Nature and surroundings
The guesthouse is located on a plot of nearly 5 acres in an otherwise rural area called Driene, between Hengelo and Enschede. The owners returned the surrounding pastures to nature more than 30 years ago. By abandoning fertilization, the soil has become atrophied and old plant species are returning. Many birds are observed. More than 100 different species in the past 30 years. There live hares, frogs, salamanders, foxes, martens, polecats and many deer. Every year, especially in April, May and June, young fawns can be seen from the guesthouse. We even witnessed the birth of a fawn once. Nearby are many hiking and biking trails. Would you like a guided tour on a special bee trail, or mushroom hunting in the fall? There is a 9-hole golf course, one of the oldest in the Netherlands, 500 meters away. Contact your hostess and ask about the various possibilities.

A truly beautiful place with a very friendly host, Silvia, who’s always there for you. We received a warm welcome, and our stay was very pleasant. We enjoyed a nice barbecue, and you can also relax in the garden while listening to the birds. You’ll sleep soundly at night, too.
Super mooie plek en een zeer vriendelijke gastvrouw Silvia die altijd voor je klaar staat,prima ontvangst en ons verblijf was dan ook zeer aangenaam.Lekker geBBQ en je kan ook heerlijk tot rust komen in de tuin met het geluid van de vogels.Ook in de nacht kom je heerlijk tot rust.
A lovely home in a perfect setting where you’ll find plenty of space and tranquility.

Very spacious, fully equipped. It would have been perfect if it had not been so cold inside the cottage (late April). Minimal insulation, partly single glass, heating costs not included in the price. Despite with blankets on the couch it was not warm. Environment and location in relation to Hengelo and Enschede was perfect. Cycled a lot and walked a lot.
Zeer ruim, van alle gemakken voorzien. Het zou perfect zijn geweest als het in het huisje niet zo koud was geweest (eind april). Minimale isolatie, deels enkel glas, verwarmingskosten niet bij de prijs inbegrepen. Ondanks met dekens op de bank was het niet warm te krijgen. Omgeving en ligging tov Hengelo en Enschede was perfect. Veel gefietst en gewandeld.
Detached, quiet area, right in nature, centrally located between Hengelo and Enschede
Vrij gelegen, rustige omgeving, direct in de natuur, centraal tussen Hengelo en Enschede
