fig. 117This single-storey holiday cottage sits at the edge of the dunes near Soest, on the "De Groene Duinen" estate, and sleeps up to four guests across two bedrooms. Inside, you get a kitchen and bathroom, while outside there is a veranda and a private terrace looking out over a wooded hillside and the Soester zandverstuivingen, the sandy drift plains that define this stretch of the Utrecht Ridge. The landscape here has a quiet, unhurried character - the kind that drew artists including M.C. Escher and Rien Poortvliet to the same forests and heathlands.
The surrounding area is well suited to walking and mountain biking, with trails running directly from the estate into the woodland and dunes. When you want a change of scene, the medieval centre of Amersfoort is close by, and Amsterdam is around 30 minutes by car, making day trips straightforward without feeling like an obligation.
The cottage itself is compact and all on one level, which works well for guests who prefer to avoid stairs. There are no specific facilities listed beyond the basics, so this is a stay that leans on its natural setting rather than on-site amenities. If you are after somewhere quiet, with immediate access to open countryside and a real sense of distance from city life, this cottage delivers that well. It suits couples or small families who want a grounded, nature-focused base rather than a resort atmosphere.
