“Superb hotel - treat yourself!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 November 2010

I booked this castle hotel as a surprise for my partner and it didn't disappoint. We managed to get a good value 2 night package deal through the Sandton Hotels website which included dinner on the first night and cycle hire for day two.
We booked the mid-standard 'Kasteel Kamer' which was a suite style room with massive bed and very spacious en-suite room with bath/shower and twin sinks. There were quality complimentary toiletries provided and tea/coffee making facilities in the room. There was also a minibar but as I'm a typical Yorkshireman, I couldn't bring myself to pay the prices (2.50 Euro for a Mars bar I think, is a little excessive by anyones standards) but it made us smile/choke in equal amounts!
The hotel was once a convent and is set in its own grounds with plenty of free parking. It's located about 6 miles south west of Venlo on the edge of the village of Baarlo (pleasant enough for a stroll around). If you're travelling by train, you can take bus 77 from Venlo rail station (half hourly) which stops right outside the hotel driveway.

Meals are servied in the atmospheric conservatory style restaurant and the evening meal was superb. Breakfast was a very extensive Dutch buffet style and one of the best we have ever had.

We had a great, relaxing break which was just what we wanted and I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel.

“Charming hotel with excellent breakfast”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 October 2010

Hotel Château De Raay is a country estate originating from 1236. The estate served as a convent for nuns until 1999. Tastefully renovated in 2005 the hotel has very comfortable rooms in the old building as well as in the adjacent new wing.

The hotel is in a quiet area next to the woods and a great location if you want to make a bicycle tour. The room was nicely furnished and room and bathroom were impeccably clean. A good but rather soft bed and a Bose wave radio next to the bed. The buffet breakfast was outstanding.

Having dinner in the restaurant is worth the money. The service was excellent, the food very good.

“Great place on a beautiful spot in Limburg”

We stayed for 7 nights in this hotel during our summer holiday and it was perfect. Because we stayed a week we had chosen the presidentiil suite which was amazing. The room consisted out of 2 big rooms with a terrace . Big flatscreen tv in one of the rooms, wonderfull bed and the room we had had the Theme: Golf, which was represented in many ways in the room.

We had 3 diners in the restaurant and the service was excellent, the food perfect.
Great location if you want to ride a bike, do some hiking or drive by car to Maastricht, Breda or Germany

“What a wonderful experience”

This was the second time we went to Château de Raay, and we were not disappointed. The rooms are lovely, and the beds just heaven. What I like most about this hotel is that it is unique, full of little quirky details, which is what gives it its special atmosphere. I found the staff very friendly and helpful. Dinner, very tasty. Enjoy!

Just back from a fantastic stay. The hotel inside is just pure class. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Well worth the money and would go back there again in the morning.
This place has an impeccable service and great accommodations - not to mention the historical presence. We had a wonderful experience and plan to go back in the near future.
