Nature and surroundings
Here, you can truly enjoy the vast heathlands and forests. There are also the characteristic es villages, where time seems to stand still. These es villages, such as Ruinen and Dwingeloo, are characterized by a village green, with farms and other buildings surrounding it. All kinds of activities regularly take place in these villages, which feature cozy outdoor seating areas. Dwingelderveld National Park is best known for its vast, tranquil heathland. The sheep from the Ruinen flock graze here. On the edge of the Dwingelderveld, not far from the Natuurmonumenten visitor center, lies the pen for the Ruinen sheep flock. Visitors are welcome every day to watch the sheep leave or arrive at the pen. There’s plenty to do at the visitor center, and a wide range of information is available about activities for all ages, such as hiking, biking, boating, or horseback riding.

Cottage is in need of renovation. With a nature house you expect there to be options in the cottage to separate waste, an extra pedal bin inside would be a solution. Also eco-friendly cleaning products and toilet paper might fit better with the concept of nature cottage.
Huisje is toe aan renovatie. Bij een natuurhuisje verwacht je dat er mogelijkheden zijn in het huisje om het afval te scheiden, een extra pedaalemmer binnen zou een oplossing zijn. Ook ecovriendelijke schoonmaakmiddelen en toiletpapier passen misschien beter bij het concept natuurhuijsje.
The hostess is very nice and responds quickly by app. The cottage is just the right size and the park wonderfully quiet, beautiful green and spacious. You have no knowledge or view of neighbors. Also nice that no cars are allowed in the park (except the changeover days Monday and Friday). The area is beautiful and very varied. A paradise for walking and cycling. The cottage itself is not super clean (sealant in shower cubicle, joints between tiles), and has quite a few signs of use. That the furnishings are a bit dated has its charm. Nice smart TV and fast wifi too. Don't forget to bring your own towel, tea towel and drying towel. And basic things like garbage bags, spices, salt/pepper, sugar are also missing.
De gastvrouw is erg aardig en reageert snel per app. Het huisje is precies goed van afmeting en het park heerlijk rustig, mooi groen en ruim opgezet. Je hebt geen weet of inkijk van buren. Ook fijn dat er geen auto’s op het park mogen (behalve de wisseldagen maandag en vrijdag). De omgeving is prachtig en heel erg afwisselend. Een paradijs voor wandelen en fietsen. Het huisje zelf is niet superschoon (kit in douchecabine, voegen tussen tegels), en heeft nogal wat gebruikerssporen. Dat de inrichting een beetje gedateerd is heeft z’n charme. Fijne smart tv en snelle wifi ook. Vergeet niet je eigen handdoek, theedoek en droogdoek mee te nemen. En basale dingen zoals afvalzakken, kruiden, zout/peper, suiker ontbreken ook.

The cottage is a lovely house where we have been before,I think three times.It is clean,with a large TV,and all the peace around you.The beds are fantastic,and furthermore it is wonderful there in the garden to sit.
Het huisje is een heerlijk huisje waar we al vaker zijn geweest,ik denk drie keer.
Het is er schoon ,met een grote tv,en alle rust om je heen.
De bedden zijn fantastisch,en verder is het heerlijk daar in de tuin te zitten.Everything was fine,the environment is beautiful,also wonderful to walk on the park.And the many natural areas are for us, from the busy Amsterdam, a blessing!
Alles was prima in orde,de omgeving is prachtig,ook heerlijk op het park te wandelen.
En de vele natuurgebieden zijn voor ons, uit het drukke Amsterdam,een weldaad!This text is automatically translated.
