Kasteel De Vanenburg

Super very unexpected beautiful hotel. Like I am in south France.

Lovely, tranquil hotel in bucolic area. The rooms are in split bungalows off towards the outside of the property. Modern rooms are on the tight side- had a suite with fireplace, and a bathtub in the room. The beds were comfortable but pillows over stuffed and hard so had to use my travel pillow. The bathrooms were single sink with a large shower and modern toilet with built in fan. Everything in the suite is at an odd angle but a good set up. The fireplace is a vapor and light model. Cute. The two tvs (one on each side of foreplace) were odd as the one not watching would turn on at random times. Due to rain, we were unable to use the outside seating area but it was nice, surrounded by low lying hedges. Walk ways boarder the rooms so not absolutely private but the hotel is quiet. There is ample parking and possible to park smaller camper if needed. The estate is lovely. There is a trail around the main house for viewing there lovely plantings and specimen trees. There area is full of biking paths and the nearby town of Putten is adorable and has an excellent bakery (be sure to look for the good one which is on a corner at end of shopping street- the other bakery is commercial stuff).

Beautiful hotel with an interesting history. We stayed in a deluxe family room which gave us a little more space than usual in a hotel room. An outside seating area was also a bonus. The grounds are beautifully kept and worth exploring with a camera in hand. (I particularly enjoyed using the tree swing and I'm on the wrong side of 60!) Every member of staff we came across greeted us warmly and the breakfast ladies were a delight. There were weddings being held on both days we were there but there was no noise disturbance to other guests. Can't wait to return!

I stayed in one of the luxury (superior) suites. They may cost a bit more, but I think its worth it. A complete home from home. Everything you can expect, a great bed, a shower with lots of power. Some free drinks in the mini-bar. Fruit and nibbles on the table. A nice sofa to sit on. (I suspect it can be transformed into an extra bed). The room itself is a separate building. The more standard rooms of in small blocks of about five rooms. This gives plenty of privacy. The rooms all have private access from the beautiful gardens outside. What was nice to see was that everything was being well maintained. The gardeners were busy, the patios were being cleaned, etc. All the chairs in the restaurant had been renewed. A great time was had.

We stayed for a Saturday night away and had dinner in the restaurant as well. It was a very relaxing, refreshing escape. Our junior suite was spacious and comfortable, the grounds are lovely. Staff were professional if not openly friendly. Definitely recommended.

Walking “long distance routes” on the veluwe we stayed one night at Vanenburg. A beautifull “castle” near Putten surroundend by very nice gardens. The rooms are not in the mansion itself but at various locations; all bungalow like. We had the luxury suite with separate living room and a nice sun terrace. Very nice room and not expensive. Diner was good. Staff very friendly. On the backside: we were informed that they are closing their terrace in front of the building in the beautifull garden. They have renovated the brasserie and you can have your outdoor drinks over there. But that’s a stone courtyard with no views and uncomparable to the nice terrace near the main buiding with beautifull views on garden as well as castle. They should reconsider this. Apart from that an excellent place to stay.

The place looks really nice and the service is at a high standard. The room is comfortable and has everything you need. In some cases you might hear the noise from the other rooms but in general that is not a problem. I do recommend you to walk around as the nature there is beautiful. The food at their restaurant is great but pricey.

A hotel with a difference. Basically a converted mansion house, but still with all the elegance. The main building houses the restaurants and reception. This is surrounded by a very large garden. The guest rooms and meeting rooms are in small buildings distributed around the gardens. I can well imagine that it is an ideal location for all kinds of parties and weddings. We stayed in one of the deluxe range of rooms. The rather small bedroom was compensated by a roomy lounge. As expected, all facilities were available and everything was clean and in order. As all these rooms are on the ground floor they has a small teras where you can sit in the sun. The food in the restaurant was excellent. There is a very limited a-la-cart selection, but each day there is a different multi course meal from which you can select which courses you want to eat. The fact that the rooms are at a distance from the main building may be a problem for some people, but the hotel does have some electric buggies they use for all kind of purposes. I suspect they will help those that need it. If you are wondering what happens when it rains, there are umbrellas everywhere. All in all we had a very relaxing and enjoyable four days.

My friend and I booked a culinary deal and had a delicious 4 course diner, including prosecco. The ambiance was lovely, so was the service/staff. Our hotelroom was situated in the garden of the castle: we had a living room with a desk, a small table with chairs, a small fridge, coffee/tea making facilities. The bathroom was not big, but was clean and contained nice toiletries (rituals). The bed was very nice with a good matras. The breakfast buffet was the best I ever had: not only did they offer the standard breakfast items such as bacon and scrambled eggs, but they also served different types of granola and had a special tea corner with loose tea leaves and fresh ginger and licorice sticks. All staff working at both restaurants and at the reception were very friendly, which made us feel even more welcome. The price of the room, the 4 course dinner and the breakfast buffet was 104 euro per person. It was definitely worth it (and even more)!
