On the grounds of a traditional Achterhoek farmhouse, the outbuilding—which originally served as a calf barn—has been converted into a comfortable and charming guesthouse. From the entryway, you enter the cozy living room with an open kitchen featuring a 2-burner stovetop, refrigerator, small microwave, and a small oven. High chairs are available upon request. Behind the living room are a double bedroom and a bathroom equipped with a toilet, shower, and a two-person sauna. Upstairs is a spacious double bedroom where cribs can be added if needed. The vacation home has two terraces. The terrace in front of the living room offers views of meadows, the edge of the forest, and the Pieterpad trail. You can enjoy the sunset and, with a little luck, spot roe deer, pheasants, and hares. In the evening, you can hear the little owls calling. The terrace off the bathroom overlooks the orchard. Coffee and tea are provided.

    It was just fine

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    The secluded location was excellent. The surrounding area consists mainly of sandy paths, forests, large meadows, and farmland.

    Great little cottage, though cooking on the small electric hot plate could be a bit more comfortable. And here’s a tip: set up a picnic table in the garden. It’s wonderful to be able to eat outside when the weather is nice.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    The cottage is in a beautiful location, and it's wonderfully peaceful both inside and around the cottage. A large garden rounds out the experience.
