Nature and surroundings

Located in quiet hamlet between the meadows (corn/ hayfield, cows/ pinks) bordering the Haardennen, part of nature reserve the Reestdal, on a path of 300 meters. At the end of the path begins boszoom and hiking area and is an intersection of the Maarten van Rossumpad. Within cycling distance of the Staphorster forest and recreation area the Black Pines. Semi-wild garden. The cottage is not specifically aimed at family accommodation in the sense of large play equipment and the like (there is a swing) but children are very welcome and allowed to "be themselves", with plenty of room to romp and we are not squeamish about a little noise or sand movement. Campfires and the like to be realized by mutual agreement (if not too dry). Please note that there may be agricultural activities on the surrounding land, we have no influence on this!
