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.

    In the future, a charging station for electric cars would be a plus and an extra reason to come back.

    We had a fantastic stay with our family. Comfortable beds; great amenities; and very pleasant interactions with the owners.

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.
