Enjoy a vacation in the middle of the beautiful scenery of the Achterhoek. We have completely rebuilt this cozy cottage single-handedly with many reused materials. From an old barn it has been turned into a comfortable vacation home with floor heating, bath and all facilities needed for a wonderful stay in the quiet surroundings of Aalten. Downstairs are a bedroom with double bed (1.60x2 m) and the bathroom, upstairs there is a loft and a (children's) bedroom with two single beds(2 times 0.90x2 m) The cottage is about 80m2. There is a good and fast wifi network, the kitchen has an oven, fridge freezer, dishwasher, filter coffee machine and kettle. There is a smart TV, puzzles and games. There is an 11kW charging point for the car for a fee. Please note that the front door is only 1.85 meters high and some people find the stairs up steep (see photos).

Nature and surroundings

The cottage is located next to our farm at the end of a dead-end road, just outside Aalten (4km). You can walk out the door to go for a walk, you have a good chance of seeing deer nearby. Nearby are the nature reserves Het Aaltens Goor and the Vennebulten. At the beginning of the road is a junction of the bicycle junction network. The MTB route also starts 200 m from the vacation home. It is nice and quiet here, but stores are only 10 minutes away. There is a swimming pool/sauna just across the border in Germany (10 km). Book town Bredevoort, with swimming lake De Slingeplas is 8 km away. Doetinchem and Winterswijk are 15 minutes away by car.

    The cottage "the Poggenschot" is detached with the owners within walking distance. Very pleasant!

    A very comfortable cottage! A beautiful living space and a very luxurious bathroom! The view over the fields in winter time is fantastic, we saw from our easy chair a pack of deer crossing the field at full speed Beautiful sunrise and sunset in this beautiful area.

    From the moment we entered we felt completely at home in this beautifully and sustainably converted barn. Very tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. There is a very pleasant vibe/atmosphere in the cottage. Nice beds, kitchen, shower room and living room. Environment is wonderfully quiet and very restful. Enough to do in the neighborhood with child-friendly restaurants, supermarkets and nature within cycling distance. Just across the border at ±20 min drive by car is also a nice indoor pool. In the center of Aalten is also a very good coffee bar, with freshly roasted coffee. All in all, highly recommended and worth repeating!

    Beautiful cottage from which you can make beautiful cycling and walking tours. Also swimming in the slingeplas in Bredevoort is a must.
