AN IDEAL
OUTLOOK BASIS
Relax, relax and enjoy; that is what we offer. Just be taken care of, enjoy comfort and each other and the beautiful Veluwe nature with nice towns and villages nearby.
MONUMENTAL
ENJOY
Herberg de Zwaan is housed in a small monumental hotel built in 1882 in the heart of the authentic village of Elspeet on the Veluwe.
The property has been restored to its former glory both internally and externally. It features 13 rooms and a Spijslokaal. The Spijslokaal welcomes both inn guests and passers-by for a snack and a drink. The hotel functions again as it was designed; an inn where it is good to stay and where you are surrounded by the style and allure of the rich past. Enjoying the past with the luxury and comfort of today.
ENJOY ALL THE BEAUTY OF THE VELUWE
We offer an ideal base for the outdoorsman and bon vivant. Amid the forests, sand drifts and heathland around Uddel, Elspeet, Vierhouten and Nunspeet and the former Zuiderzee in the vicinity, the area offers many opportunities. With cities like the old fishing town of Harderwijk, the royal Apeldoorn and the fortified town of Elburg within (electric) cycling distance, make "de Zwaan" an ideal base to enjoy all the beauty and goodies that the Veluwe has to offer. On request we are happy to send our tips and hotspots that we have compiled, possibly with a guide, to unwind, relax and enjoy a few days off.
LET ME INTRODUCE
It's kind of "turning the rudder" for us. We have "gone over the hump" as the Elspeters say.
'We' are Erik and Petra van Wijk, raised in and around Nunspeet, Vierhouten and Elspeet. Erik has the hospitality blood of his grandfather, who moved from Amsterdam to Elspeet as a chef after the war. Petra comes from an entrepreneurial family. In recent years we draw more and more in the woods for long walks, which gives us much energy and tranquility by just one with the environment. Both of us were seized by the opportunity to connect our experience in the hospitality industry with this ancient property surrounded by beautiful nature and to share this with you: a welcoming place where you can unwind, relax and enjoy what is.
