Nature and surroundings

The cottage is located in Merksplas, 3 km from the town center. It sits on a private lot, with neighbors on only one side. Those who choose to stay and relax here can immerse themselves in nature—both in the newly landscaped garden and the wooded surroundings. Several hiking trails start right from the cottage, leading through forests, marshlands, and heathland. They offer hours of hiking fun. And of course, we can show you the “less-traveled” paths. In Merksplas itself, you can also visit the Koloniën van Weldadigheid. It’s a beautifully renovated site listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. It’s located right in the middle of the woods, so it’s also a great place to combine with a walk with your four-legged friend(s). A 15-minute drive away, you’ll find: - Hoogstraten, a charming town with plenty of shopping and nightlife options. - The enclave municipality of Baarle-Hertog/Nassau is a well-known tourist attraction. During the week—and especially on Sundays—you can enjoy strolling through the shops, relaxing at outdoor cafes, or grabbing a bite to eat.

    Everything is present in and around the cottage. You can tell that everything has been thought about. Especially for people with a dog, a lot is present: towels, blankets, baskets, large lawn and a sandbox!!!

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    Nice and green, tall trees around the cottage, large lawn. Only thing you occasionally hear is traffic from the main road. Inside you can hardly hear that noise, especially if the door of the conservatory is closed.

What does “contactless stay” mean?
You can stay here without personal contact with the host, for example via a key safe or digital access. A contactless stay does not always have to be mandatory.
What does “Fireworks-free” mean?
The host indicates that the area is firework-free. Firework-free means that no firework bangs can be heard in and around the accommodation. You might occasionally hear some noise or see some light from fireworks set off outside the immediate area. It is important that you agree with the landlord on what you can expect.
