Hofparken Wiltershaar

Hofparken Wiltershaar is a holiday park in Kotten, in the rural area around Winterswijk in the Gelderse Achterhoek. The grounds were designed by a landscape architect, with extensive greenery and water features throughout the site.

Accommodation at Hofparken Wiltershaar

The park offers a wide range of units, from a studio for two people to a group residence for up to twenty. Between those extremes sit Hofvilla Amalia in several configurations for two, four or six guests, Boslodges, Parklodges and Waterlodges. Many units can be booked with a private sauna, a hot tub or both, some have a dog enclosure, and one villa is wheelchair accessible. The Hofresidentie Amalia, the largest option, comes with its own private swimming pond and is suited to groups of up to twenty people.

Facilities on the grounds

At the centre of the park lies a naturally filtered swimming pond with a sunbathing lawn. Guests also have access to a restaurant, a park shop, pétanque courts and picnic spots, along with a shared wellness facility. Electric bicycles are available to hire on site.

What to do around Kotten and Winterswijk

The park sits in the open countryside around Winterswijk, a town known for its limestone geological reserve, the Steengroeve, where fossils from the Triassic period can be found at the surface. The surrounding Achterhoek landscape is predominantly agricultural, with small roads, meadows and woodland that lend themselves well to cycling and walking. The area has a dense network of signposted routes, and the border with Germany runs close by, making cross-border cycling straightforward. Winterswijk itself has a range of shops, cafes and a weekly market.

Getting there

Winterswijk is the nearest town of any size, and the park lies a short distance outside it in a rural setting. The A18 motorway connects the region to Doetinchem and from there to the rest of the Dutch road network.

Who this park suits

Hofparken Wiltershaar suits couples and families looking for a quiet, green setting with the option of private wellness facilities. The group accommodation and the park's capacity for dogs and wheelchair users make it a practical choice for mixed groups travelling together.
