This cozy half-timbered house with thatched roof in the district of Rotenburg is located in the Hinzel, an extensive forest with atmospheric moorland. It is part of a historic farmstead (completely renovated). The garden area reserved for you around the house is part of the farm ensemble. The "Backhaus" has 2 floors with wooden floors (66 square meters of living space). On the first floor you will find the Scandinavian-style living/dining room with wood-burning stove, kitchen & bathroom. A space-saving staircase (alternating steps & handrail) leads to the converted attic. Upstairs is the sleeping area, a sofa corner & desk. The sofa in the living room can be used as an additional bed for 1-2 people (90/180 cm wide). The only farm animals are 2 cats. In the surrounding forest live many animals, owls, game, wild boars. There may be scratching noises around the house at night, e.g. from a dormouse. Good WLAN (cell phone network unstable). Freshly made beds. Towels are provided.
Nature and surroundings
Surrounded by nature reserves, the Nature house is located in the medieval Heinschenwall rampart complex on the Geesten lowlands. The varied landscape between the Weser and Elbe rivers offers traditional village life, nature and culture. Whether alone, as a couple or with the family - the house, garden and surroundings invite you to activities, rest and relaxation. The landscape is ideal for hiking on the designated "Northern Paths" and for tours by bike. A natural swimming lake is only 11 km away. In about 45 minutes you can reach Bremerhaven, the Hanseatic city of Stade, the sandy beaches of Cuxhaven or the famous Worpswede. Bremen and Hamburg are only a little further away. The Heinschenwalde train station is 300 meters away. Approx. 50 m away and shielded by tall trees is a district road with little traffic, which is mainly used by the villagers and farmers. Through a gate you are immediately in the forest and at the Geeste stream, which flows towards the Weser.

The rating is based purely on the cottage and the natural surroundings.
See the information mentioned earlier. The first week was exhausting, but the second week was more relaxing. We were able to go biking and visit Bremen, Stade, and Bad Berkesea.Cijfer is puur het huisje en natuur.
Info zie eerder vermeld. Eerste week was slopend, 2de week wel relaxer geweest. Toen kunnen fietsen en Bremen, Stade, Bad Berkesea bezocht.The cottage was wonderful, and so were the garden and the greenery surrounding it. It wasn’t an issue for us, but the stairs might pose some problems for some people.
The information about whether the vacation was a good fit was poor. I attribute this to the landlord, but also to the role played by nature house. The information booklet was minimal—we had to figure everything out on our own. Information found via Google was often incorrect as well. There were also inaccuracies from the tourist office. It’s a cycling area, but renting a bike required a train ride of over an hour. There was some skepticism about that, but we managed to get the bikes. We were reliant on bicycles. The first week was hectic. Nothing but Googling, hoping the information was (still) correct. The brochure listed local markets but didn’t include times, so we spent the whole day searching on our phones. Everything is geared toward hiking and biking (you have to bring your own bikes; this wasn’t mentioned).
Any towns worth visiting were a 45-minute drive away. Bremen was nice. It was convenient that there was also a train connection. It was within walking distance. There was one small shop nearby that sold everything. Fresh rolls were available to order. This wasn’t mentioned either.
Emergency numbers were missing.Het huisje geweldig, en de tuin en groen erom heen ook. Voor ons geen punt, maar de trap kan voor sommigen wat problemen geven.
Informatie dat de vakantie passend is, slecht. Dit wijd ik aan de verhuurder, maar ook de rol van Natuurhuisje. Minieme infomap, alles zelf uitzoeken. Info via google klopte vaak ook niet. Via VVV waren ook missers. Fiets gebied, maar een fiets huren was ruim een uur met de trein. Daar was er wat sceptus, maar we kregen ze mee. Wij waren aangewezen op fietsen. De eerste week was hectisch. Niks anders dan googelen in de hoop dat de informatie (nog) klopte. Opsomming van marktjes in de map, geen tijden, dus de hele dag zoeken op je telefoon. Alles is gericht op wandelen en fietsen (zelf meenemen, niet gemeld).
Eventuele stadjes die de moeite waard zijn, 45 min rijden. Bremen leuk. Handig dat er ook een treinverbinding was. Was te voet bereikbaar. 1 winkeltje in de buurt, alles te koop. Verse broodjes op bestelling. Dit was ook niet vermeld.

Nice house, but the stairs leading upstairs were very steep and the design wasn't very pleasant.
Prettig huis alleen de trap naar boven was erg steil en de vormgeving niet prettig
A lovely, quiet, and green setting.
Prima, rustige en groene omgeving.

A fantastic stay. I didn't give it a 10 because the peace and quiet was sometimes disrupted by a nearby road. It was especially busy because another road was closed. It's a shame, but we realize this is beyond our control.
Fantastisch verblijf. Geen 10 omdat de rust soms verstoord werd door een in de nabijheid gelegen weg. Deze was extra druk omdat een andere weg was afgesloten. Jammer, maar wij realiseren ons dat dit overmacht is.
The cottage has a cozy interior and is fully equipped. We also had access to a spacious, sheltered garden. We enjoyed every single day.
Het huisje heeft een gezellige inrichting en is zeer compleet uitgerust. Bovendien konden we gebruik maken van een ruime beschutte tuin. Wij hebben iedere dag genoten.
