Kasteel De Vanenburg

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.

Amazing facility… nice rooms surrounded by garden..

Loved the area arohnd it, so picturesque and beautiful.

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)!
