What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Built in 1927 as a country estate farmed under lease from the neighboring Twickel Castle, Hoeve de Haar later served as a hunting lodge for the Stork manufacturing family, a dual history that earned it its national monument status.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Walking trails wind through the surrounding Twickel estate woods, and a footpath leads straight to the neighboring golf club.
The rooms
Rooms open directly onto the grounds through private exterior doors, each finished in a single shade like ochre or deep red.
At the table
Breakfast buffets are laid out beneath chandeliers and timber posts, beside doors opening onto the estate garden.
