Amatisse Groepsaccommodatie - Oude Peelstraat 1

An old monastery, now in service as a group accommodation

Very nice place with a beautiful courtyard. The (new) owners are very friendly and hospitable and respect your privacy. In addition to enough bedrooms, the building also has two large multifunctional rooms, highly recommended for workshops and such!

We had a family weekend with 13 people and we liked it. An interesting location with plenty of parking space outside and a spacious garden. Inside a lot of space, many bedrooms and comfortable beds. In addition, there are many games and a ping pong table, so in bad weather there is also a lot to do inside.

A beautiful large building. A "jumble" of stairs and doors leads you through the entire building. Lots of space in terms of rooms and garden. The dining / living room may be a bit too small for 14 people ..... But it is cozy. The same goes for the kitchen. It's just going. We were lucky to be able to BBQ in October so that we didn't really have to cook in the kitchen. The first night we were there we only had to heat up food and then the large stove incl oven is of course very practical. The only thing that needs to be replaced is the dishwasher. Only long programs. A short program for after breakfast and coffee would be so practical. The welcome was with a tour and explanation about the building a warm and additional plus ... the delicious cream cake that was ready in the refrigerator. The bedrooms are all but one on the floors. We have not heard anyone complain about bad beds. So they are good ;-) A big plus is the "relaxation room". A large room with table tennis table, games, yoga equipment, shuffleboard etc. If there is anything to complain about, it is only the fact that there is only 1 table. The bathrooms and toilets are almost all on one side of the building. Fits into the atmosphere of the building. Not super modern. Simply functional. The garden is half accessible. The other half is private. Enough seating. Quite sloping terraces. We had a wonderful weekend !!!

Beautiful monastery atmosphere and nice and spacious if you are with 6 people. Pretty complete inventory and very nice beds in simple monastery rooms. Games room makes it fun/unique. But there are also areas for improvement: * The location is in the small village of Helenaveen, but on the main road. When a truck passes by, the windows on the street side vibrate. There is a church 50 meters away, which strikes every half hour....(and a lot more on Sunday morning when the service starts) * In season there are quite a lot of mosquitoes, flies, knots and even wasps. We suspect a wasp nest in the garden. We kept the conservatory open because of the warm weather, but then you need a fly swatter... * there is no air conditioning, and especially in the attic it gets very hot in the summer. Sleeping with windows open is an option for few, because of the mosquitoes. * Not everything works, is clear, or is whole. For example, we couldn't get the oven to work, the gas on the bbq had run out and the lights above the sink didn't work. Also the net of the ping pong table was broken and some games not complete. * The most beautiful room (BG) is the coolest and has an 'en suite' bathroom. However, the mixing system of the water pipe is not good: every shower becomes a kind of alternating bath with cold and hot. * The owner lives in a separate part of the monastery, but you share the water supply. For example, if the owner is doing laundry (at night), you can hear it in the bedroom due to the thumping water pipe.
