We were made very welcome at Den Heijkant, our lodge was a converted barn with its own sheltered outdoor table and seating, comfortable kitchen/diner and hob/grill oven for cooking.
It was very peaceful and quiet - only an occasional combine harvester & tractor to compete with the sounds of the wildlife and views of sunsets.
The lodge is well situated for exploring the local area, castles, memorials, countryside, pancake restaurants and Eindhoven are all fairly close.
We found the mattresses a little soft, but this was common all across the Netherlands.
Breakfast was served in another beautifully converted barn - all fresh and tasty, and if you ask the current owners are happy to share the photos of how previous owners converted a set of (protected) ruins into the charming rural accommodation of Den Heijkant.
We would love to come back!
