The Peat Pearl is truly a fantastic nature house. From the moment of arrival it immediately felt pleasant and relaxed. The cottage is tastefully decorated, incredibly clean and fully equipped. Everything you need is there and you notice in everything that much attention and care has been given to the stay. What we especially liked is that the cottage is not only fully equipped, but also really cozy and comfortable feel. The beds slept great, the sauna was a great extra and also the peace and quiet around the cottage really makes it a place to fully relax. In addition, the location is perfect. In the middle of nature, lots of privacy and at the same time an ideal base to explore the area.
De Veenparel is echt een fantastisch natuurhuisje. Vanaf het moment van aankomst voelde het direct prettig en ontspannen. Het huisje is sfeervol ingericht, ontzettend schoon en van alle gemakken voorzien. Alles wat je nodig hebt is aanwezig en je merkt aan alles dat er veel aandacht en zorg aan het verblijf is besteed.
Wat wij vooral erg prettig vonden is dat het huisje niet alleen compleet is ingericht, maar ook echt gezellig en comfortabel aanvoelt. De bedden sliepen heerlijk, de sauna was een geweldige extra en ook de rust rondom het huisje maakt het echt een plek om volledig te ontspannen.
Daarnaast is de ligging perfect. Midden in de natuur, veel privacy en tegelijkertijd een ideale uitvalsbasis om de omgeving te ontdekken.What is immediately striking about the area is the tremendous peace and quiet and space. No crowds or traffic around you, but silence, birdsong and a wide view of nature. Especially in the morning and evening there was a wonderful quietness that really gives you the feeling of being away from it all. The nature around Fochteloo is beautiful and varied. Vast nature reserves, lots of greenery, beautiful hiking trails and everywhere space to enjoy the surroundings. During our walks we regularly encountered special birds and that combination of silence, nature and open landscape made it extra special. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back. Next time we will bring our bikes so we can discover even more of the beautiful surroundings and nature.
Wat direct opvalt aan de omgeving is de enorme rust en ruimte. Geen drukte of verkeer om je heen, maar stilte, vogelgeluiden en een weids uitzicht over de natuur. Vooral ’s morgens en ’s avonds hing er een heerlijke rust waardoor je echt het gevoel hebt even helemaal weg te zijn.
De natuur rondom Fochteloo is prachtig en afwisselend. Uitgestrekte natuurgebieden, veel groen, mooie wandelroutes en overal ruimte om te genieten van de omgeving. Tijdens onze wandelingen kwamen we regelmatig bijzondere vogels tegen en juist die combinatie van stilte, natuur en open landschap maakte het extra bijzonder.
Wij hebben enorm genoten van ons verblijf en komen hier zeker nog eens terug. Volgende keer nemen we onze fietsen mee zodat we nog meer van de mooie omgeving en natuur kunnen ontdekken.This text is automatically translated. -

Very nice! You stay with the owners on the property, but have lots of privacy on the terrace. The sauna was super, parking also top. Beautiful surroundings and a beautiful, new and school cottage.
Erg mooi! Je verblijft bij de eigenaren op het terrein, maar hebt op het terras veel privacy. De sauna was super, parkeergelegenheid ook top. Prachtige omgeving en een mooi, nieuw en school huisje.
