Nature and surroundings
You stay in the middle of the National Park Drents-Friese Wold, one of the largest nature reserves in the Netherlands. In the garden the nature experience begins with all kinds of birds and regularly a squirrel jumps by. From the cottage you can walk or cycle straight into the woods. Rental bikes can be brought to the house and picked up again: very convenient. There is plenty to do, think of forest walks, heathland, the Aekingerzand, the Unesco Colonies of Weldadigheid. picking gardens, children's climbing parks and nature playgrounds and forest walks. Lake Canada is nearby and there are several beautiful watchtowers (De Bosbergtoren, de Zeven and the watchtower on the Doldersummerveld). For dogs several off-leash areas and a splash pond. Whether you come for peace, nature, history and/or adventure: this area offers it all.

A comfortable and cozy cottage. The big plus we found the stove, very cozy on the couch with a glass of wine there. The cottage is very complete with a well equipped kitchen, games and candles. We also liked the fact that there was more than enough crockery in the cupboard, so you don't have to wash up after every cup of coffee or meal. The bedrooms and bathrooms are not very spacious, but not so small as to bother us. The place is a bit damp and in some places slightly dated.
Een comfortabel en knus huisje. Het grote pluspunt vonden we de kachel, erg gezellig op de bank met een glas wijn erbij. Het huisje is heel compleet met een goed voorziene keuken, spelletjes en kaarsen. We vonden het ook prettig dat er meer dan voldoende servies in de kast stond, zo sta je niet na elke kop koffie of maaltijd de boel meteen weer af te wassen. De slaapkamers en badkamers zijn niet heel ruim, maar voor ons niet zo klein dat we ons er aan stoorden. Het is er wat vochtig en op sommige plekken iets gedateerd.
The cottage was lovely and quiet among the greenery. You walk right into the nature reserve.
Het huisje was heerlijk rustig gelegen tussen het groen. Je loopt er zo het natuurgebied in.

Lovely place to unwind and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
Heerlijke plek om tot rust te komen en te genieten van de prachtige omgeving.
Great place to rest! Very varied and wonderful hiking in the immediate area. Fine cottage, practical, comfortable and clean. Pleasant and quick contact with the landlord, flexible and attentive. Great beds, even for tall people! Only "minus point" I found the bathroom, was very cramped, especially for my 2 meter long husband. Anyway highly recommended to rest and enjoy the beautiful nature!!!
Prima plek om uit te rusten! Heel gevarieerd en heerlijk wandelgebied in de directe omgeving. Fijn huisje, praktisch, comfortabel en schoon. Prettig en snel contact met de verhuurder, flexibel en attent. Prima bedden, ook voor lange mensen! Enige "minpuntje" vond ik de badkamer, was erg krap, zeker voor mijn 2 meter lange man.
Hoe dan ook een aanrader om lekker uit te rusten en genieten van de prachtige natuur!!!This text is automatically translated.
