A weekend from our door

Three days that start and end at the house, with bikes, a packed lunch and dinner waiting.

  1. The moor road above the tree line

    Saturday: over the moor

    Borrow two bikes after breakfast and take the moor road to the top, 40 km with a tea room halfway.

  2. A gravel road bending through an autumn forest under a grey sky

    Sunday: the forest loop

    A packed lunch from the kitchen and 25 km of gravel through the woods behind the village.

  3. Waves on the sand at the dunes

    Monday: the long beach

    A slow breakfast, the cliff path to the dunes and a swim if the sea allows. Checkout is at noon.

The house

We are a family of four with six rooms, a kitchen and a shed of bikes. Dinner is one menu of what the boats bring in, and we will tell you where the tide is before you ask.
