Holiday home for 12
A holiday home on one floor
Ruurd Doorten
Owner, Orvelter Hof
A holiday home for 8 to 12 people in Drenthe is something you will find on many holiday parks. Orvelter Hof is something different: a converted Drenthe farmhouse in Witteveen for groups of up to 36, which you also rent in full with a small group.
What is special about twelve people: the ground floor has exactly six twin rooms. So the whole group sleeps on one level, next to the living room, the kitchen and the terrace. For young children, grandparents or anyone with limited mobility, that makes all the difference.
To be honest: with twelve people you share the rent for a large house among few people, so per person it costs more than a holiday home on a park. In return, you have a second storey, a large hall and a games attic to spare.
Layout
The whole ground floor, six rooms
With twelve people you fill exactly the ground floor. The first floor stays empty, or you use it if you would rather sleep upstairs.
6 of the 6 rooms downstairs
Everything on one level
Meppen 1, Meppen 2, Witteveen 1, Witteveen 2, Zwigelte and Aalden. Zwigelte has adapted, wheelchair-accessible bathroom facilities; four rooms can also be used as family rooms.
6 of the 11 rooms upstairs
Or upstairs instead
If you would rather keep the ground floor free for what you do during the day, sleep on the first floor and choose six of the eleven rooms.
The whole first floor
Eleven rooms to spare
With the group downstairs, you have eleven empty rooms upstairs: a quiet place to read, work or have an afternoon nap.
Every room has box spring beds and its own toilet, shower and washbasin. A cot can be added for € 7.50.

Small group, big house
With eight to twelve people the house does not feel empty, just spacious. Everyone finds a corner of their own.
- 01
A smaller dining room
Next to the large hall there is a bright room with a dining table, for anyone who would rather not eat in the large hall.
- 02
Living room with bar
A large TV, a sound system and a bar with a draught system.
- 03
Games attic
Table tennis, games and a craft corner, for children or for a tournament after dinner.
- 04
Pitch & putt
Eighteen holes a few hundred metres' walk away, even for those who have never played golf.
What it costs
What twelve people pay
You rent the whole house for one price. Alongside is a two-night weekend for twelve people in the 2027 low season, with all compulsory costs.
A four-night midweek costs € 2,200 in rent in low season, less than a weekend, and comes to € 261 per person. For a small group, that is the cheapest choice.
Midweek, a shorter stay is sometimes possible for a smaller group. It depends on the calendar; feel free to ask.
