It's an amazing hotel with fantastic helpful & warm staff--truly a a luxury experience. The room was fantastic, and the hotel was beautiful. The grounds were beautiful (though we didn't get to explore much due to a delayed arrival and rain), but a highlight was that we could enjoy the beautiful view while staying dry inside.
The location, room, breakfast, surroundings, and the great team !!
Nothing!
Serene beautiful estate with stunning grounds, hospitable staff and great restaurant with culinary gems. A wonderful place to get away and relax.
The location and restaurant are excellent! And it’s not far from Giethoorn if you wish to visit it one day. You can also rent bikes directly at the hotel. The staff is super friendly and helpful.
Everything. This place is simply amazing. We have visited many times and will return many more. The hotel is simply a beautiful piece of history that you can spend a few nights in, while enjoying amazing food and wine in the restaurant for dinner. The breakfast shouldn't be missed either.
Level of luxury for a very good price. Hotel rooms were very romantic and clean. Breakfast is recommended.
The hotel is truly magnificent. Beautiful building, rooms and staff are beyond professional and accommodating. My wife and I have travelled over 80 countries and the Chateauhotel De Havixhorst is likely the best accommodation we have ever had the privilege of visiting. And the restaurant and dining was just as exceptional. Truly a place worth making a special trip for.
Lush surroundings and garden. Good parking. Spacious room. Good breakfast.
Room was in the attic without daylight with basic equipment (e.g., no fridge). Restaurant aspires to haute cuisine offering mini portions at exorbitant prices. The whole place is a bit pretentious and over the top. Maybe interesting as a venue for a business retreat.
perfect location, very nice and professional staff, comfortable apartment, nature around, great breakfast. I recommend. will definitely come back here.
very clean and nice atmosfär
menu 6 courses was not worth of money, good but not excellent, lamb was much too salty, some courses taste nothing, need more taste
The staff are really friendly and helpful! Especially the gentleman who took care of us during dinner! he is so professional and pleasant! He also helped us with adding an extra bed for the kid! Really nice experience!
Nothing!
We had a real surprise when we booked at this lovely property. Straight after our arrival, we headed for the bar for a lovely pre-dinner appetitive. The bar was stunning in a classic, rustic kind of way. We then were guided to our table in the dining room and this is where the real magic started to unfold in front of our eyes, with the absolute highlight of a dish with smoked eel for two persons. I didn’t expect at all this culinary feast. The staff were engaging and very pleasant. In the morning we were able to have a lovely breakfast despite us being up at 6:30am. What a treat this has been. I will make a detour next time i am in The Netherlands to visit this lovely place again….
There was nothing we didn’t like
Scenographic chateau in a marvellous estate. Large room. Helpful and friendly staff.
really nice surrounding, nice bathroom
the sheets for the windows could have an upgrade
Nice Staff, Big rooms, great breakfast. i Will be back!
i was missing a salad or other light alternative to the fat and heavy food on the menu card
Location is great
The reception services and poor bed quality
Amazing little gem ?. Beautiful surroundings with great art. Really a place to get away from it all. Super friendly staff, feels like coming home. The restaurant has an excellent cuisine, my compliments for the chef. The duck liver in water melon still amazes me. And their wine selection is great. Price quality is top notch, am used to pay much more for this type of quality.Spacious, clean and luxurious rooms. A garden full with amazing statues. All in a setting of nature and tranquility. Never seen so many different species of birds in one place. Was there with my partner, who was flabbergasted by the romantic atmosphere.Certainly a place I will soon return to.
Nothing, excellent place.
