Comfort room

The Comfort room is smaller than the Deluxe, but certainly no less special. You sleep in one of the historic staff houses of the former hospital complex, surrounded by details that make the past tangible.

Cosy sleeping under the old roof beams

Two of the four Comfort rooms sit under the beams of Toewijding, the former home of the medical director. Cosy rooms on the top floor, reached by two staircases. The other two are on the ground floor of Plichtgevoel, the pharmacist's house, arranged en suite.

In every room you will find traces of the original use. Not a museum piece, but a place where you can truly relax.

  • Free parking, with 2 charging points
  • Views of the historic inner courtyard, vegetable garden and centuries-old trees

The most affordable way to sleep in a monument

Looking for a hotel in Veenhuizen without giving up character? The Comfort room is more compact than the Deluxe room, but sits in the same listed 1893 houses and offers the same breakfast, the same beds and the same quiet.

Two Comfort rooms are tucked under the beams of Toewijding, once the home of the medical director. The other two are on the ground floor of Plichtgevoel, arranged en suite with a view of the kitchen garden.

  • From € 130 per night, always including breakfast buffet
  • Sleeps 2
  • Attic rooms or en suite rooms on the ground floor
  • Quiet setting at the edge of the village

Ideal for a short break in Drenthe

Many guests book a Comfort room for a midweek or weekend break in Drenthe: walking in the Fochteloerveen, cycling along the Colonies of Benevolence and dinner in the restaurant at night. Reserve dinner together with your room to be sure of a table.

Travelling with children or with more than two people? Take a look at our apartments on the first floor of the former hospital.
