Hotel & Restaurant De Meulenhoek is a charming family-run hotel located in the heart of Exloo, on the scenic Drentsche Hondsrug. Nestled between vast heathlands and tranquil forests, our hotel combines a contemporary style with a warm, rustic atmosphere, where genuine hospitality is always a given. Situated on the Brink and surrounded by lush greenery, it’s the perfect base to unwind and explore the region.

Exloo and its surroundings offer a wealth of cycling and walking routes that take you through the quintessential Drenthe landscape: traditional village fields (essen), drifting sand dunes, forests such as Exloo and Odoorn, the Hunzebos, and beautiful heathlands like the Molenveld, where you might even meet the shepherd and his flock on a daily walk. It’s no wonder Drenthe is a favorite destination for cyclists and hikers alike!

Relax on our front terrace while enjoying the picturesque view and a cup of coffee with homemade pastries. In our cozy à-la-carte restaurant, you can savor an international menu and create a dinner that suits your taste perfectly.

Our rooms are thoughtfully furnished for comfort, including a fully accessible room and two spacious family rooms. Ground-floor rooms also feature air conditioning for added convenience. If you’re looking for a welcoming, homely hotel with a personal touch, you’ve found the right place. We look forward to making your stay in our warm family hotel in Drenthe truly memorable.
