Landgoed Ekenstein Review

Remains nice to stroll around here. Let's try to maintain this kind of place, there is so much to enjoy in places like this, while it doesn't take much at all.

Nice ambiance
Good food and drinks

A great discovery, timed as back as 1671 this hotel has quite a history behind it. Located in a wonderful scenic place just outside Appingedam i stayed there there for just one night. Room was very clean, spacious and the bathroom was alot better than expected. Had a little trouble with the bed but am guessing this was just me trying to get used to somewhere else other than my bed. Staff was really friendly, breakfast quite filling and lunch was very good. I was also amazed to see that it is well reccomended by Michellin stars. There is a huge forest behind the hotel where you can easily walk and enjoy the view.

a beautiful country house in the green. Nice short walking routes through the landscape garden designed by Roodbaard. High tea excellent: Delicious petit fours, sandwiches, scones, bonbons, tiramisu etc etc too many to mention. Friendly staff.

Great atmosphere and flair, not least because of the park, which is located around the estate. A very tasty high tea in a great fireplace room, which we also spontaneously enjoyed (without reservation). Also totally in price. Our room (in the bay window on the first floor with a great view) also totally fine, with a very well equipped bathroom. In short, there was really nothing to complain about.

Beautiful property in beautiful grounds.
We had a delicious meal there and were helped by a super service
The bill was not too bad for us.

Impressive, very nice rooms, restaurant in my opinion first class

Excellent operation and Corona rules were clearly explained

Enjoy a walk, heron and crow's nest and watch, pick up chestnuts and have a delicious lunch, brunch or a nice drink. Nice petting zoo with playground for the little ones. Somewhat corny, little maintenance but cute

I was there for a wedding, very nice and everything is well organized. Nice location, friendly staff.

Great old country house with park and hotel. Great kitchen.

Great food and nice rooms. Super estate where you can walk nicely. Very beautiful but lots of crows.

Brilliant location. Beautiful walk on good paths in the estate. 4 course dinner is highly recommended. In short, even for a dog an excellent location. Very friendly and attentive staff.

A beautifully quiet little hotel in an old historic country house, very tastefully decorated and an absolutely excellent service also dogs are welcome. I used it as a stopover but will definitely come back again

Nice area! Too bad that the children's farm is not open on weekends, missed opportunity!

Just enjoyed cycling to Ekenstein, and made a nice walk there. The petting zoo was unfortunately closed, but we did walk past the ponies and deer. It was great to have a break from it!

I don't agree with the other reviews. good food for a reasonable price and you can walk great !!

Not to eat bad rooms for 99 euros you expect a bit more but it was very but also very bad, for the rest the service was also not exactly friendly, the smell is stale inside not really nice it also looks not particularly clean out, a no go so everyone doesn't go.

It looks pretty old, not really my style. There is also an air conditioner missing in the meeting room. From the outside it looks nice and it is wonderfully quiet!

Needs to keep a lot of neighboring maintenance clean

Bit dated, small room.
Lovely staff, slept very well in the heat wave; room on the shadow side, in the green.
Delicious breakfast on the terrace, without flies / mosquitoes or the like

For Holland a cheap hotel. Very friendly staff and good breakfast

Hotel Ekenstein is located in a stylish national monument on the Ekenstein Estate. Great stay and friendly hospitable staff and owners. Splendid terrace in the green. Delicious outside dining tables also covered with white linen!

A beautiful estate with a good restaurant. The atmosphere during sunny periods is great, sitting outside looking at the building. Great for a walk on the jet estate, to eat afterwards. The kitchen is good.

Atmospheric and hospitable hotel and a beautiful wooded area

What a beautiful place! The Wi-Fi connection may be a little better. I did a presentation through a Prezi and then stable internet is very important. A very inspiring location !!!!

Been there again after 55 years. As a child I often went there. They had a playground there and I remember peacocks. Still. Beautiful country house to visit anyway and have a nice coffee. A beautiful walk oo.

Especially in the summer a wonderful place to enjoy among the trees.

Nice place for a high tea. Nicely cared for in a beautiful atmosphere

As a meeting location outdated and not clean and up to date. The hotel section no experience with that.

