If you’re looking for a charming and distinctive place to stay, you’ll feel right at home in our cozy hayloft. This fully wooden, replica hayloft is compact, fully equipped, and ideal for anyone who loves peace and quiet, nature, and the outdoors. Downstairs, you’ll find a cozy living room with a wood stove and French doors leading to the patio, a simple yet fully equipped kitchen with a refrigerator, oven, and 4-burner gas stove, and a bathroom with a shower and toilet. Up the stairs, you’ll find the bedroom with a comfortable yet modest double bed beneath the beamed ceiling. Through the stained-glass windows, you can look out onto the chicken coop and the orchard. Bedding, kitchen linens, and bath towels are included. The cottage is located on our property, next to the wood shed and close to our garage. We use the property daily, so you may occasionally run into us or see or hear us working on the property.
Nature and surroundings
Froombosch is located in Midden-Groningen, 10 minutes from Groningen. The village borders the Roegwold nature reserve, which features hiking and biking trails. Nearby are the Fraeylemaborg and the Fraeylemabos, ideal for hiking. To the south lies the Zuidlaardermeer, perfect for boating and birdwatching, and to the north is the Schildmeer, with small beaches and recreational activities. The hay shed is situated in our orchard, teeming with birds; in the spring, it’s filled with blossoms and bees. There are both sunny and shaded seating areas where you can relax. Behind the property are fields where roe deer are often spotted. Sappemeer, with its shops and amenities, is within biking distance; nearby villages have cafés and markets. The area is perfect for bike rides through the Groningen countryside, with sweeping views and quiet roads. In the evening, it gets dark here, and on clear nights you can see the stars.

The cottage is beautifully crafted, with an eye for traditional woodworking. It's truly a wonderful place to enjoy peace and quiet and the outdoors.
Het huisje is mooi gemaakt. Met oog voor ambachtelijke houtbewerking. Echt een fijne plek om te genieten van rust en buiten.
It was so peaceful. The cottage is on the outskirts of a small village. It's not exactly surrounded by nature, but it's very quiet!
De rust was geweldig. Het huisje is aan de rand van een dorpje. Niet echt midden in de natuur, maar wel erg rustig!

Very cozy cottage. Lots of privacy and quiet at night. Also good wood stove that heats quickly. Also all necessary things present. Also nice of the Chromecast to the TV, which allows you to stream series / movies lan from your cell phone or laptop. When not watching TV, you can play board games (there are some very classic ones among them) As for the neighborhood, it is not too remote and also not close to the center. So in terms of location, it is nicely in between. The dog (Boris) is also definitely an added value :) If you go through the garden to the open field in the back, you can see the beautiful starry sky in low clouds. The driveway to the cottage (past the owners' house) is on the narrow side though. For people with a campervan or SUV this can be a bit difficult.All in all, it is definitely worth its money. We are very satisfied from our stay here.
Zeer gezellig huisje. Veel privacy en 's nachts muisstil. Eveneens goede houtkachel die snel verwamt. Ook alle nodige zaken aanwezig. Ook leuk van de Chromecast aan de TV, waarmee je vanaf je GSM of laptop series/films lan streamen. Wanneer je geen TV kijkt, kan je gezelschapsspelletjes spelen (zitten er een aantal zeer klassieke tussen)
Wat de buurt betreft is het niet te afgelegen en ook niet dichtbij het centrum. Qua locatie ligt het dus mooi tussenin. De Hond (Boris) is ook zeker wel een meerwaarde :)
Als je door de tuin naar het open veld achteraan gaat, kan je bij weinig bewolking de prachtige sterren hemel zien.
De oprit naar het huisje (langs het huis van de eigenaars) is wel langs de smalle kant. Voor mensen met een campervan of SUV kan dit wat moeilijk zijn.
Al bij al is het zeker zijn geld waard. Wij zijn heel tevreden van ons verblijf hier.Very cozy cottage. Lots of privacy and quiet at night. Also good wood stove that heats quickly.

So all in all, I felt totally unwelcome and there was little in the way of relaxing. Everything together made me decide to leave after 1 night. From the landlords I have not heard anything more.
Al met al voelde ik me dus totaal niet welkom en was van ontspannen weinig sprake. Alles bij elkaar heeft me doen besluiten om na 1 nachtje weer te vertrekken. Van de verhuurders heb ik niks meer vernomen.
Unfortunately, this was not what I expected. Arrival was with a key box (totally fine) but they also did not come to introduce themselves during the day. The written card that was supposed to welcome me was not welcoming either, the card seemed to have been used several times. (I had indicated that I would come alone, on the card was always "you guys") I did hear the host loudly calling next to the cottage and then had to mow the grass around dinner time, so that was over an hour of noise. The wood stove was difficult to get started with only 3 firelighters and very large pieces of wood, no kindling to find. The thermostat in the cottage could not be used. The screen is unreadable. which meant I was in a very cold cottage for the most part.Also, all the crockery in the cupboard was not clean, everything I washed before and after using it.The cottage is in the garden, but is not very sheltered. therefore little privacy.
Dit was helaas niet wat ik ervan verwacht had. Aankomst was met een sleutel kastje (helemaal prima) maar ze zijn zich gedurende de dag ook niet komen voorstellen. Het geschreven kaartje wat me welkom zou moeten heten was evenmin gastvrij, het kaartje leek al meerdere keren te zijn gebruikt. (ik had aangegeven dat ik alleen zou komen, op het kaartje stond steeds 'jullie')
Wel heb ik de gastheer luid horen kunnen bellen naast het huisje en moest daarna rond etenstijd het gras nog gemaaid worden, dat was dus ruim een uur herrie.
De houtkachel was moeilijk aan te krijgen met alleen maar 3 aanmaakblokjes en hele grote stukken hout, geen aanmaak houtjes te vinden. De thermostaat in het huisje was niet te gebruiken. Het scherm is onleesbaar.
Wat erop neer kwam dat ik grotendeels in een erg koud huisje zat.
Ook was al het servies in de kast niet schoon, alles heb ik voor en na gebruik afgewassen.
Het huisje staat in de tuin, maar is niet erg beschut. daardoor weinig privacy.This text is automatically translated.
