Stay in this unique school from 1928, located in the beautiful surroundings of the hamlet of Tonden. Where until the late 1990s the 5th and 6th grades of this elementary school were taught, you can now enjoy over 100m2 of quiet location with lots of light and views of the meadows. The residence has a spacious living room/kitchen (the original classroom), as well as with an original corridor with the original granite floor. From the hallway you have access to a WC, the bathroom and the downstairs bedroom (which also has direct access with the bathroom). From the hallway, you can also access the landing for the second bedroom via stairs. This second bedroom (two single beds that can also become a double bed) has two windows, allowing you to enjoy lots of light, ventilation and the sounds of the different birds. Bed linen and towels are included. Outside you can sit on the bench or on the terrace and enjoy the wide rural views.
Nature and surroundings
In this beautiful countryside between the Veluwe and the Hanseatic cities on the IJssel (oa Doesburg, Bronkhorst, Zutphen and Deventer), you overlook the beautiful farmlands and forests. There are beautiful hiking trails and the bicycle routes are diverse. You can also walk beautifully on the unique Empe and Tonden moors where even flamingos have been spotted, or at Voorstonden and the Leusveld. A stone's throw from the location you can walk (via a path around the back) to the Sterrebos which is nationally known for its unique garlic toad. Behind the school is also a playing field for the children, secluded from the road and traffic. In front (and from the classroom) of the school you overlook the fields, where all too often you can see the deer and storks. For those who like it, a tandem can be used to go and explore this beautiful area in a unique way.

Gea August 6, 2025 General rating:The cottage is wonderfully spacious and bright. Everything was available and clean. Upon arrival there was a nice field bouquet on the table, from our own garden. Owners are very friendly. We found it very special to stay in an old school.
Het huisje is heerlijk ruim en licht. Mooi uitzicht over het weiland, waar de ganzen af en aan vlogen om een rustplek te vinden.
Alles was voorhanden en schoon. Bij aankomst stond er een leuk veldboeketje op tafel, uit eigen tuin.
Eigenaren zijn erg vriendelijk.
Wij vonden het heel bijzonder om in een oude school te verblijven.Nature, peace & environment:The cottage is located in a quiet, rural area. Behind the house you walk straight into a forest area, which was very nice for our dog. In the vicinity of Tonden are several nature reserves where we have walked. Especially the walk on the Tonden and Empese heath was beautiful.
Het huisje ligt in een rustig, landelijk gebied. Achter het huis loop je zo een bosgebied in, wat erg fijn was voor onze hond. Eekhoorntjes en reeën gezien.
In de omgeving van Tonden zijn diverse natuurgebieden waar we gewandeld hebben. Vooral de wandeling over de Tondense en Empese heide was prachtig.This text is automatically translated. -

Marianne June 20, 2025 General rating:Very warm welcome from a nice host. We will definitely come back!
Zeer hartelijke ontvangst van een aardige gastheer. Wij komen zéker een keer terug!
Nature, peace & environment:Wonderful spacious home with all the amenities and expansive views. We enjoyed it very much and the room was lovely and cool during hot days. Also outside it was nice to sit and the dog had a good time in the garden. In short: wonderful!
Prachtig ruim huis met alle voorzieningen en een weids uitzicht. We hebben erg genoten en de ruimte was heerlijk koel tijdens warme dagen. Ook buiten was het lekker zitten en voor de hond was het goed toeven in de afgebakende tuin. Kortom: gewéldig!
