Diever self catering Dutch farmhouse - Historic home in Drenthe, Netherlands

A large, well-equipped and tastefully furnished Dutch farmhouse dating from 1890 situated in the centre of unspoilt Diever village. British-owned and located on the edge of the Drents-Friese Wold (6100 hectares), one of the biggest national parks of the Netherlands, with 32 marked walks and numerous cycle paths. Also situated close by to National Park Dwingelderveld (3692 hectares) - the largest moorland on the European Continent - with its 60 kms of walking trails and 40 kms of bicycle paths.

Views:Views to countryside

Local activities in this area of outstanding natural beauty include walking, bicycling, horseriding and birdwatching. Sailing and fishing can be enjoyed at Giethoorn (the Venice of the North). The provincial capital at Assen is just 25 minutes away. While Emmen (with its world-famous zoo), the city of Groningen ('shop till you drop') and the German border are all less than an hour's drive away. For the children, there are 18 funparks in the surrounding area. And more than 25 museums will provide an interest to each member of the family (yes, there's even a museum of comic books!) Then there's Diever village itself ... its restaurants, cafes, shops and supermarket ... its 14th Century church ... and famously renowned for the open-air productions of Shakespeare which have been re-enacted in its forest 'amphitheatre' every Summer since 1946.
