What makes the Achterhoek so special

The Achterhoek is not a landscape of sweeping vistas. It is a patchwork landscape: small fields, wooded banks, avenues, raised fields and streams that keep revealing new glimpses. Around Winterswijk, the Winterswijk National Landscape covers almost 22,000 hectares of this countryside. The region also has a rhythm of its own. From the first Sunday of Advent until Epiphany, the midwinter horn sounds here, a tradition that has been on the Dutch list of intangible heritage since 2013. And the name Achterhoek? It was first used by the poet Willem Sluiter. Museum De Scheper in Eibergen keeps regional literature, including works about him.

A small hotel in a large building

Anyone looking for small hotels in the Achterhoek is usually after something a chain cannot offer: a building with a story and people who recognise you. Our building was built in 1834 as a cotton weaving mill. Around 1900 it was Fabriek Prakke, and around 1970 the Gemavo engineering works, where many people from Eibergen worked. After the bankruptcy in 2001 it stood empty for more than fourteen years. In 2018 the doors opened again as a hotel; in 2023 the restaurant followed. The name comes from the row of chestnut trees that once stood in front of the building. Read the full story of the factory.

Six room types, from €69

All 28 rooms have a king-size box-spring bed, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi and a kitchenette with a fridge and tea and coffee. Beyond that, each is different. The comfort room features an original factory column from 1834. The luxury room is in the attic, with the black roof trusses on display. If you would like more space, choose one of the suites with a whirlpool bath or private sauna. A lift takes you to every floor. Accessible rooms are available on request.

Dinner without having to drive afterwards

The restaurant is in the same building. Lunch is served daily from 12:00 to 16:00, dinner from 17:00 to 21:00. From 19 October 2026 to 17 January 2027 there is a game menu, with game that largely comes straight from the hunter. After dinner you take the lift or the stairs to your room, and the car stays put until the next morning. If you would like to book dinner, room and breakfast together, choose our Dine & Stay package.

A base for exploring the whole region

From Eibergen it is a quarter of an hour’s drive to the fortified town of Groenlo or to Borculo. Neede is about 6 kilometres away, Haaksbergen in Twente 9. Winterswijk is about 25 minutes away, and Gronau in Germany half an hour. For a few places we have listed what there is to do, such as in Groenlo, the fortified town of the Siege of Grolle and in Winterswijk, with Villa Mondriaan and the National Landscape. Cyclists can store their bikes dry and safe and charge their e-bikes with us.
