Wilmsboo

Cottage for up to 3 guests


These are the highlights

  • There used to be dozens of ‘boos’ in this border region – a type of barn built from wood and reed. The Wilmsboo is the only one that has survived.

  • Your holiday home is situated at the end of a country lane, set amongst the meadows on a peaceful plot with trees and shrubs.

  • From your terrace and from inside the cottage, you have views across the fields. Roe deer, pheasants, hares and all sorts of birds regularly pop round.


In a like styled annex is a guestroom. The bright coloured apartment has two storeys. Downstairs are the living room with open kitchen, bathroom and toilet. Upstairs are a double and a single room, with an extra toilet. The guesthouse comes with cooking facilities, a microwave oven, refrigerator, television set, wireless internet, cd-player and underfloor heating. All rooms are non-smoking.

Surroundings

Close by are woods, heath land and peat areas in both The Netherlands and Germany. There are many cross-border routes for walking, cycling and driving. Culture, attractions, restaurants and places of entertainment can be found in towns like Emmen, Coevorden, Lingen (Germany) and Meppen (Germany).

History

Already in 1654 the Wilms’ Boo in Nieuw-Schoonebeek is mentioned. At that time tens of ‘boo’s’ were in the area bordering the Netherlands and Germany. Most of the time part of the herd of oxen stayed at a ‘boo’, a stable made out of wood and reed about ten kilometres from the central farm. The many former ‘boo’s’ disappeared. Wilmsboo is the only one left. In 2008 the building was fully renovated and became a place for working and living. Naturally in the authentic style with the characteristic oak beams, oak walls and thatched finishing. The modern Wilmsboo is a unique monument at a historical location, very close to the German border.
