Hof Caerdebeeck - The Source

Nature, peace and space. . Welcome to Hof Caerdebeeck!

Hof Caerdebeeck is a farm from 1269, surrounding a closed courtyard, owned by the monastery of St. Gerlach for centuries, with a unique historical history. You stay in the heart of this national monument; in the original farmhouse.

Caerdebeeck is located in the middle of a beautiful nature reserve. A gently sloping area with many meadows, vegetable and fruit gardens. An ideal walking and cycling environment. One of the Municipality's water extraction areas is located behind and around Caerdebeeck. Around the corner is the Kunrader quarry, which has been in use again since the rise of brick several decades ago, since 2012, thanks to the increasing demand for traditional limestone.

From the kitchen you look out onto the attractive courtyard , with a pond with water lilies. The sun shines here from 8 a.m. and you can have breakfast by the pond in peace and quiet. On a clear night you can enjoy a beautiful moon.

't Hof contains a variety of plants and shrubs in and around the pond, including an olive, peach, raspberry and fig tree. 't Hof is also the 'favorite hangout' of various birds. In addition to great tits, magpies and blackbirds, one of our guests recently discovered the rare bullfinch. The swallows have made Hof Caerdebeeck their permanent residence. They return annually to their nests, artificially suspended from beams.

Located in the courtyard, near the pond and the old well, along a blue stone staircase, your entrance.
There are three rooms at the entrance: a cozy old-fashioned farmhouse kitchen with conveniences such as refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, oven, filter coffee and Nespresso machine.
