  • 12 persons
  • 6 bedrooms
  • WiFi
  • Pets not allowed
9/10
4.7/5

Our nature house (completely restyled in 2025) is located on the edge of the Dwingelderveld, a Natura 2000 area with panoramic views, a clear starry sky and only birdsong to wake you up. The accommodation consists of two semi-detached cottages with six bedrooms, three bathrooms, two kitchens and living rooms. Ideal for a group of 10 to 12 people who want to be together, but also want to be able to retreat. Outside there is a terrace, outdoor kitchen and hot tub overlooking the meadows and horses. The atmosphere is warm, artful and comfortable, with attention to detail and sustainability. The hot tub is filled with fresh water for each group; the beds are freshly made with beautiful hotel linen. We welcome you at Buitenplaats Het Bonte Paard.

Nature and surroundings

The buitenplaats is located on the edge of the Dwingelderveld, the largest wet moorland in Western Europe. No highways or city noise here, but silence, stars and the call of a curlew. From the farmyard you walk or cycle straight into nature: rolling moors, sandy paths, forests and fens alternate. In every season the area breathes something different - vast and shimmering in summer, mysterious and still in winter. In the immediate vicinity you will find sheep herds, megalithic tombs, charming villages such as Dwingeloo and Ruinen, and an observatory for those who want to explore the night. Here you automatically live a little slower, closer to nature and far from everything that has to be done. Ideal for nature lovers, hikers, cyclists and anyone who wants to clear their head.

    General rating: 9 /10

    A lovely, comfortable stay with plenty of space (both indoors and outdoors), friendly owners, and all in a beautiful setting.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    We had such a wonderful stay here. There were 6 adults and 4 children in our group, and we really enjoyed the lovely house (nice decor!) with plenty (!) of outdoor space and great amenities: the hot tub, the outdoor fire pit, the barbecue, and, of course, the horses that the kids got to ride. Otje and Karel are hospitable and friendly people. All in all, highly recommended!
