Nature and surroundings

Somewhere in the Achterhoek stands a monumental farmhouse. In the yard, chickens, ducks, peacocks and pigeons scratch about. In the distance you can hear a cuckoo, golden oriole, horses graze in the meadow. A place out of time. Beautiful clearings in the forest invite meditation. The nature house is a farmhouse with a history dating back to the 14th century. The current buildings are 120+ years old and are listed buildings. They are located at the edge of the village of Haarlo (near Borculo) in the middle of the typical Achterhoek scenery, with its private character and beautiful vistas, where pieces of forest, meadows, fields and streams alternate. Beautiful for hiking, cycling and stargazing. The farm is occupied by a few permanent residents.

    Cottage needs some maintenance. Other than fresh flowers and a hefty paint job, it might also be idea to arrange more than 1 toilet with in same door shower for 3 cottages...? Sharing is not bad, and was clear in description. But had hoped toilet and shower would be separate. Gives some more walk-through options.
    And that at least the shower and toilet would be clean..... The more people share, the dirtier it seems to get. Also minus point: have asked host if cottage was accessible for disabled fellow traveler, answer was "yes" only after almost 2hr travel it turned out to be a no. Whereby it could be picked up by family.... Response from host: ''Thanks for the review and also for the some positive notes. The group room is 700 meters away on the other side of the property and is invisible from the Cocoon and of course there are more guests because we cannot live from just the cocoon (cheapest stay) ;-).

    My colleague (68yrs) was very tired in this weekend due to the 35 degree heat and has been in the shade a little more than usual (obviously not to check) and fortunately I get positive comments every week about his more than helpful and welcoming attitude.

    Celine indicated that she walks on crutches and asked if this nature house was accessible, it certainly is except for a few little thresholds, I don't know then what lady can and or can't do (on the other hand, you should be able to estimate this yourself given the pictures of the place and accommodation, or give more info), my colleague has been very busy with Celine and released and cleaned another apartment so that this guest could still have a nice stay (too bad this is not mentioned).

    The special whitewash paint makes sure you keep seeing the grain of the wood, it's supposed to.''

    Cottage is on a lawn overlooking the meadows. Birds and other animals can be seen everywhere. Unfortunately also with the back of cottage to a large group accommodation, and from cottage you look directly on other lodgers of other cottages. Not a big problem, but my fellow lodges did lay in the middle of grassy field all day. So didn't really feel "one with nature". In addition, the host was sitting on a chair all day looking out for visitors. Which made me feel like I was being monitored.

    Rented the 'Cocon' for the 2 hottest days/nights of the year. Oops!!! Not to be done, the sun had been beating down on the cottage all day and that heat doesn't go out easily. After a bad night I packed the suitcase again and indicated that I was going home again. Then the owner acted quickly and offered me a free upgrade to a luxury room on the share. Slept wonderfully there. Breakfast both mornings was generous and very tasty. All in all enjoyed the peace, hospitality and beautiful surroundings. Everything was neat and clean. The only point of attention is that the sanitary facilities (combined bathroom with toilet) must be shared with all 3 outhouses, so in the worst case with a total of 5 adults and 3 children. And also with fewer people you quickly get in each other's way there.

    Very personal, but the area is very green and quite quiet. You have to love animals, because dog, cats and peacocks are running around loose.

    I liked it very much and it is definitely worth repeating. The cocoon is a small neat house. In a quiet part of the location. Bit secluded, so really a place for yourself. Small, so you live more or less outside. The surroundings are beautiful. Lots of nature, and hiking trails. Much, such as supermarket, is nearby. within 10 min drive you do have everything. Beautiful swimming lake at 15 min The location itself is beautiful, clean and spacious. Everything (kitchen, plumbing) nicely maintained and also clean. The owners, staff are super nice. always ready for a chat or to answer questions.
