B&B in an oriental yurt

This romantic yurt is suitable as summer and winter accommodation. It is located in a large, private city garden in the city of Enschede. Totally unwind in this artistic nomadic house with a wood stove and small terrace, in a fairytale garden. Within 10 minutes cycling, you are in the city and if you cycle the other way, you are within 10 minutes in beautiful countryside. In front of the door, you can park for free. There is a key safe at the gate - from 15.00 you can arrive whenever you want.

The Yurt
The yurt is made in Mongolia and is equipped with everything you need, including candles, incense and drawing supplies. Most of the furnishings consist of unusual vintage items. You are out and about. The yurt has running water, electricity, wifi and a kitchenette. Hot water is made with the kettle. The kitchenette has a two-burner stove, a mini-fridge and everything else you need for cooking (including oil, vinegar, spices), eating and making coffee/tea. There is also a dining table and chairs, a sitting/sleeping sofa and a large Harry Potter mirror. Under the bed you can put your things (large bed bins), there is also space in other cupboards. Among other things, you will find games, drawing materials, candles and incense for optimal coziness together or alone. The couch can be folded out into an extra bed, but this takes up the necessary floor space. In front of the yurt is a small sitting area overlooking the pond. Behind the yurt is another sitting area and also a sauna (15,- wood-fired and suitable for 2 to 3 persons). Further in the garden there is a
picnic table and fire pit for general use....

The Garden
The yurt is located in a large, tree-lined garden with high fences that has no view from the street. There is plenty to see, including pheasants, a pond, free-roaming chickens. Evergreen shrubs provide vistas and privacy.

Bathroom
The guest bathroom has a 2-person bathtub, extra shower stall, toilet, sink and washing machine and is 25 metres from the yurt, directly accessible through an outside door. In the yurt hang bathrobes and slippers for the night's walk. You share the guest bathroom with log cabin guests (maximum 4, usually 2). From the yurt you can see if it is occupied and if necessary, you can also use our bathroom.

Winter and summer
The yurt is lined with 2 thick layers of felt, from sheep's wool, camel hair and goat's wool. In summer: thin comforters, fans and a cool yurt thanks to the shade of the trees. If necessary, there is a small air conditioner.
In winter: the wood stove provides instant heat - it's ready to light when you arrive. Firewood is there for you, for the night also briquettes that burn for a long time. Very thick down comforters will keep you warm; there are also warm bathrobes and slippers. With the glow of the briquettes, you can easily make a new fire in the morning.
Any extras you can book at the bed and breakfast

- Bike rental: ordinary bikes, 7.50 pp/per day
- Breakfast: a deluxe breakfast for 8,50 pp

Pets
In the garden we have chickens that sometimes run loose and pheasants in a run. Dogs are welcome - please keep them on a leash in the garden. If your dog is afraid of chickens, please let us know and we will keep them inside.

Noise and environment:
The street is quiet and the garden feels like a forest, yet we are in a residential area. Many guests say it is so quiet, but sometimes there is noise - the pheasant rooster making its call, a car or a dog walker. Across the street is a 10-meter-deep railroad ditch through which the steam train to Gronau passes. That sounds like a gust of wind - we don't hear it ourselves for a long time, but you might notice it.

Enschede
The city of Enschede has several fun sights and activities. For example, tour the Grolsch or Stanislaus beer brewery, visit Het Rijksmuseum Twente, take a city walk or go shopping in the lively city centre. The outlying area around Enschede, with its nature reserves, is also worth a visit - you often just walk across the German border.
