with the waitress, I gave up. I ate bitterballen. They are amazing. Deep-fried balls of meaty deliciousness. Five stars. Even better than Gouda.
- Evening (More Pizza, More Swim Spa, More Regret): Tried cooking again. Disaster. Ordered pizza. Dutch pizza again. Maybe I’ll stick to the cheese. Swim spa – still perfect. Also, I’m starting to feel the need to go on a juice cleanse.
Day 4: Water, Water Everywhere (and a Few Near-Drowning Experiences)
- Morning (Lake IJsselmeer Adventure): Decided I'd be brave and rent a little boat for a spin on the Ijsselmeer Lake. The wind? Ferocious. My boating skills? Non-existent. Spent a solid two hours battling the elements, narrowly avoiding capsizing, and generally looking like a complete idiot. But hey, I saw the lake! Also, the water was cold.
- Afternoon (Beach Bliss… or at least, attempted bliss): Went to the beach. The wind was still playing games with us. Tried to enjoy a book. Sand got everywhere. Eventually gave up and went for a walk. Saw some beautiful birds. And wind. So much wind.
- Evening (Sauna Redemption & Stargazing Success): Tried the sauna again. This time, I endured. Followed by the swim spa. Ahhhhh. Then, the night was gorgeous. Stargazing! Away from any light pollution, the sky was amazing.
Day 5: Museum Mayhem & Market Mishaps
- Morning (Museum Morning): Decided to find a museum. Found one, in a town called Sneek. We looked around, it was interesting (I think). Lots of pretty things. One room that was entirely dedicated to, well, antique chamberpots. I don’t know… it was a moment.
- Afternoon (Market Mania): Went to a local market. More cheese! More stroopwafels! More attempts at speaking Dutch, which culminated in me accidentally buying a bag of what I think was pickled herring. It smelled… intense.
- Evening (Cooking Fail (Again) & Swim Spa Victory): Tried to cook some fish from the market. Successfully burnt it. Ordered pizza. Swim spa, as always, was the ultimate reward.
Day 6: The Last Hurrah (and the Dreaded Packing)
- Morning (One Last Gouda Grumble and a Farmhouse Farewell): One last leisurely visit to the local cheese shop before the inevitable packing and cleaning.
- Afternoon (Shopping Spree): Went shopping. Bought many more souvenirs. Bought more Gouda.
- Evening (Goodbye Swim Spa & Preparing for Departure): Final swim spa session. Soaking in the bliss, the heat, the jets. Then, the dreaded task: packing. The suitcase is stuffed with Gouda, stroopwafels, and a lingering scent of "Midnight Bloom."
Day 7: Departure & the Longing for Gouda
- Departure (The End… or is it?): The return home. Tried to navigate the train system, which was almost as confusing as the rental car. Currently calculating when I can return to Lemmer and the all-powerful swim spa. And the cheese. Oh, the cheese.
Post Script:
This trip was less about perfect execution and more about embracing the delicious mess of life. Yes, I made mistakes. Yes, I may or may not have offended several Dutch people with my terrible Dutch. But the farmhouse, the swim spa, the cheese… it was all worth it. Highly recommend. Just, maybe, learn some basic Dutch before you go. And stay away from the pickled herring. Just trust me on that one.

Lemmer Luxury FAQs: Your Dream Farmhouse (Swim Spa & Sauna!)... or is it? Let's get Real!
Okay, the Website Says "Luxury Escape!" But Is Lemmer Luxury *Really* Luxurious? (And, Let's Be Honest, Is It Even Worth the Price?)
Alright, buckle up, buttercup, because this is the first question that *actually* matters, isn't it? "Luxury." That word gets thrown around like confetti, right? Lemmer Luxury… Well, it's *trying* to be luxurious. Remember when I stayed there last summer? (Don't judge my life choices, okay?). The *idea* is definitely luxurious. The indoor swim spa? Dreamy! The sauna? Heavenly. But let's be real, there were some… hiccups. Like, the "luxury" kitchen with the slightly-off-kilter cabinet door that drove me absolutely *insane* for the whole week. Seriously, every time I opened that door, I could feel my blood pressure rising. It's a work in progress, folks. The beds are comfy, the views are stunning (especially if you're into rolling hills), but "perfection"? Nah. Close, though. Whether it's worth the price… well, that depends on your definition of "worth." For me? The swim spa experience, even with the wonky cabinet and the slightly-too-soft pillows, was worth it. It was glorious! (And, yes, I actually *did* sob in the sauna. It was just… a bad day.) So, yeah. Go with realistic expectations and a healthy dose of humor. You'll be fine.
