Unwind in this cozy comfortable nature house in N.P. de Biesbosch. Originally a typical rural worker's cottage, built around 1900. Now a restored monument, tastefully and creatively decorated, with attention to (Biesbosch) history and art. Make use of the library and various games. There is an electric fireplace in the cozy sitting area. With the underfloor heating, this is also a lovely cozy place in winter! The cheerful kitchen is fully equipped for a stay a little further from civilization, but you can already eat out within 5 km. Enjoy the sun on the terrace with lounge chairs and BBQ. On the dike is a picnic table where you can experience the most beautiful sunset over the water of the Biesbosch. In the evening you lie on your comfortable king size box spring listening to the silence and the calling owls: this is the Biesbosch! Private access and parking. Not suitable for children, young babies in consultation

Nature and surroundings

The nights here are dark, let yourself be impressed by an immense starry sky ! Directly from your nature house there are many walking and cycling routes. Nearby, in season, the bicycle ferry sails to the Noordwaard, the other side of the Biesbosch. Below the dike runs the Steurgat, one of the larger creeks of the Biesbosch, so you can swim and sail directly from your cottage. We have a 2 pers. There is plenty of wildlife around the house: hedgehogs, hares, foxes and even the pine marten has been spotted. Look around you to the wealth of bird species, hear the Golden Oriole and see the Hen Harrier and the iconic White-tailed Eagle ! Go out actively, into the Biesbosch, and admire the Unesco World Heritage Site the Dutch Waterline. Or stroll through the fortified towns of Woudrichem and Heusden. If available, we can bring fresh seasonal produce from the organic vegetable garden or fresh free-range eggs from our adjacent farm.

    A charming place to stay, equipped with all the amenities and full of surprises, with all sorts of old tools.

    Nature, peace & environment: 4 /5

    A nice spot, behind/below a dike where lots of cyclists ride by, often talking loudly to each other. I didn't find it bothersome.

    A very nice nature house, fully equipped. It was spotless when we arrived.
    The weather wasn’t great, but that made it feel all the cozier inside.
    The nature house was more spacious than we thought it would be based on the photos.
    There was plenty of information available about the surrounding area.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    This nature house is surrounded by a beautiful stretch of Dutch countryside.

    A 10 would mean perfection! That was close to the overall picture, but it just wasn't. Giving a 9.5 is not possible (but it is our actual judgment), so that leaves a 9 to give. I also don't think, by reading the guestbook, that perfection is possible.

    Because everyone has his / her wishes. As tenants you are dependent on "the soul and bliss, that the landlords put in their nature house! My wife and I have experienced last week that that at Polderkeet The Pauluswel is in order! This nature house is on our list maybe one more time!

    Nature, peace & environment: 4 /5

    A pretty much complete and also, because of the historical attributes, nicely decorated cottage, which has enough space for 2 people. Activities outdoors we generally always do in the morning hours, and then relax in the cottage / shelter. If you are lucky with the weather, as we were last week, then you move all those follow-up activities, which you want to do at home, to the (in the afternoon and evening hours) sun-drenched terrace. For us, again because of the beautiful weather, 6 out of 7 mornings also the ideal place for breakfast. Do you sometimes get unexpected visitors (2x a bunny) and also hear (and sometimes) see the many, different birds. Furthermore, a great base for cycling trips in the area and the choice is vast! The Biesbosch of course, but also the Land of Altena.
