Meetings with an overnight
stay in Drenthe

The 24-hour package starts at € 179,50 per person and the 32-hour package at € 219,50 per person, VAT included. That covers room hire, coffee and tea, a generous lunch, a three-course dinner, the overnight stay in a twin room with a private bathroom and breakfast. A single room (€ 18,50) and tourist tax (€ 2,95 per person per night) are charged separately.

The number of sessions in the meeting room. At 24 hours you start around midday and finish at twelve the next day: two sessions and one lunch. At 32 hours you start at nine in the morning and work through to around five the following afternoon: three sessions and two generous lunches. The overnight stay, dinner and breakfast are the same in both.

Yes. All 17 twin rooms have their own toilet, shower and washbasin; there is no shared sanitation in the corridor. That is the biggest difference from most conference centres and group venues. One ground-floor room is adapted for guests with a physical disability.

There are two rooms: the main hall for 8 to 36 people, in theatre, boardroom, U-shape or hollow square, and a separate meeting room for 20. If everyone stays the night, the accommodation takes up to 36 people across 17 twin rooms.

Midweek, yes. From Monday to Thursday we rent Orvelter Hof to one group at a time. The room stays exactly as you leave it, the morning's flip chart is still up in the evening, and nobody walks through your break. At weekends the house is more often booked by other groups — ask about availability.

Yes. Alongside the main hall there is a separate meeting room for 20 people — that's usually where the first subgroup goes. Beyond that you can use the bar, the games attic and the terrace. Tell us at the enquiry stage how many subgroups you expect and we'll keep those spaces free.

You can. We add a second night with an extra session of room hire, lunch and dinner, and price it per person in the quote. For programmes of three days or more we put together a schedule and a price to match.

Tell us at the enquiry stage and the kitchen cooks accordingly. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and allergies are no problem; we just want to know well in advance rather than at dinner.

In Witteveen, in the middle of Drenthe. About half an hour's drive from Assen, Emmen and Hoogeveen, and an hour from Groningen and Zwolle. Parking is free at the door. Public transport is harder; most groups come by car and share lifts.

Yes, two. The main hall — the farmhouse's living and dining area, which we convert into a layout for up to 36 people — and a separate meeting room with its own long table for 20. Midweek both belong to your group and you can use them at the same time: plenary in the hall, a subgroup in the meeting room. There is no surcharge for that.
