We had a lovely time at this hotel. The setting is beautiful, there's a nice (secret) aroma in the hotel when you arrive, the decorations are unique and attractive, etc. You feel like you're in a special place.
The room was spacious and nicely prepared. The bathroom was well appointed with Rituals products. We had nice bathrobes for the wellness center. There were separate devices for coffee and tea (tea-lovers understand). And we had a nice little patio where we would sit in the sun and relax with our dog.
The location is in a really beautiful part of the Netherlands and directly out the front door, you have access to gorgeous walking trails and biking routes that take you to nice places. The grounds of the castle themselves are quite attractive too. And sitting on their terrace in the sun with a nice drink is a perfect way to close out the day.
The breakfast buffet is well done and very much worth it, with lots of special local treats and plenty of fresh everything. But the Bistro and the Restaurant at the hotel were severely understaffed and this led to seriously BAD service. In fact, the service at the restaurant was so bad, it ruined our evening. (2 hours to get our entrees, and then they get the orders wrong; not asking for drinks a 2nd time; not completing requests for bread; etc. - really bad service)
We would go back to the hotel (and probably will). It's great. We won't go back to their trying-to-be-swanky, traditionally-focused restaurant, cause they can't do it well enough.
