3-star hotels in Woudenberg
A shortlist of the 3-star hotels in Woudenberg, one on Stationsweg Oost and one on Klein Moorst. It is for travellers who want a simple, well-rated base in this green village between Amersfoort and the Utrechtse Heuvelrug.
Staying in Woudenberg
Woudenberg is a village of a few thousand people on the western edge of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug, the wooded ridge that runs across the province of Utrecht. Visitors come here for quiet, for cycling and walking routes through the woods and farmland, and for the pyramid of Austerlitz a few kilometres away. Amersfoort and its historic centre are close by, and the Grebbeberg and Rhenen are within easy reach by car. There is no station in the village itself, so most guests arrive by car or by bus from Amersfoort or Maarn.
Both hotels on this shortlist sit in the village and its direct surroundings. Hotel Schimmel stands on Stationsweg Oost, the road that leads out towards Maarn and the A12, and Elferink Hoeve lies on Klein Moorst, a quieter lane in the rural part of Woudenberg. The two are suited to different stays: Schimmel to couples and business guests who want a restaurant, a pool and parking on site, Elferink Hoeve to families and longer stays with its family rooms, garden and kitchen.

How to choose
For couples
Hotel Schimmel has a restaurant, a bar and a swimming pool, and its 4.2 out of 5 from 1,113 guests is the highest rating among the Woudenberg 3-star hotels. A balcony room, a quiet drink at the bar and free parking make it an easy choice for two.
For families
Elferink Hoeve names family rooms among its facilities, plus a garden, a terrace, a picnic area and mini golf on site. A kitchen with oven, microwave and dishwasher and a cot for a baby suit longer family stays better than a standard hotel room.
For active stays
Both hotels rent bikes, and both list bowling. Elferink Hoeve adds a tennis court, fishing, canoeing and horse riding. Hotel Schimmel lists a golf course and a swimming pool. Woudenberg's woods and lanes start outside the door of either.
With pets or a car
Hotel Schimmel is the only one of the two that allows pets, and it lists free car parking, as does Elferink Hoeve. If you are travelling with a dog and arriving by car, Schimmel answers both needs in one place.
