Spend the night in an old water tower turned nature house! This little tower, situated in a prime location (Central Groningen), is an old watermill that the owners have converted into luxury heritage accommodations. Here you can watch the sun rise and set, with a fantastic view of the landscape. There’s a small lake with a beach within walking distance, and there are several entertainment options and restaurants in the area. The B&B’s interior is modern while retaining its characteristic features, and the atmosphere is warm and cozy. The turret is suitable for couples, families (with children), and groups of up to six people. Upon request, two additional children aged 12 and under can be accommodated. The water tower is a freestanding property and is rented out as a whole. It is surrounded by a spacious lawn with terraces and four private parking spaces. There are no other vacation homes in the immediate vicinity. Pets are not allowed in the water tower, and smoking is prohibited.

Nature and surroundings

You’ll be staying in a natural setting on the border between Groningen and Drenthe. On one side are open meadows and fields, and on the other is the secluded Adriaan Tripbos, with a lake that offers a refreshing respite in the summer. Westerwolde, with the picturesque village of Smeerling, is 20 kilometers away. Closer by, five to ten kilometers away, you can hike and bike in the Hunze Valley managed by Groninger Landschap, the Duurswold managed by Staatsbosbeheer, or the Annermoeras and Gasterse Dunes managed by Drentse Landschap. A bike ride through the Veenkoloniale landscape of Midden-Groningen—with its vast, green farmlands crisscrossed by canals and waterways—is definitely worth the effort.

    Fine cottage. Everything present that you want! Nice owner had stove already started up to make warm (was very cold outside, so unfortunately upstairs was not too warm, but blankets were warm and beds are good, so sleeping was fine!).

    Totally perfect, all the trimmings. If there was another nice couch in it, it would be a 10.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    What a unique little house. A little tower in the middle of the field. Greenery all around you. A forest walk starts immediately 200 m away. Could not have been better.

The host indicates that the area is firework-free. Firework-free means that no firework bangs can be heard in and around the accommodation. You might occasionally hear some noise or see some light from fireworks set off outside the immediate area. It is important that you agree with the landlord on what you can expect.
