Nature and surroundings
The cottage is located in Merksplas, 3 km from the center. Free plot, with neighbors only on 1 side. Those who linger on site can immerse themselves in the greenery. Both of the newly landscaped garden, and through the wooded surroundings. From the cottage depart several walks, both through forests, fenland and heathland. Good for hours of hiking fun. In Merksplas itself you can also visit the Colonies of Weldadigheid. Beautifully renovated site that is on the UNESCO world heritage list. Located in the woods, so again delicious to combine with a wnadeling with your four-legged (s). 15 min drive you have: - Hoogstraten, nice town with plenty of shopping and entertainment opportunities - The enclave municipality of Baarle Hertog / Nassau is a known tourist attraction. During the week, but certainly also on Sundays nice shopping and terraces or cozy bite to eat.

Philip October 27, 2025 General rating:It was cozy coming in. Warmth came to us, beds made, bath and kitchen towels already provided. Sweets for the dogs. Kitchen sufficiently equipped to prepare food, with dishwasher. The wood stove was very cozy. But also electric heating and air conditioning possible. Ideal for dogs - we had three with us - the equipment provided was abundant (crates, mats, blankets, toys, food and water bowls, outdoor digging facilities, etc.). This tastes like more !!! Next time we visit the area, this will be our first preference. Thanks to Stephanie (our hostess) for not being too present, but being ready immediately in case of problems.
Het was gezellig binnenkomen. Warmte kwam ons toe, bedden opgemaakt, bad- en keukenhanddoeken reeds aanwezig. Snoepjes voor de hondjes. Keuken voldoende uitgerust om eten klaar te maken, met vaatwasmachine. Gezelligheid troef bij de houtkachel. Maar ook electrische verwarming en airco mogelijk. Ideaal voor hondjes - we hadden er drie mee- de voorziene uitrusting voor hen was overvloedig (benches, ligmatten, dekens, speeltjes, eet- en drinkbakken, graafmogelijkheden buiten, ...) Dit smaakt naar meer !!! Bij een volgend bezoek aan de streek, zal dit onze eerste voorkeur zijn. Met dank aan Stephanie (onze gastvrouw) om niet té aanwezig te zijn, maar in geval van problemen onmiddellijk klaar te staan.
Nature, peace & environment:Lovely stay in beautiful surroundings. Ultimate experience for the doggies.
Heerlijk vertoeven in een mooie omgeving. Ultieme beleving voor de hondjes.

G October 17, 2025 General rating:Just because of the busy road and not being safe to walk dogs to the area to walk causes 1 point deduction. But I hold municipality responsible for that. Rest was top notch.
Alleen door de drukke weg en het niet veilig lopen met honden naar het gebied om te wandelen zorgt voor 1 punt aftrek. Maar dat hou ik gemeente verantwoordelijk voor. Rest was top.
Nature, peace & environment:Chalet is definitely spacious. And the garden is nice and big, where our 3 labradoodles had a great time. Neighbors are not right next to you so you do not suffer from that. Upon arrival the dogs received a nice present from the owner. Enough food bowls, baskets, blankets and toys lying there. Furnishing is also cozy and neat. We did hear the road. Especially truck traffic and tractors with trailers you did hear. We were there in October. The only downside is that busy road. Not because of the noise, but you have to walk along it with your dogs if you want to take them for a walk. That's just dangerous. Only solution is to "the approximately 700 meters" where you can walk, drive there by car. Owners can't be blamed. This is municipality/province related who should take care of this.
Chalet is zeker ruim te noemen. En de tuin is lekker groot, waar onze 3 labradoodles prima konden vertoeven. Buren zitten niet direct naast je dus daar heb je geen last van. Bij aankomst kregen de honden een leuk presentje van de eigenaresse. Genoeg eetbakken, manden, dekens en speelgoed dat daar ligt. Inrichting is ook gezellig en netjes. De weg hoorden wij wel. Vooral vrachtverkeer en de tractoren met aanhangers hoorde je wel. Wij zaten daar in oktober. Het enige wat wel een minpunt is, is die drukke weg. Niet vanwege het geluid, maar je moet daarlangs lopen met je honden als je ermee wilt gaan wandelen. Dat is gewoon gevaarlijk. Enige oplossing is om "de ongeveer 700 meter" waar je kan lopen, met de auto er naartoe te rijden. Eigenaren kan je het niet kwalijk nemen. Dit is gemeente/provincie gerelateerd die hiervoor moet zorgen.
