The space

At the foot of the Goudsberg hill, this cosy loft cottage sits on a private estate bordering the Lunteren forests. The fenced terrace looks out over a horse meadow and into the trees beyond.

Good to know: The cottage is adjacent to a stable where a few horses are kept. Extra insulation has been added so it won't disturb your sleep — but you may catch a glimpse of them over the meadow fence.
About the duvet: You'll notice the duvet has no separate cover, that's intentional for extra hygiene. It's a Zelesta duvet, a Dutch design where the cover is built in rather than removable. Because the entire duvet is washable, dust mites, bacteria, and allergens have far less chance to build up, whereas with a traditional duvet often only the cover gets washed while the duvet itself stays less clean. The whole duvet is washed after every single stay. Fresh, clean, and ready for you every time.
