Nature and surroundings
The area around Ratum is ideal for hikers, cyclists, and nature lovers. From the cottage, you can walk or bike right into nature, passing through forests, meadows, and quaint Achterhoek villages. This nature house is situated on a wooded lot of over 3,000 square meters, surrounded by nature and bordering the German forest. It’s the perfect spot for long hikes, with or without your dog. Go for a swim in Lake Hilgelo or visit one of the nearby subtropical swimming pools. Visit the market in Winterswijk or see if the eagle owl is nesting in the Steengroeve. A walk in the Korenburgerveen is also a must. The cottage is centrally located between Winterswijk and Vreden (Germany). Winterswijk has a beautiful town center. Here you’ll find all the amenities you need, such as supermarkets, restaurants, outdoor cafes, and even a movie theater. So you won’t be bored.

A beautiful, recently renovated cottage equipped with all the amenities. The hot tub is a wonderful addition that lets you fully enjoy the peace and quiet surrounding the cottage. Friendly hosts who provided clear instructions on how everything works.
Prachtig recentelijk verbouwd huisje van alle gemakken voorzien. Hottub is een heerlijke toevoeging om extra te genieten van alle rust rondom het huisje. Vriendelijke verhuurders en duidelijke uitleg over hoe alles werkt.
A lovely spot, with a few sheep grazing in the grass among the trees behind the cottage. You can hear the owl, the birds, and sometimes an airplane. Enjoy the tranquility of nature all around the cottage.
Heerlijke plek, met achter het huisje tussen de bomen in het gras wat schaapjes. Je hoort de uil en de vogels en soms een vliegtuig. Genieten in alle rust van de natuur rondom het huisje.

So nice!
The sheep in the nearby pasture also add a cozy touch.
Highly recommended!Superfijn dus!
De schaapjes in de nabijliggende wei geven ook iets knus.
Een aanrader!Wow... in one word. Stylish, cozy, and such an eye for detail. Super comfortable beds, with mattress toppers. Very well-equipped. Everything we needed was there.
We used the hot tub as a “cool tub” because the weather was so hot. It was wonderful to sit there in the dark and listen to the tawny owls. The warm ambiance created by the string of lights really added to the experience! The shell-covered patio, bordered by chestnut fences and flowers, also created a cheerful vacation vibe.
The kitchen was beautiful, well-maintained, and fully equipped.
Even the large lounge/sleeper sofa was very comfortable.
Upstairs in the bedroom, there was a large fan. Nice to have with this hot weather.
We had temperatures of 30 degrees and even higher all week. We spent most of our time outdoors. But even when the weather isn’t ideal, you’re practically outside. The enormous windows really give you that “inside-outside” feeling.
Gorgeous!!!!
Tip for the owner… a hammock would be a great addition and a nice complement to the practical chairs and picnic table.
We brought our own comfortable chairs with us…Wauw...in 1 woord. Stijlvol, huiselijk en zoveel oog voor detail. Super fijne bedden, met topper. Heel compleet. Met alles wat er nodig was.
De hottub gebruikt als cooltub, omdat we erg warm weer hadden. Heerlijk zitten genieten in het donker van de bosuilen. De warme sfeer van de lichtjesslinger voegde heel veel toe! Ook het schelpenterras afgezet door kastanjehekjes en bloemen zorgde voor een vrolijke vakantievibe.
De keuken was prachtig en goed verzorgd en compleet.
Zelfs de grote lounge/ slaapbank zat erg lekker.
Boven in de slaapkamer stond een grote ventilator. Prettig met dit warme weer.
Wij hadden de hele week 30 graden en zelfs meer. En hebben grotendeels buiten geleefd. Maar ook bij minder weer zit je bijna buiten. De enorme grote raampartijen geven echt een binnen buiten gevoel.
Prachtig!!!!
Tip voor de eigenaar...een hangmat zou erg leuk passen en ook prettig zijn als aanvulling op de praktische stoelen en picknicktafel.
Wij hadden onze eigen makkelijke stoelen mee....This text is automatically translated.
