Family weekend
“The location is wonderful, beautifully set amidst nature. Plenty of space both indoors and outdoors.”
The perfect group accommodation
“A tradition for a few years now: a lovely annual winter weekend together with a large group of friends (9 families). A spacious venue where young and old have a great time. Cooking and preparing meals ourselves, with everything you need in the large kitchen. Private luxury rooms with en-suite bathrooms, combined with the cosiness of a large living room with a bar, and a children's playroom upstairs to keep the kids entertained.”
Absolutely wonderful
“Orvelter Hof is a beautiful venue! We celebrated our wedding here and it was absolutely fantastic. Everyone was very happy. Having breakfast provided for all guests on Sunday was lovely too. Nice rooms, a beautiful indoor space with a bar, and a lovely garden. The weather was good so we spent most of our time outside, but it is lovely inside as well. No request was too much, pleasant communication and a very kind owner. We recommend it to everyone.”
Wonderful!
“Spacious, welcoming, and you can barbecue indoors. Our stay at Orvelter Hof was wonderful. Being able to barbecue inside (in the group room) was ideal because of the weather. The host thinks along with you and is very friendly and helpful. It is very spacious, so even with a large group you can find quiet spots.”
