I stayed in a charming castle room with a lovely view of the grounds and lake. The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. I enjoyed the convenience of having tea and coffee facilities in the room. The breakfast had a great selection, including hot scrambled eggs. The hotel is located in a quiet area with beautiful surroundings. I had a great stay and would recommend it.

Staff were often not really up to the job I am afraid.

Initially we were shown a room that was tiny, so small in fact that the double bed was against one of the walls.

Location is good, as is the outside and inside of the hotel, apart from the rooms.

The rooms are pretty old fashioned, not in a romantic way. There's no toilet and shower in the room (as mentioned beforehand). This is not a big deal since they're located in the hallway. However, there's only one toilet (multiple showers) which is not very good when it's busy.

The Castle and grounds are stunning. Exceptional meals at the restaurant. Friendly and helpful staff. Great beds and location. Enjoyable breakfast with plenty of selection. Historic property with robes and slippers provided. Set in nice, quiet grounds. Interesting nearby town to explore.

Can honestly say there wasn't anything not to like.

The castle is beautifully situated and really close to De Zwaluwhoeve Wellness centre, which is where we went during the day. Spending the night at Kasteel de Essenburgh was the perfect endig to a relaxing day. And a great start of the next morning. The hotel provides a nice breakfast and directions if you like to take a walk around the property which we did and which I can recommend. Then we finished with a nice cup of coffee on their sunny terrace.

The shower (private) and toilets (shared) are in the hallway and not in the room, so some may find that a problem. The hotel keeps everything tidy though and provides a robe and slippers for walking to and from the facilities.

Beautiful and picturesque estate with mesmerising outside seating. Rooms have castle flair and are clean and comfortable. Friendly staff and grand, good breakfast. Good selection of food and historic decor. Nice wooded grounds and atmosphere. Walking distance to lovely spa. Amazing location surrounded by green property, feels remote. Heard birds and saw deer, enjoyed nice walks. Nice terrace, lunch, and service. Short drive or walk to sauna. Great!

We were not really in the castle but in a part called the hoeve. The beds were not very good, too soft. Television was very limited for NL. You could really hear the neighbors. Shower was just ok. When asking I found out that rooms in castle did not even had bath and toilet in the room. Restaurant food was excellent and waitress was very nice.

We stayed in a castle turned hotel, with wonderful grounds, and lots of tourist activities close by. The sea was just a short walk away, and the beaches were full of natural beauty. The rooms were well-decorated and comfortable, filled with modern conveniences. Our family enjoyed the complimentary breakfast, and the staff were friendly and accommodating.

The carpets in the room were extremely dirty, and hadn't been cleaned in quite some time.

The restaurant is excellent for a good price- Round 20 euros for the main course.

The beautiful surroundings, as expected for a castle. The area was very quiet, no noise from railway, road oe whatsoever

The room was very moderate and small, but clean

Surrounded by a beautiful garden and ancient trees, this hotel is a peaceful oasis. The team goes out of their way to ensure a refreshing stay. Close to attractions, with free bike rental and delicious meals.

I was disappointed not to sleep in the garden.

It was a perfect place to get away, but the luxury as shown on the site is not how we experienced it. ''Staying in a castle'' but then in a room with no atmosphere of a castle. A pity! Not as romantic as written in the description.

Reasonable price, impressive castle-like building in quiet nature scenery. Driving up the entrylane makes you feel majestic.

Once through the classic building and hallways, all glamour and magic is lost with uninspired, small, and lifeless rooms and bathrooms.

Spent Easter in a fairytale castle. The location of the hotel was perfect for a peaceful getaway, surrounded by nature, the perfect place to unplug. The castle interiors were breathtaking and gave us a sense of luxury. The best aspect was the variety of activities we got to enjoy in and around the castle, such as taking walks in the gardens and admiring the animals around the estate. We also had access to a spa where we enjoyed a soothing and relaxing massage.

Some of the rooms lacked natural light, making them very dimly lit. One of the facilities we were looking forward to using was closed during our stay, which was a bit disappointing.

The hotel is situated near the forest, which was fantastic for hiking and exploring the outdoors. The continental breakfast was delicious and fresh, with a wide variety of options. the friendly and helpful staff made our stay comfortable and enjoyable.

The cleanliness of the rooms left much to be desired. The carpets were stained and felt grubby, and the walls were scuffed and in desperate need of a new coat of paint.
