BOOKING
Historie
The history of De Havixhorst goes back to the Middle Ages. Farmers settled on the high land on the banks of the Reest stream, that since time immemorial has formed the boundary between the provinces of Drenthe and Overijssel. One of these old settling-places (horsten) developed into one of the largest estates in Drenthe: De Havixhorst. The castle there has been in the possession of the family De Vos van Steenwijk since the 17th century, for more than three hundred years. In 1982 this historical building was completely restored for exclusive use as château-hotel and –restaurant.
Accommodation and Prices
The castle counts eight very roomy, exclusive, and unique suites.
From € 185,00 per night on the basis of double occupancy. Full breakfast € 17,50 per person.
A stylish dinner, of top quality, awaits you in the restaurant. The coach-house, counting-house, the horst room, and the arboretum, all on the hotel grounds, are roomy meeting-halls equipped with all modern facilities.
Groups from the very small to even around 500 persons can gather here for parties, weddings, product presentations, and other events and meetings.
Various alternate lodging arrangements are available on request.
Location:
Woods are everywhere in the immediate neighborhood, so that the possibilities for biking and hiking are endless. Both the Giethoorn marsh area and extensive bird-nesting meadows lie only a few kilometres away, as does the stork gathering-place De Lokkerij. De Havixhorst can organize a coach-trip into the woods with picnic basket for you. Several golf courses are also in the area.