Tell Me About This Swim Spa. Does It *Actually* Work? And Is It as Magical as the Photos?
Okay, THIS is the star of the show, the reason you're even *considering* Lemmer Luxury. The swim spa. Let me tell you… YES, it works! (Unless, knock on wood, something's gone wrong since my visit. I hope not! I'm picturing it right now, glistening, beckoning me. Sigh.) The photos? They're pretty accurate. It's indoors, which is amazing, especially if the weather outside's being a jerk. The jets are powerful enough to give you a decent workout (or a superb massage, depending on your mood). And let's be honest: the *feeling* of floating in warm water, surrounded by peace and quiet? Magical. Pure, escapist bliss. But… and there's always a "but," isn't there? The water temperature can take a bit to get just right. And don't even *think* about forgetting your goggles. Trust me. I forgot mine. And I paid. (Eyes stinging forever!)
The Sauna – Sounds Amazing! But What's It *Really Like*? And More Importantly, Does It Smell Weird?
Oh, the sauna! It’s a love-hate relationship, truly. When I first stepped in, I was ecstatic! "This is the life!" I thought, the air thick with heat and the promise of complete relaxation. Then, about five minutes later, I thought, "Oh God, I'm going to pass out in here." (Dramatic, I know!) It’s HOT. Really hot. Be prepared to sweat buckets. And yes, I'm going to be honest, the smell depends. They usually keep it really clean, so it's typically a lovely, woodsy scent. But… and this is where the "honest" part kicks in… sometimes there's a *hint* of something...a little bit...damp. Like, if you're super sensitive to smells, bring some of your own essential oils, just in case. The good news? The heat eventually soothes and makes everything OK. (Which is why I sobbed - emotional overload, okay?). It's a true experience!
What Are the Kitchens Like? I Need to Know if I Can Actually *Cook* or If It's Just a Pretty Face.
The kitchens are good. They are! But, like I said before, there's that one weird cabinet door. My entire experience hinged on how well the kitchen worked. I'm a serious cook. I love a good meal. The appliances are usually modern and functional. There are decent pots and pans. But the devil is in the details. Remember that slightly askew cabinet door? It's a metaphor for the whole experience: things *almost* perfect, but always with that little something that makes you go, "Ugh, really?". That said, you *can* cook. You absolutely can. Just, maybe, check the cabinet doors *before* you unpack your groceries. Trust me. Learn from my mistakes. And maybe bring a small level. You know, just in case.
Is it Pet-Friendly? Please, for the Love of All That Is Holy, Tell Me I Can Bring My Dog!
I *think* they have pet-friendly options! But double-check, ALWAYS. I cannot stress this enough: Call them. Email them. Ask multiple times. (Because my memory is a sieve, and I wouldn't want to ruin your vacation!). My dog, Winston with his ridiculously large ears, has been known to accompany me on some pretty adventurous trips. I think. Again, do your homework. Because imagine showing up with your furry friend, only to be turned away? Heartbreak! So, yes, *maybe* pet-friendly. But verify, verify, verify! And if you *can* bring your dog, please, please, please, clean up after them. For the love of all that is good!
What About the Location? Remote and Relaxing, or Just… Isolated? (And Is There Cell Service?!)
Ah, the location. Prepare yourself for "remote." It's definitely not in the middle of a bustling city. Think rolling hills, quiet lanes… and maybe the occasional sheep. (Which, by the way, are surprisingly judgmental). Isolating, though? It depends on you. If you crave peace and quiet, it's paradise. If you need constant bustling activity, you might go stir-crazy. Cell service… well, that's a gamble. It can be spotty. Which, honestly, sometimes is a good thing! Force yourself to disconnect. Embrace the digital detox. And bring a book. Or three. You'll thank me later. (And yes, there *are* usually options for local grocery deliveries if you get desperate for food, but prepare your meals. That's very important.)
So, Bottom Line: Should I Book It?
Alright, the million-dollar question! Should you book Lemmer Luxury? My answer is: maybe. It depends on what you are looking for. If you're expecting a flawless, picture-perfect experience, you might be disappointed. But if you want a unique, memorable getaway with a seriously amazing swim spa and, if you're willing to embrace the imperfections (and maybe bring a little extra patience), then yes, go for it!
