Visschershoeve 📍Lomatalo · Schaijk, Noord-Brabant

This 1920 farmhouse stands in Schaijk, in the north-east of Brabant, a walk from the village with its shops, restaurants and terraces. It borders De Maashorst, the largest nature reserve in the province. The house offers 560 m² for groups of up to 40 guests. The heart of it is "Het Deel", a big central room with dining tables, a lounge corner and a 65-inch TV. The kitchen is well equipped: dishwasher, five-burner gas hob, two ovens, microwave, toaster, toastie grill, air fryer, food processor, fridges with freezer compartments and a separate coffee corner. There is a seating area in the kitchen too. The washing machine, dryer and iron are in the adjoining room. Wifi is good, and there is a toilet for wheelchair users. Above the central room is a large heated play loft, so children have a space of their own when the weather is poor or in winter. It has table football, a pool table, shuffleboard (sjoelbak, a Dutch tabletop game) and plenty of toys. Two dartboards hang in another room. The bedrooms are spread over three floors, most with their own bathroom (shower, toilet and washbasin). Most beds are single boxsprings (90 x 200 cm), plus bunk beds, including two special log-cabin bunks for children. Five high chairs and three cots are available. Behind the house you find a flower-filled garden, a covered terrace, an outdoor kitchen with barbecue, a small football pitch, a trampoline, a table tennis table and more play equipment. A chicken run sits at the very back of the grounds. A large heated hot tub can be used as an option. Ten cars fit on the property. The managers live at the back of the grounds. The farmhouse is mostly rented to families and groups of friends with children. It is not a party venue: outside, quiet is expected from 11 pm.
