Zoomers Aan Het BOS

My husband and I spent 3 delightful days at the Huize Koningsbosch. We wanted a place surrounded by nature for a few days following a week away before returning home. The attentive staff was delightful, informative, and treated all guests with great care. Lois welcomed us during our check-in with a refreshing flavored water which guests can serve themselves throughout the day. We appreciated Killian's knowledge of gins, and Melisa was always charming at breakfast. The star of the show is Jonas the unassuming manager who took the time to explain to me how the hotel had earned their very high designation for sustainability in The Netherlands. They've gone to extraordinary measures to make their hotel a model for others and still maintain the utmost comfort for the guests. Jonas also remembered I had called a month prior to see if their restaurant could accommodate me, a vegetarian. The restaurant could indeed accommodate me (with advanced notice) and the 5 course meal was outstanding! I was happy to find the chef at the end of the evening and personally thank him and his assistant. Our room had a lovely zen feel and I slept like a baby on their comfy beds. The bathroom was large and modern. The lobby has a wonderful collection of art, history, and local books. They have a book with all sorts of maps and information on Castricum, the North Holland Province. Behind the hotel you can access trails through the Noordhollands Duinreservaat (North Holland Forest and Dune Reserve Nationalk Park) which is absolutely magnificent. We purchased tickets at the front desk when we arrived at the hotel. One of the days we hiked all the way to the ocean and back (moderately challenging). What a treat it was to see the wild Scottish Highland cattle enjoying a lovely afternoon by a lake! The Huize Koningsbosch was a most welcoming and wonderful place and we look forward to returning one day again.

A group of 10 of us stayed here for 4 nights for a business retreat. The staff were so friendly and accommodating for our every need. The rooms were very spacious and comfortable with nice artistic themes to each room. The facilities for business meetings were perfect for our small group. They have a lovely courtyard/beer garden and there are nice walks through the woods to the beach right behind the hotel.
