Fantastic experience

We spent the weekend there to celebrate my husband’s birthday.
Everything was perfect. We had to pay extra for having a garden view but that was OK.
The spa facilities are amazingly relaxing.

wayyyy too busy plus service is appalling worst of all they don’t make burgers, not even for kids!!! the only good thing here is the rooms that’s it. the pool is also too small. i am extremely disappointed. and they also have a land rover mini car that ages 4-10 are allowed to use but 13 year olds not. this is appalling

Beautiful hotel, not your typical, outdated "Van der Valk." This hidden gem is located in the heart of the Veluwe and offers a cosy atmosphere with modern rooms, an indoor/outdoor pool, a sauna, and a lovely garden with sun beds.

Both breakfast and the three-course dinner were excellent, with plenty of options to keep everyone satisfied. Do not expect massive portions. The hotel cares about the environment, so order more if necessary.

Although everything looks spotless in the morning, the staff appears to go into stealth mode as the day progresses. Restocking, clearing empty glasses by the pool, and tidying up public spaces gradually fall off the radar which is sub par for a hotel of this caliber.

The gym equipment requires maintenance, as do the pool lockers, which are all u/s.

There’s also a big dilemma: The hotel seems to struggle with its identity. It needs to decide whether it’s a family-friendly place where kids can cannonball into the tiny pool and sneak around underwater with goggles, or if it’s the advertised wellness retreat with pool/sauna and garden that subtly suggests, “Maybe leave the kids at home.”

Van der Valk De Cathedral hotel in Apeldoorn is at a great location, close to Veluwe National Park. Hotel offers stunning views of the corn fields and flower farms. It offers plenty of options for outdoor activities, including hiking, biking (you can rent a bike from hotel), horse riding etc. Great place to stay at whether you are there for business or pleasure.

What an amazing hotel. Our first family holiday with a dog, our room opened up directly to the grassy area so easy. Our triple room was spacious, beds were firm and comfortable, clean, staff were friendly and helpful, great facilities. Great for one night but could stay longer, lovely setting, lots to explore.
