Natuurhoeve (6 persons)

Natuurhoeve is a holiday home for up to six people, set within Park Westerkogge in Noord-Holland, close to the historic town of Hoorn and the Markermeer. The park sits in a quiet stretch of Dutch countryside, surrounded by meadows and waterways that run through the grounds. It is the kind of setting where the landscape does most of the work, with open skies and the slow rhythm of water making it easy to slow down.

The park has a heated outdoor swimming pool, so you are not relying solely on the weather for a swim. If you want to get out on the water, you can hire SUP boards, rowing boats, or pedalos on site. Bikes are also available to rent, which suits the flat terrain around Berkhout well. You can fish within the park, and there is a barbecue service if you want to eat outdoors without the hassle of bringing your own kit. A bread roll delivery service, playgrounds, a football pitch, a laundrette, and free Wi-Fi round out what is on offer at park level.

Hoorn is close enough for a day trip if you want to see some of the old harbour architecture and waterfront the region is known for. The waterway-laced surroundings are genuinely attractive rather than just a backdrop, and the park is well suited to families or groups of friends who want a relaxed base in the Noord-Holland countryside.