In everything: moderate. Lounge like a funeral center, entrance covered with leaflets, room so on.

Delicious eaten. Beautiful location and super service. Recommend

Great employees and well received !! A well-kept place with good food.

Walked into the kitchen by accident and by accident, very shocked. Old and polluted, unfortunately we had already ordered. Had two bites, taste was not too bad, but the hunger was gone.

Beautifully located just outside appingedam various activities and options for eating, drinking, staying the night, buffets and meetings in one of the many rooms are some of the options definitely worth exploring the area and appingedam by bike or on foot. In the immediate vicinity there is the possibility to camp. Nothing like Groningen.

The area around the restaurant is very nice for walks or a visit to the small petting zoo with small playground. But our experience with the restaurant was really less. We were not greeted on arrival, it did not look inviting, and there was a lot of uncertainty about where we were allowed to sit. It was a little too fresh outside so we move inside. Our "waiter" passed us by, she didn't even recognize us from the terrace and we had to indicate that we were going from the outside to the inside. It was definitely not busy (we were the only one inside, and the second on the terrace), so we can't blame it on this. Again no inviting appearance, it smells musty, the decoration and atmosphere really leave something to be desired!
The food was good in itself, just a pity that my husband and son got their food first and I got it later.
We are absolutely not mosquitoes or people who have anything to complain about, so even for our "normal" standard it just wasn't good. So we did not give a tip either.
We do not come back here for a snack and / or drink.

Nice place for a walk and a cup of coffee on the terrace

Hotel in a historic building with more recent additions. Looks a bit neglected. Very small room with small TV that worked badly. Friendly staff, good breakfast. Dinner in 2 beautiful historic rooms. From the hotel you walk directly into the forest with hiking trails.

An old house with estate. Enjoyed a nice brunch. The forest needs maintenance.

Nice stay, good room, good breakfast and committed and polite staff. Dinner perfect. Like to come again.

Very wonderful estate with many possibilities for great food and walking in the nature. The neighborhood is quiet because you don't end up there by accident.

Took a break during a motorcycle ride. Very quiet, but beautiful

Beautiful estate with a perfect opportunity to take a walk with a drink afterwards.

Yes, just to pick up a terrace is nice there too ..

If you like rural, you will love the hotel. The hotel in the old mansion style is located in a secluded wooded area and therefore it is very quiet there. The hotel has plenty of parking, so even large XXL Sprinter can easily park there. Downstairs in the hotel is a restaurant with outdoor terrace. The breakfast has everything you could expect in the medium standard (bread, rolls, sausage, cheese, jam, boiled eggs, scrambled eggs (real egg), bacon (which was probably afraid of the pan), cereal and even fresh fruit salad with yogurt) ... you can not complain. The rooms have what you need and even a small fridge (mini bar). Wifi is free. Although the rooms are cleaned every day, but not too thoroughly as you can see in the photos ... and a minus point. Bottom line ... ok for Dutch, rural conditions and prices.

Very nice for the little ones, a small number of animals. Nice playground there is case.

Nice hotel, with funny and wonderful corridors, corners and stairs. Room 6 is heavenly ...
Delicious breakfast, beautiful and rural surroundings.

Everything is very outdated and is not kept up to date. Pity.

A very nice place to be.
But it could use some love

Good food and drinks and pleasant, friendly service.

No drinks menu available on the terrace. This is definitely a loss! Furthermore, a beautiful location, but there is certainly some maintenance to be done in and around the property.

Langoed in a forest. very good crockery and a neat clean room.

Delicious eaten in the garden.
Nice and quiet location

La Belle Epoque, restaurant of the estate and hotel Ekenstein. Tasty and good food in a quiet area in front of the fireplace. Food is good and plenty of choice for both food and matching drinks. Staff is friendly and helpful. Most guests are hotel guests. Enough parking spaces and easy to find for me. Price is average. Will I come back here again? Probably but then somewhere in the summer so that we can sit outside.

From the moment I entered, I were treated like royalty. The staff were fantastic with a smile and the service was impeccable.
Third time staying here and would recommend again and again.
Staff really prepared to go the extra mile for the guest.
