History Timeline

2002

Conversion to multipurpose accommodation

Starting this year, Piet and Sonja are renovating Erve Hulsbeek into a multifunctional accommodation with several characteristic rooms. One of these is "the authentic showroom," pictured here. In the years that follow, several renovations take place.

2004

'Realization café
In the old potting shed'

The very first renovation took place in 2004. This was the realization of the café 'In the old potting shed' with a covered terrace. In this year, the size of Erve Hulsbeek is five times smaller than it is now and the site serves mainly as a group accommodation, party and meeting location. Every weekend the accommodation is filled with groups who come to play sports on the grounds. They sleep, have breakfast and dinner at Erve Hulsbeek. At that time the guests arranged their own dinner in the Potstal. They often barbecued or ate nasi, so there was no à la carte menu yet. The first eight years characterized the success of Erve Hulsbeek.

2005

Dredging Spring Pond

In addition to many changes inside, there is also hard work outside. In 2005 the Springervijver will be dredged. Now when you enjoy a cup of coffee or lunch on our terrace outside in the sun, you look out over the beautiful Springer Pond.

2007

Realization conservatory and meeting room

Once again it is time for a major renovation. In this year, the restaurant with conservatory and meeting room were realized. A menu was created and the renovation provided space to hire more staff. Little by little, Erve Hulsbeek grew into the hotel it is today. In addition, Erve Hulsbeek has been a wedding location for the municipality of Oldenzaal since 2007. Since then some 500 couples have already married at Erve Hulsbeek at the Springervijver, in the Pronkkamer or Serre. As a wedding planner, Sonja ensures an unforgettable day!

2010

Renovating Springer Garden

In 2010, a major change will take place outside on the grounds: the Springer garden will be renovated based on original designs by L.A. Springer from 1917. This is being done together with Landschap Overijssel. Footpaths will be built, terraces restored and the Springer hill will be raised. In addition, during this renovation, in the Gammelkerbeek, remnants are found of the foundation of a medieval water mill and the foundation of an old horse stable. Immediately a project is started to make these visible to visitors, so now you can enjoy a beautiful walk along the history of the estate with cortent steel bridge, water wheel and original mill stone.

2012

Opening four-star hotel

In this year, the four-star hotel with 15 luxurious rooms opens its doors, completely in the style of the location. Sonja finds her passion in styling the interior. She creates her own unique style for hotel Erve Hulsbeek. The style can still be found throughout the location. Meanwhile, Sam (son) and Dyonne , who are seen as potential successors also have a say in this. In addition to the four-star hotel, the 'Kapschuur' is also being built. This barn is realized with wood directly from the surroundings of Erve Hulsbeek.

2014

5 stars in the National Group Accommodation Classification

In 2014, Pete and Sonja receive 5 stars in the National Group Accommodation Classification. This classification is seen by companies as an important way to distinguish themselves from fellow companies. With this amount of stars, family Heuvelmans achieves the highest possible score. Also in this year the kitchen was expanded with a large sink kitchen.

Additional rooms and suites

After the realization of 15 luxury rooms including a bridal suite in 2012, another 13 luxury rooms, 3 family rooms and 2 suites will be realized in 2018. The Coach House will be demolished for this purpose. At the same time, this major renovation will bring about a change in the organization and vision for the future. The growth of the hotel with 4 **** ensures that more functions can be created within the organization.

2020

Son Sam and girlfriend Dyonne working in hotel

Little boys grow up! Sonja and Piet's youngest son, Sam Heuvelmans, returns to hotel Erve Hulsbeek in his graduation year due to the corona crisis. Because of his now acquired experience at the high hotel school and various hotels, he can immediately start working in his parents' hotel. Over the years Sam has become an indispensable face at Erve Hulsbeek. Meanwhile, there is even the plan to pass the baton to son Sam and his girlfriend Dyonne, whom he met at the higher hotel school.

2021

New parking lot design

As a finishing touch, in the fall of 2021, the parking lot will be redesigned and completely updated to reflect modern times and the style of the hotel. The parking lot will feature planting, proper lighting and, in time, charging stations. In addition, the parking lot will be expanded with a lockable bike shed for guests. This is equipped with electric charging points so that guests can also charge their electric bicycles during their stay.
