Just outside Bronkhorst, on the dike in the midst of the beautiful IJssel landscape lies this special property. The former pumping station and its service house are clearly visible in the green landscape from afar. On this striking spot you will stay in the old house of the former pumping station attendant, in a municipal monument. Also located on the IJsseldijk are Kunstruimte Veer with a varied collection of modern art and a restaurant with a terrace. The house has a modernist interior with a nod to the art space and is suitable for two people. The house is equipped with everything you need for a relaxing vacation. Upstairs, the living room, bedroom and even the bathroom offer the most fantastic views of the IJssel, the floodplains, the Grote Beek and the Veluwe. A perfect place to unwind away from it all or to go out and about.
Nature and surroundings
The surrounding area offers many different opportunities to get out and about. Thanks to its unique location, you literally walk into the floodplain within a few meters. The house is located on a cul-de-sac on the dike and can be reached by car. A stone's throw away is the smallest town in the Netherlands; Bronkhorst, which is accessible via the footpath along the old castle hill. The bike path on the dike takes you to the ancient Hanseatic cities of Doesburg and Zutphen. For the culinary minded, the Bronckhorster Proeflokaal in nearby Steenderen is highly recommended. The area is characterized by the many walking and cycling routes through a very varied landscape of forests, vast meadows and water with many castles and estates. Via the nearby ferry you are at the edge of the Veluwe. In short, a wonderful base.

Marc is welcoming and friendly. The cottage is comfortably furnished and fully equipped.
Marc is gastvrij en vriendelijk in het contact. Het huisje is comfortabel ingericht en van alle gemakken voorzien.
I’ve been coming to this area for decades, and the chance to stay in the cottage by the pumping station—made a wish and a dream come true. The view of the floodplains toward the IJssel is magical, and in the evening and at night, it’s like a blanket of tranquility.
From Friday through Sunday, the art space is open to visitors, and you can once again enjoy coffee or tea—with pastries or a grilled sandwich—and/or a soft drink. It’s really fun and cozy! The surrounding area is beautiful for walking or biking—and the lovely, centuries-old town of Bronckhorst is a must-see.
In short: highly recommended!Ik kom al tientallen jaren in deze omgeving en met de mogelijkheid om in het huisje bij het gemaal te verblijven — kwam een wens en droom in vervulling. De uitkijk op de uiterwaarden richting de IJsel is magisch en in de avond & nacht als een deken van rust.
Van vrijdag t/m zondag is de kunstruimte open en te bezichtigen en is er weer de mogelijkheid om koffie/thee — met gebak of een tosti te nuttigen en/of fris. Heel leuk en gezellig! De omgeving is prachtig om te wandelen of te fietsen — en het prachtige eeuwenoude stadje Bronckhorst.
Kortom; van harte aan te bevelen!This text is automatically translated. -

Great—it’s simply yet stylishly decorated. It suits the cottage perfectly. Art and coffee right next door, and you can walk right into town. Lots of opportunities for walking and biking.
Prima, het is sober maar toch met stijl ingericht. Past bij het huisje. Kunst en koffie naast de deur en je loopt zo het stadje in. Veel wandel en fiets mogelijkheden.
A lovely, peaceful spot with a sweeping view.
Fijne rustige plek met een weids uitzicht.
