Breakfast in the morning sun, both inside and outside. Many species of birds to see and during the walk in the Speulderbos, you can spot all kinds of wildlife. Beautiful hiking and biking trails adjacent to our site. Beautiful sunset on the Houtdorp field heather, which in August is in bloom, you imagine yourself on the steppes of Africa.

    The house itself, quite large, rustic, but with a very nice luxury shower and sink. Top, hear!!! An ideal fenced garden, (full of beautiful flowers) for our labrador "Thor" It also reminded us of the past, because there is less traffic, including from the yard. The sound of mooing cows, seeing so much forest around us. Everything within minutes from this beautiful location. Also the village with neighborhood supermarket, butcher, bakery, and top ice cream store!!! Where you also for a nice bakkie with pastries, or sandwiches can eat. Sosss, highly recommended! Greetings Bas, Astrid and Thor, van Rooijen

What does “contactless stay” mean?
You can stay here without personal contact with the host, for example via a key safe or digital access. A contactless stay does not always have to be mandatory.
What does “Fireworks-free” mean?
The host indicates that the area is firework-free. Firework-free means that no firework bangs can be heard in and around the accommodation. You might occasionally hear some noise or see some light from fireworks set off outside the immediate area. It is important that you agree with the landlord on what you can expect.
