De Hoorneboeg
Old farms, open heath, slower days
A broad heathland view, woodland paths and the character of old farm buildings set the scene at De Hoorneboeg. Retreats take place in Aan de Hai, two monumental farms whose interiors have been renovated with a contemporary feel. They stand within Buitenplaats De Hoorneboeg, a 13-hectare estate with its own forest, old walking paths and a small hill to explore between sessions. Inside, a workshop room looks onto a woodland garden through a generous window, while a sauna gives guests another way to unwind. An on-site vegetarian farm-to-table restaurant makes meals part of the experience, though retreat packages and dining arrangements may differ. The setting brings together open heath, sheltered green spaces and historic architecture, making the venue feel connected to the landscape rather than separate from it. Check the website for current retreats and practical details before planning a visit.
