Just a few minutes from the farm, a unique canoe or SUP route begins along the winding Dommel. You’ll be taken by bus to the starting point, after which you can paddle back in peace through one of the most beautiful nature areas in Brabant: De Malpie. As you glide over the water, you'll see dragonflies, water birds, and vast green banks pass by. It is a relaxing activity, perfect for families and nature lovers. The trip offers refreshment on hot days and gives you the chance to experience the landscape from a completely different perspective.

Very nice tent. Cooking on real fire, showering outdoors and warming up in the wood-fired hot tub at night! And all that with an incredibly hospitable farmer family. You can look everywhere, stroke the cows, collect your own eggs for breakfast. And all your questions are answered. It is also a beautiful area with all kinds of fun activities. We enjoyed a great long weekend at farm bed the old melkstal❤️ Thanks!

Hele mooie tent. Koken op echt vuur, douchen in de buitenlucht en s avonds opwarmen in de houtgestookte hottub! En dat bij een ontzettend gastvrij boeren gezin. Je mag overal kijken, de koeien aaien, zelf eitjes rapen voor bij het ontbijt. En al je vragen worden beantwoord. Het is ook nog eens een prachtige omgeving met allerlei leuke activiteiten mogelijkheden. We hebben genoten van een geweldig lang weekend bij boerenbed de oude melkstal❤️ Bedankt!

Staying with Esther and Wim and with Rex; what an adventure it was!🏕 At 64 for the 1st time : sleeping in a box bed in a tent, cooking pasta carbonara in the open air over a fire, being at the birth of a calf, playing rummicub by candlelight over a beer, showering in a wooden hut - outside , making tea in a kettle on the wood stove.🫖 When I stepped into the tent I imagined myself in a fairy tale from the Efteling!🍄 All worries of the past hectic days disappeared like snow in the sun ; how soothing a meadow full of cows can be (except during childbirth , we "city people" thought that was just pathetic). But once he was born after an hour and a half , it was "our" little bull !🐮 Every day we went to visit him , just like the cats . Chickens and guinea pigs. A delight for animal lovers like us. Also Rex .the little dog .became a faithful visitor at our tent.🐶 Of course we had Esther pamper us daily with an extensive breakfast service: a chest full of local produce that we had enough of at lunch too!🥐🥚🫖 Fortunately, there was plenty of walking so we got some exercise as well. For all our "farming knowledge" we could turn to Wim : he explained everything! In the little store we could buy treats and handy things that we were still short of, such as firelighters when one bleak morning we couldn't get the stove going with a cardboard box that had contained the apple pie....😂 Once home while looking at the pictures. homesickness struck; what an insanely fun time we had! Thank you Esther and Wim! I hope you also enjoyed our visit. Greetings from : Janny , Annet , Ine and Anja.

Logeren bij Esther en Wim en bij Rex; wat was het een avontuur!🏕 Op je 64e voor de 1e x : slapen in een bedstee in een tent, pasta carbonara koken in de buitenlucht op een haardvuur, bij de geboorte zijn van een kalfje, rummicub spelen bij kaarslicht onder het genot van een biertje, douchen in een houten hutje - buiten , thee zetten in een ketel op de houtkachel.🫖 Toen ik de tent binnenstapte waande ik mezelf in een sprookje van de Efteling!🍄 Alle zorgen van de afgelopen hectische dagen verdwenen als sneeuw voor de zon ; wat kan een weiland vol koeien rustgevend zijn (behalve tijdens de bevalling , dat vonden wij "stadsmensen" maar zielig.) Maar toen hij na anderhalf uur eenmaal geboren was , was het "ons " stiertje !🐮 Iedere dag gingen we hem opzoeken, net als de poezen. Kippen en cavia's. Een genot voor dierenliefhebbers zoals wij. Ook Rex .het hondje .werd een trouwe bezoeker bij onze tent.🐶 Natuurlijk lieten wij ons dagelijks verwennen door Esther met een uitgebreide ontbijt service: een kist vol streekproducten waar we ook tijdens de lunch genoeg aan hadden!🥐🥚🫖 Gelukkig was er genoeg te wandelen zodat we ook nog enige beweging kregen. Voor al onze "boeren weetjes" konden we bij Wim terecht : hij legde alles uit! In het winkeltje konden we terecht voor lekkernijen en handige dingen die we mog tekort kwamen .zoals aanmaakblokjes toen we op een gure ochtend de houtkachel niet aan kregen met een kartonnen doos waar de appeltaart in had gezeten....😂 Eenmaal thuis tijdens het kijken van de foto's. sloeg de heimwee toe; wat hebben wij het waanzinnig leuk gehad! Dank jullie wel Esther en Wim! Ik hoop dat jullie het ook leuk vonden dat wij er waren???🤭 Groetjes van : Janny , Annet , Ine en Anja.
