Bed & Breakfast in Drenthe

Many guests type “B&B Drenthe” or “bed and breakfast Drenthe”. They think in provinces, not brook valleys. Meppel is Drenthe: the town is in the province, so is the yard. You get what you searched for – a Drenthe B&B – plus something a B&B deeper on the heath often lacks: a compact centre, a station and the A28 close by.

The address is Hoogeveensweg 26, 7943 AM Meppel. The feeling is rural: meadows, storks in season, and a Saxon farmhouse dating back to 1585. That is south-west Drenthe, not an anonymous holiday bungalow.

From this B&B in Drenthe you cycle or drive to Havelte (hunebedden and heath), to green villages, and to the Dwingelderveld as a day trip. Across the provincial border lie Giethoorn and Weerribben-Wieden. Staphorst is a short drive. Zwolle is a classic Hanseatic afternoon.

One stay covers a Drenthe weekend without moving every night. A weekend in Meppel is in practice a weekend in Drenthe with town and countryside.

Drenthe has large parks and many B&Bs. We are the other extreme: a few stays on a historic yard, run by Hans and Marlie. The Yellow Room and Cow Room for one or two guests, the Front House for a small group, the camper if you want distinctive and affordable. That suits couples, cyclists and guests who do not want animation.

If you mainly want the farm story, read staying on a farm in Drenthe. If the town comes first, Bed & Breakfast Meppel is the sharper page.
