This nature house (TINY HOUSE) is characterized by its unique location. Located in the former boiler room connected to the main house by a hallway, it has its own entrance through the rural garden and overlooks the adjacent orchard under construction. The cottage has all the comforts you could want for a relaxing overnight stay. Everything is furnished with your well-being in mind, so you will feel right at home.The cottage is comfortably furnished and has a separate dining area with its own crockery and refrigerator/microwave. The excellent double bed consists of separate mattresses with separate comforters. Sustainability is important to us, but so is comfort. Our linen is high quality recycled cotton. Cleaning products are ecological and smell delicious. And in the shower you will find shower foam from a small perfume shop in Ireland...very special! Pets are not allowed.
Nature and surroundings
The Balloërveld nature reserve is a 367-hectare moorland in the municipality of Aa and Hunze, in the Dutch province of Drenthe. The heathland lies on a high plateau between the valleys of the Looner Diep and the Rolderdiep. The predominant heather and grassy heath vegetation is sparsely interspersed with peat lakes, some tufts of pine forest and small sand drifts here and there. The Shepherds of Balloo graze the Balloërveld on behalf of the Forestry Commission. The field is crisscrossed with a network of dirt roads and cart tracks, some of which still date from before the Middle Ages. Archaeological research has brought to light burial mounds, an urn field and remains of arable farming from the Iron Age, as well as finds indicating Stone Age habitation. The Pieterpad is 800 meters away, numerous bicycle routes and the cycling network only 30 meters away. The NS-station of Assen is 5 kilometers away, the bus stops almost at the door.

A cozy, charming, and compact B&B. Great bed and bathroom, and in the morning, a hearty and delicious breakfast with a fresh egg every day. Small kitchen with ample coffee and tea-making facilities. A microwave is available to heat something up, but there are no cooking facilities. That’s the only reason it’s a 9 and not a 10. But I didn’t miss it—I enjoyed a hearty breakfast every morning and had the chance to have delicious lunches and dinners during my walks and bike rides in the area.
Every evening, the host put my bike in the shed, and the next day it was ready and waiting for me.
In short, I had a wonderful few days and would love to come back again.Gezellige, sfeervolle en compacte B&B. Prima bed en badkamer en In de ochtend een uitgebreid en heerlijk ontbijt met iedere dag een vers gelegd eitje. Kleine keuken met ruime koffie en theefaciliteiten. Een magnetron is beschikbaar om iets op te warmen maar geen kookgelegenheid. Dat is de enige reden dat het een 9 en geen 10 is. Maar ik heb het niet gemist, iedere ochtend een uitgebreid ontbijt en op de dag zelf tijdens de wandel- en fietstochten in de omgeving heerlijk kunnen lunchen/ dineren.
Mijn fiets werd iedere avond door de gastheer in de schuur gezet en de volgende dag stond hij weer voor mij klaar.
Kortom een paar heerlijke dagen gehad en ik kom graag nog eens terugA charming B&B in a unique location right across from the Balloërveld. You’ll receive a warm and very friendly welcome. Privacy is guaranteed thanks to a private entrance and parking. You walk through an orchard and across a small bridge to the cottage, which has its own seating area. During the day, the chickens come to scratch around near the cottage.
A great base for walks and bike rides in the immediate area, including the Balloërveld and the Gasterse Dunes.Sfeervolle B&B op een unieke locatie direct tegenover het Balloërveld. Gastvrij en heel vriendelijk ontvangen. Privacy gegarandeerd door een eigen entree en parkeergelegenheid. Via een boomgaard en bruggetje loop je naar het huisje met een eigen zitje. Overdag komen de kippen gezellig rondscharrelen bij het huisje.
Prima uitvalsbasis voor wandelingen en fietstochten in de directe omgeving o.a. Balloërveld en de Gasterse duinen.This text is automatically translated. -
