    Great place to stay with beautiful surroundings and options for excursions.

    • Stayed 1 night

    The room/suite was ideal for the four of us....two teenagers and two adults. with the separate bedroom everyone had their privacy. Love the seating area and balcony. Made the place feel like home. Breakfast can be expansive with so many choices and great views. Our birthday dinner in a separate dining room was special. Thanks for the special dessert!

    The friendliness of the staff was just not present and it took so long to make an order at the bar /restaurant. It's a pity as the place was great otherwise.

    I really have nothing

    I would easily go back. The staff is so friendly and helpful. And the food was fantastic. We had a 5 course dinner with the 8 of us at Huisje James, and that was absolutely incredible. And then we had a fantastic big breakfast to in the afternoon enjoy a terrific linch in the boardroom. They really were on point with all the service around it, we really felt a special guest. Furthermore the venue is beautiful, well thought through and very tasteful design. Of course outside is a splendid treat, a cherry on the cake of being in nature so peacefully. I would definitely go back, nothing like a swim at 7 in the morning.

    We liked everything in this hotel very much - the room, the surroundings, the swimming pool and saunas... When we are in the Netherlands, we always stop in this hotel for one night. Every time, as it is so comforting! Staff at the reception is kind and attentive, rooms spotlessly clean, stylish and spacious. Breakfast is very good. There is nothing I can complain about.

    There was no dedicated space to hang towels in the room which made it a little awkward. The beds were also not the most comfortable as they slipped around when you got up. The pillows were extremely firm and made it a little uncomfortable. I also wouldn't recommend using the restaurant on site for dinner, not because the food isn't good, but because service is extraordinarily slow when you're done with your meal.

    The hotel location was wonderful. It was close enough to the highway, but far enough away that you couldn't hear any traffic noise. The spa facilities were immaculate and well equipped. The breakfast had a lot of options and was well worth the extra charge. The shower was very spacious and everything in the room was clean.

    The changing rooms could have been inside the pool area. We needed to go out a tiny bit outside to wear and undress. But it really was not a big deal.

    Everything was super clean. Everything looked exactly the same as the pictures. Everybody (both staff and the people staying there) were super friendly.

    Fantastic Hotel close to Apeldoorn in Holland. The rooms are spacious with a modern bath in the middle of the room and a big walk in shower. The toilet is separated. Very helpful staff when checking in! The food in the restaurant and the breakfast are excellent value for money. We have stayed in many Hotels all over the world but this Hotel I can recommend to everybody! A big free parking is available.

    The pillows could be improved.

    This is the best value-for-money hotel I've been in recently. The staff were welcoming, the facility is amazing! The breakfast was so good! And the adjacent restaurant had very good lunch and dinner. Lastly, the surrounding is beautiful, and I very much recommend take a stroll/morning run in the nearby forest. Would absolutely comeback!
