Nature and surroundings

Be surprised by unexpected encounters with the animals and their environment. From the comfort of your armchair, watch the squirrels play on the grounds, the green woodpecker get its food from the grass and the spotted woodpecker get it from the tree. Enjoy the birds of prey, such as the sparrowhawk and buzzard, as they search for their food. Listen to the tawny owl giving her chicks flying lessons in the spring. If you are lucky, you will be present when the Bird Conservancy rings the owl and her chicks. An unforgettable experience! Wake up to an elaborate bird concert every morning? Is arranged. An evening concert in the evening? That too will be arranged. Experience the beauty of the deer that regularly walk the grounds and see the difference in summer and winter coats. Enjoy the fresh morning air in the spring, sit outside endlessly in the summer, soak up that typical autumn scent or take a brisk walk in the snow. Not only the grounds of the estate invite you to walk and discover; also the surroundings with an approximately 23 kilometer long cultural-historical walking route around Markelo invites you to do so.

    We can only be positive, here you come to rest and the care is top.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    The guesthouse Forest Owl is beautifully located on an estate. It is very peaceful. Birds fly off and on, a woodpecker in the tree and a flighty squirrel. The owners' chickens scratch around. Only the deer has not shown itself. The cottage is fully equipped. The beds are lovely, the kitchen is fully equipped. There are several kinds of Nespresso coffee and 6 kinds of loose tea. You can take a nice shower in the walk-in shower without getting the whole bathroom wet. There are plenty of towels and also washcloths. In addition, 3 different types of shower gel and 2-in-1 shampoos to choose from. And to top it all off, a delicious breakfast brought to the house by the hosts in the morning with still warm homemade bread, yogurt and granola, freshly squeezed orange juice, an egg and various toppings. And. it is "forbidden" to wash the dishes yourself. That will be done for you. How luxurious do you want it?
