General information
Looking for a cosy hideaway for just the two of you? De Schone Leij is a charming, pet-friendly holiday home surrounded by greenery, close to both forest and beach – the perfect base for a relaxed couples’ escape.
The house is quietly located on the edge of nature: within about 500 metres you walk straight into the forest, and in roughly 5 km you’re on the wide, sandy beach. Supermarket, public transport and the train station are all nearby, so you can leave the car if you like and still explore the area with ease.
Inside, you’ll find a warm and comfortable living space with a fireplace where you can curl up together after a day outside. The open kitchen is well equipped for simple breakfasts or a cosy dinner at home. The bedroom offers a comfortable double bed, plus sofa beds and a single box bed, and there’s even a camping cot available, handy if you’re travelling with a baby. Central heating keeps the whole place pleasantly warm in every season.
Step outside onto your private terrace with garden furniture and enjoy your morning coffee in the fresh air or a glass of wine as the sun goes down. With private parking right by the accommodation, arrival and departure are hassle-free.
From De Schone Leij you can easily discover the best of the Bergen region. Wander through historic Bergen with its artistic vibe, or take a day trip to Bergen’s famous Bryggen Wharf, a UNESCO World Heritage site with colourful wooden houses and a unique maritime atmosphere. Love views? Hike or take the funicular up Mount Floyen for sweeping panoramas over the water and the city.
Food lovers are in the right place too: try hearty Norwegian dishes at the laid-back restaurant Pingvinen, or treat yourselves to a refined dinner at Restaurant 1877.
Before arrival, you can optionally book a utilities & service package for EUR 50. This covers final cleaning, utility consumption, service support and protection against minor damages, so you can focus fully on enjoying your stay. Prefer to arrange things yourself? That’s fine too, as long as you leave the accommodation in good condition.
Whether you come for long walks in the forest, lazy days on the beach, or good food and culture, De Schone Leij offers a comfortable, intimate retreat for two – with your dog happily by your side.

Beautiful and quiet location outside of Bergen. Photos do not quite match reality because things have already been replaced. In addition, we also see some things in the cottage that are also in need of replacement (did we look through). Arrival and departure are low key and gives you plenty of room. There was only Apple TV present which was a miss for us as we do not have an Apple. In addition, our advice would be to put down (or make a booklet of) the instruction sheet about the house in various languages so that everyone can read it in their own language. Not everyone is equally good in other languages. All in all, we had a great stay there but feel that the quality of the furnishings could be a little higher relative to the price you pay.

Mooie en rustige locatie buiten Bergen. De foto's komen niet helemaal overeen met de werkelijkheid omdat er al zaken vervangen zijn. Daarnaast zien we ook in het huisje nog wel een aantal zaken die ook aan vervanging toe zijn (hebben wij doorheen gekeken). Aankomst en vertrek zijn laagdrempelig geregeld en geeft je voldoende ruimte. Er was alleen Apple TV aanwezig wat voor ons een gemis was aangezien wij geen Apple hebben. Daarnaast zou ons advies zijn om van het instructieblad over de woning diverse talen neer te leggen (of daar een boekje van te maken) zodat iedereen het in zijn eigen taal kan lezen. Niet iedereen is even goed in andere talen. Al met al hebben wij daar een prima verblijf gehad maar vinden wij dat de kwaliteit van de inrichting wel iets hoger mag zijn ten opzichte van de prijs die je betaald.

The surroundings and village of Bergen were beautiful and cozy. The location of the cottage was nice and quiet. But unfortunately the cottage was neglected and full of dilapidated and also broken stuff. And inside the house was soaked with the sour smoke smell of the fireplace, which also got into all your clothes. Furthermore, the terrace was not cleaned and the woodland garden completely overgrown. So poorly maintained. So it was not really worth the price asked. That was disappointing. The whole place could definitely use a major refresh.

De omgeving en dorp Bergen waren mooi en gezellig. De locatie van het huisje was mooi en stil. Maar helaas was het huisje verwaarloosd en vol met aftandse en ook kapotte spullen. En binnen was het huis doordrengt met de zure rooklucht van de openhaard, die ook in al je kleding ging zitten. Verder was het terras niet schoongemaakt en de bostuin helemaal overwoekerd. Dus slecht onderhouden. Het was de gevraagde prijs dus niet echt waard. Dat was wel teleurstellend. Het geheel kan zeker wel een flinke opfrisser gebruiken.

We very much enjoyed the beautiful and special wooden house full of light through large windows. The view from the excellent bed was on the forest which was absolutely stunning with a morning mist. Robust and romantic stay with lovely fireplace. And fortunately super clean.

We hebben zeer genoten van het prachtige en bijzondere houten huis vol licht door grote raampartijen. Het uitzicht vanuit het prima bed was op het bos dat helemaal schitterend was met een ochtend nevel. Robuust en romantisch verblijf met heerlijke openhaard. En gelukkig super schoon.

Fine, stylishly decorated house in a beautiful secluded location near the dunes. If you arrive in the evening is a good search

Fijne, stijlvol ingericht huis op een mooie afgelegen locatie vlak bij de duinen. Als je savonds aankomt is het wel even goed zoeken
