The Utrechtse Heuvelrug is known for its rolling landscape, expansive forests, and special flora and fauna. Our country estate hotel is an excellent base for walks, cycling trips, or those seeking silence who want to completely disconnect from the hustle and bustle for a while. In addition, the Utrechtse Heuvelrug National Park is within walking or cycling distance, allowing nature lovers to fully enjoy special places such as the Kaapse Bossen or the lookout tower near Doorn.

Our country estate hotel on the Utrechtse Heuvelrug is not a standard (chain) hotel, but a pleasant place on a beautiful estate. No large-scale setup or anonymous rooms here, but hospitality, comfort and a personal atmosphere. Our 113 hotel rooms are spread across the estate, in buildings each with its own story.

Each room is furnished with an eye for tranquility and simplicity. Do not expect excess, but rather those elements that contribute to a relaxing stay: a good bed, plenty of daylight, art on the wall and views of the forest. This makes us a popular hotel on the Utrechtse Heuvelrug for both leisure and business guests.

What you will also notice: there is space here. Our estate covers 24 hectares of greenery. But you will also notice and feel it in the layout, the furnishings and the atmosphere. You have space to unwind, to reflect or to recharge your batteries.
