Carelshaven

Carelshaven has been there as long as I can remember. However since 5 years it changed ownership and the new management have been renovating both the hotel and restaurant. There is also a new chef in town, and we've been hearing great reviews. So time to check it out. Ambience is great, traditional (in line with history of the place) with a modern touch and tables are placed such that there is enough privacy and intimacy.
We choose the specialty menu (you can choose up to 8 courses), and we were not disappointed. I will name two highlights: ox tale with coquilles, a surprising combination. Also the chocolate with beet root desert was delightful! Pretty sure if they keep this up they will be recognized with some awards pretty soon.

Highly recommended. Have been there and stayed on numerous occasions. Great owners and staff. Love it, Love them all, food and rooms included.

Relaxing place to stay.. friendly people. The food is bonkers, high brow, engineered. This is great for an "experience" though they could do with some bar snacks and simpler options.

Great food. A nice place to stay if you are near Hengelo. Do not miss the dinner.

Super place to stay around

We had some lovely time here, it’s next to a hiking trip into an adjacent forest, which is breathtaking, there an old wood cutting factory nearby that you can visit, very affordable price for anybody, but the most important part is the quietness of the place, very comfortable and clean, the breakfast is good, and the view from the restaurant is really lovely and soothing, nearby town of Oldenzaal is a nice place to visit (very old town with warm atmosphere).

Wonderful place, relaxing atmosphere, friendly, efficient staff. Lovely rooms, very comfortable.

Verry nice rooms. Modern and nice looking

De moeite waard om naartoe te gaan! Mooie kamers, heerlijk diner & ontbijt. Goede service ook. Auto makkelijk te parkeren. Heerlijke wijn. Ga zeker nog een keer terug!

Maaltijden subliem, kundig personeel. Voor een Michelin ster nog een stapje te maken.
