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.

Wim September 27, 2025 General rating:Friendly reception, some more information in the cottage about use of energy/heating and whether or not to use fireplace wood would be nice.
Vriendelijke ontvangst, wat meer informatie in het huisje over gebruik energie/verwarming en al dan niet gebruik openhaardhout zou prettig zijn.
Nature, peace & environment:Nice and quiet location a short distance from the "outer edge" of Hengelo. The house itself is indeed "fully equipped. Upon entering the house it was quite chilly and we can imagine that especially in the colder months slippers and warm sweaters are a good idea. The 'fitness equipment' in the master bedroom is a funny touch, but o.i. again not really seriously useful. Big plus; when you step out the door, rural Twente is right in front of you!
Mooi en rustig gelegen op kleine afstand van de 'buitenrand' van Hengelo. Het huis zelf is inderdaad 'van alle gemakken voorzien. Bij binnenkomst van het huisje was het best fris en we kunnen ons voorstellen dat vooral in de koudere maanden pantoffels en warme truien een goed idee zijn.
De 'fitnesstoestellen' in de grote slaapkamer zijn een grappige touch, maar o.i. ook weer niet echt serieus bruikbaar. Groot pluspunt; als je de deur uitstapt ligt het landelijke Twente voor je open!This text is automatically translated.
