Just ok

Liked: It is hidden away in the woods and quite area.
Disliked: You could hear all the noise. The curtains brought in a lot of sun at daybreak. Why not offer a double bed duvet ? We had 2 single separate duvets for a double bed.

It was a calm and...

Superb

a remarkable and beautiful place...

Liked: the whole place was wonderful. The historic Monastery buildings are beautiful, warm brick work and at grand scale. The gardens were splendid too, 3 m high clipped hornbeam. The Restaurant is i believe in the monastic refectory and is huge with timber ceiling and beams. High arched windows, leaded glasswork and tapestries give a very grand scene. My meal was excellent and measured up to the environment. I liked the modern study bed room i had for one person. this was in a new building on the site of lost original barns. The Nordic whiteness was softened by finely embossed lining paper. A coloured engraving on the wall gave a birds eye view of the extent of the original Monastery. All very excellent. By chance I found a working Windmill at Weelde. It is run by volunteers every Thursday evening and Sunday morning. It also has a beer club under the working grindstones ! This is of course a Belgium windmill.
Disliked: small damage to shower room basin. But not a problem.

Very nice hotel (if you...

Liked: Fantastic location in the middle of nature/fields/farms, few minutes away from the motorway but very quiet. Great to walk around with your dogs.We arrived after 6pm so the reception was already closed but got good instructions where to get a key from the key box. Very straightforward.There was a coffee machine in the room but did not use it.Wonderful welcome gift for my furbabies (small bag of treats)Very comfy and soft beds.Despite the negatives I think we will visit again.
Disliked: Rooms were pretty hot and there was no air conditioning.Windows did open but you could hear the music and the fireworks till early morning as there was some kind of a function going on.We stayed in schuur1 and unfortunately some blokes were smoking cigarettes in their rooms so the whole complex smelled pretty badly.The grounds definitely cater for big functions so I guess the little people (tourists) are not on the top of the list.
