Landhuishotel de Bloemenbeek

This was our second time at De Bloemenbeek. In advance I had mentioned that my travelling partner has an allergy for garlic. They wrote that they already knew from last year. This made a very good impression. However when we were in the restaurant the first day, we got the starters, and my friend ask if there was any garlic in it, and there was. I don't know how this went wrong, but for a restaurant with Michelin star, you don't expect them to make any mistakes in this, but they did. I am generous to only deduct one point for that, because they rectified the mistake and adapted the menu for my friend. On the room we got a welcome message. It was personalised, I liked it. We had 2 days of great weather. It is so nice to sit outside here at 5 PM, and relax in the sun, and enjoy the peace and quite.

One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in (and I have been very lucky to stay in some amazing places around the world). The staff are superb and everything is elegant but not stuffy. It's refined but relaxed. The restaurant is out of this world and the wine list is second to none. I cannot fault a thing. Just wonderful. It is not cheap but, for a fine dining and luxurious spa experience I was amazed at what good value it is. Been twice and will definitely be back.

The Bloemenbeek is not a place where you would go for business. It targets older age people looking to relax in nature, the spa or play golf. The atmosphere is very homelike with a nice atmosphere. The bar and restaurant are well stocked and the menu is exclusive. The rooms make you feel at home, but the bathrooms are dated and feel cold (figurative) with their all white tiles, walls, ceiling, shower and bath. Even the towels don't break this. Staff is very friendly and will go the extra mile to make you happy. When there Internet was continuously breaking, making it hard to work. When available the speed was excellent though. Reported it to the staff and they would look into it

I stayed here for one night and was given a room which seemed styled in the 70's with cheap furniture and a rather uncomfortable and very low bed. The bar staff were rather miserable and certainly did not show much happiness serving you drinks. Food was not my cup of tea but others in our party enjoyed it. There are certainly better hotels that I have stayed in.

Due to a breakdown on our road trip we needed to find a hotel nearby at short notice that could book us in and by amazing good luck we happened to find this place. I cannot say enough good things about the hotel, the food and the staff. There was torrential rain when we turned up but the receptionist still insisted on coming out to help us carry our luggage. Because we turned up at short notice we had no restaurant booking and we don't eat meat, but the amazing chefs in their Michelin starred restaurant organised a fish and vegetarian based meal for us at incredibly short notice and it was stunning. The staff couldn't have been more helpful during our brief stay and I guarantee we will be going back. The rooms and the entire hotel are beautifully decorated and the entire atmosphere is calm and relaxing. We have been fortunate to stay in many wonderful hotels and guest houses around the world but this does everything just perfectly. It is classy and elegant without feeling stuffy or uptightand the is second to none.

I had booked this hotel after I had seen an advertisement from a Golf Travel Agency. Booking was done very well. They organise everything for you, even tee times for the golfcourses. The hotel is located on a small road with very little trafic, great for some peace and quite. Hotel room was comfy, especially the bathroom, which I assume was renovated, looked very nice. We had 2 diners in the restaurant in the hotel. Very good was that the allergy for my travelling partner that was mentioned at booking, was well recorded. My friend got all slightly different dishes where garlic was present. The restaurant is very good with great food and good staff. However I had 2 remarks which concern personal taste. On the first day we went for the fitting wines, but some of them were too cool. Even the red wine is cooled these days. Maybe other people like, but we did not. On day two we took a bottle of red and white wine, and they were not cooled on our request, which was much better. Second thing is minor, but I personally would like to see more light in the restaurant. I wouldn't say it was dark, but it was gloomy. Apparently it is done deliberatly to create an atmosphere. On saturday morning we went to the breakfast at the earliest hour to find out we were an hour too soon. The receptionist clearly told us breakfast was served at 7 AM, however we then found out this is only at weekdays, at weekend days it's 8 AM. Even though I don't find this a big issue, this kind of mistake rarely happens, and should not happen. For the golf fans, we booked Rijk van Sybrook and Twentsche. Both are not top courses, but they were fine, and surprisingly not busy in the weekend, which made it possible to complete the round in just 3 hours. Apart from the mistake with the breakfast hours, staff is very helpful and professional, and I found this a very good hotel with restaurant.
