Due to the layout of the apartment, the terrace, the stairs, the loft and the deep pond (1.80 m), we consider it less suitable for children and/or people with mobility problems. The apartment is pet-free.

The entire space of the Barn, terrace and garden is privately at your disposal during the entire stay. The jacuzzi is also not used by others.

Our cottages are intended for those who seek peace, quiet and relaxation. Parties, loud music and noise are not allowed.
From the parking lot you walk to the fence door that says: the Barn. There is another holiday home on the site - the Bird's Nest Oldekerk - this is for 2 people; the parking lot and the walkway along the ditch are shared, everything else is private.

Other things to pay attention to
The jacuzzi can optionally be booked privately for 1 or more days. (30 euros per day, to be paid in cash on arrival) Read the hygiene rules upon arrival. The jacuzzi is in a covered canopy with comfortable chairs and a wood stove. This way you can relax and bubble all year round without being bothered by the cold, wind or rain.

Aurora Hoeve is located in an area without street lights, making it a dark sky area. With clear weather you have a beautiful view of the twinkling stars and beautiful skies when it is dark. We therefore ask you to turn off all the outside lights when you go to bed. We even observed the Aurora Borealis this year!

The Barn is located in the Westerkwartier of the province of Groningen. In the middle of the countryside and meadows. 15 minutes by car from the city of Groningen and the provinces of Friesland and Drenthe. With beautiful walking and cycling routes. Lauwersmeer nature reserve or take the boat to Schiermonnikoog and explore the Wadden Islands.

Parking is free at the accommodation. There is no electric charging station. There is a bus stop 1 km away. And a train station in Zuidhorn and Grijpskerk, both 8 minutes by car.
