Angela and Sjaak are joint owners of the cozy Achterhoek farm 't Veller that was built in 1928 with the adjacent detached holiday home 't Pothuus. 'T Pothuus used to be used to enjoy lunch with the servants after a hard morning's work. We are bon vivants and blessed with four healthy children and 5 grandchildren, so we hope to be able to enjoy life in this beautiful place in the scenic landscape for a long time to come.

Very nice house with all comforts, what is also nice are the chickens and goats in the run next to and behind the house. We really enjoyed the surroundings of Ruurlo.

A vacuum cleaner has been provided. Due to the bad week with a lot of rain, there is a poor reception with the satellite dish. Fortunately, this house also has an interactive HD receiver with all channels. Why has this not been...

A nice, quiet place to use as a base for the discovery of the Achterhoek. We enjoyed the peace and nature around the cottage. The owner clearly respects privacy.

We had a wonderful time in the Achterhoek. The cottage was a haven of peace! We went out every day. Lovely walk around the various castles in Ruurlo, (love path), Vorden and Lochem (Ampsen castle). Also the routes at Lebbenbrug...
