Excellent location and cozy atmosphere, but overpriced with small rooms that lack basic amenities
Pros:

The food was genuinely great. The location is hard to beat, right on the edge of the National Park de Hoge Veluwe, which makes it perfect if you want to get straight into nature.

The vibe is cozy but modern, which we liked a lot. It feels relaxed and comfortable rather than fancy. Most of the staff were friendly and helpful too.

Cons:

While we’ve enjoyed staying here in the past, there were several points this time that left us disappointed.

First, the price–quality ratio does not feel right. We paid €258 (including breakfast) for one night for two people, and the room was extremely small. It was not located in the main Lodge building, but in the separate Woonhuis — something that was not clearly communicated in advance. For this price, we would have expected more comfort and amenities. There was no kettle or coffee machine, no minibar, and barely any proper closet space. Hanging clothes was difficult, and overall the room felt too compact for a comfortable stay. In addition, the room was poorly insulated and very noisy; we could clearly hear the upstairs neighbors throughout the evening, which was disruptive.

We also booked via Booking.com, where the distinction between the Lodge (the main building with the restaurant and lounge) and the separate building is not clearly explained. If you are booking, it’s worth paying close attention to this. Staying in the separate building means walking through the woods in the dark to reach the main facilities, which is not ideal, especially at night.

Another issue was communication regarding dinner reservations. Because we booked through Booking.com, we did not receive any reminder to reserve a table in advance. Upon arrival, only one table was available at 17:00. While the staff helped us find a solution, we were surprised that hotel guests do not automatically receive clearer guidance or priority when it comes to dining availability.

In general, the staff were friendly and helpful, particularly in resolving the dinner situation. However, when we shared our feedback about the room, the noise, and the Booking listing, the response felt dismissive. Being told that we “should have booked directly” did not feel constructive.

Nice hotel but not in winter
Pros:

Very nice hotel in the middle of the trees. The staff is very kind and helpful.

Cons:

I normally don't leave bad ratings. The problem with the "atelier" room is that the heating is inefficient. I was too cold and had to keep my pullover on to sleep. There is a problem of conception with the heat pump that was not installed in the right part of the room. Perhaps it would have been better on a warmer day...

Heerlijk om weer eens in Otterlo te zijn.
Pros:

De lodge aan de rand van het bos en de heide is prachtig. We kenden de locatie al en het hotel maar in oude vorm. Het is goed gerenoveerd en heeft gelukkig wel ook de oude sfeer behouden.

Cons:

Onze kamer in de top (nr 15) werd verwarmd met de airco, niet de meest prettige luchtstroom. We hebben deze dan ook 's nachts uitgezet maar toen werd het ook echt koud. Geen koffie of theefaciliteiten op de kamer is jammer en het is ook echt een kleine kamer. Ik had voor het uitzicht wel om deze kamer gevraagd. Het is behoorlijk prijzig en dan verwacht je net iets meer luxe.

Pros:

mooie locatie
kleinschalig, mooi ingericht, superaardig personeel, goede bedden, badkamer, lekker eten

Cons:

erg gehorig, ook van personeel zelf als je slaapt in een kamer boven het restaurant/terras.
bij binnenkomst erg koud in de kamer, maar vlot opgewarmd.
jammer dat je geen thee of koffie kan maken op de kamer.
na 23u gaat deur dicht en is er helemaal geen personeel. je kan dan alleen noodtelefoonnummer bellen.
