Nature and surroundings

Many regular guests of the Nature Houses have often enjoyed this beautiful place several times. "A wonderful place to unwind and enjoy all the birds, almost 30, which were spotted by this guest : blackhead, blue tit, ring sparrow, blackbird, magpie, crow, song thrush, robin, spotted woodpecker, green woodpecker, goldfinch, chiffchaff, magpie, common jay, wren, great tit, turtle dove, chaffinch, mallard, sparrowhawk, house martin, heron, wagtail, wood pigeon, and so on. On the terrace of nature house the Kemphaan we had a delicious breakfast every morning. They spent a week here and the weather gods were favorable to us. The area is ideal for cycling and hiking and upon returning home a comfortable "log cabin" awaits, a lovely two-person cottage, where it is good to stay. In the evening they could sit outside on the porch and listen to the twittering and whistling of the many birds. It was a delight to be able to hear this concert.

    Fine, clean and neat cottage and good base to explore the area. Furnishing is a bit dated, but still satisfactory.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    Beautiful view, quiet cottage, sometimes some noise from cars from the road behind. During the heat wave when we were there it was great that the cottage is shaded by the trees around it except for some morning sun. Other than that it is clean, neat and everything you need is there. We had a great time.

    I was under the impression that with my disability I could go there but that was not quite the case. My house is barrier-free so that I as a widow also can manage and I have a walk-in shower with seat. The next time I choose a cottage that meets these requirements, With kind regards Ytsje Wilstra Scherjon

    Dear Erwin and Edith, It was very quiet except for one night when I couldn't sleep because the rain was pounding on the roof tiles and that made a lot of noise. As I need my rest because of the MS I have had since 2005. Furthermore, I have saved me but it is for me afzien because my car could not stand at the cottage The Heron. Not even for loading and unloading. I now have a disabled parking card and and that for years. Furthermore, Erwin was now my Mantelzorger when I came to get the things from the car, Thank you very much for that. I applied for an electric wheelchair through the WMO in exchange for the mobility scooter because walking is difficult for me.
