Review of Kasteel Engelenburg

A really lovely old castle/manor house. Our suite was in the orangery building, very spacious, with its own terrace. The garden/park looks wonderful during early hours. Unfortunately the decor looks really dated. Our bathroom had a frieze with elephants and zebras - kind out of place in the Netherlands, right? The owner is somehow connected to South Africa, but do the guests have to have a safari experience in their bathrooms?
The salon in the castle looked really bad, maintenance seems to be a problem. The restaurant is good, wines (all South African) great. During breakfast, a waiter was re-filling the cutlery drawers of a sideboard (very noisy). Is this necessary?
