DE HAVIXHORST

Eating, sleeping, celebrating, relaxing. Your wedding day, your way. There are very few places in the Netherlands as charming as the De Havixhorst estate, situated in the southernmost part of Drenthe. Come and experience our unique Chateauhotel and restaurant.
And once you’re here, why not treat yourself to a stroll around our grounds after a romantic candlelit dinner. The following morning, take a relaxing walk through the Reestdal or maybe venture further afield into the green surroundings of Drenthe and Overijssel.

Our hotel

Restaurant

The space alone says it all: smart tables, candlelight, a welcoming ambiance. It’s not at all difficult to feel relaxed here. Our head chef carefully selects the best local ingredients. Fruit and vegetables from small farms dotted around the ancient cultural landscape of the De Reest river. The finest meat from local game, Zuidwold mangalitza, tender Hoogveen lamb or our own Scottish Highland beef, full of flavour.

Our dinner menu

Lounge and terrace

Our cosy lounge is the perfect place for a hot cup of coffee and pastry or a cheeky aperitif after a brisk walk in the fresh country air. What was once a sophisticated anteroom for the noble de Vos van Steenwijk family now houses our barista’s quietly bubbling espresso machine. A warm summer’s day? Then let us serve you a lunch of our traditional yet refined Drenthe culinary fare on our spacious outdoor terrace in the courtyard.

Rooms

Staying in one of the suites at the Chateauhotel De Havixhorst is always a treat, regardless of which of our 13 rooms you book. What they all have in common is a slightly distinguished nostalgia, suggestive of a real castle, with which no modern hotel can compete. All equipped with modern conveniences, including sleek, stylish bathrooms and a luxurious hotel bed.

COVID-19

We are (exclusively) open for hotel guests.

We also serve breakfast, lunch and dinner for our hotel guests. However, not in our restaurant, but in the hotel room. We follow the guidelines of our government, whereby hotel guests can only collect meals from our kitchen. We will therefore not offer room service either. The restaurant, gardens and sculpture garden will remain closed to other guests, certainly until mid-January. We will apply this policy very strictly, in order to guarantee the necessary space and safety for our hotel guests both inside and outside.

GAULT MILLAU 2020

14 Gault Millau Points.

The acclaimed critics of Gault Millau honored us with a beautiful entry in the 2020 edition. According to them you will experience ultimate hospitality at De Havixhorst. This compliment touched our gastronomical hearts!

It is possible to book many extra's with your hotel room?

For example, we will happily provide a bottle of Champagne on the room before arrival or, in case you would like to surprise your partner, decorate the room with rose petals. How about a wine tasting with local Dutch cheeses in our wine cellar? Or something more functional, extra beds in the hotel room? Do you have different requests? Please let us know!
