De Rumelshof is a monumental farmhouse dating back to 1909. You will stay in a private section of the farmhouse with a bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, and living room, entirely to yourself. A dog is not a problem, provided it does not chase our sheep and horses. Bringing a horse is also possible. The surrounding area is perfect for walking and cycling. De Rumelshof is situated at the start of a walking and cycling route along the Randmeer coast to Elburg. The Leuvenumse Woud and Beekhuizerzand are also nearby.
From the Rumelshof, the Zwaluwhoeve, the city of Harderwijk, and the Dolfinarium are within cycling distance. And we have electric bikes for rent.
You have free access to your apartment, the parking space, and the yard in front of the stable. The farmhouse garden is not accessible.
B&B de Rumelshof is situated in a rural area, so some noise may be heard early in the morning and late in the evening as local farmers work their land. Our chickens provide fresh eggs, but also clucking.
Stable & Paddock
De Rumelshof has been a livery stable for a long time, but has only been in the hands of the current owners since the summer of 2003. Previously, the livery stable had 14 'stalls'. We first reduced this to 9 and later to 6 boxes. In 2006, the stable was rigorously renovated, and there is now only a large walk-in stable with a hay rack and 1 individual stall.
The horses are kept in a herd and are kept outside 24/7 in a spacious enclosure. Over the years, a simple paddock has grown into an enclosure where there is plenty to discover! The horses can walk from the walk-in stable to the pastures via various paths. Along the way, they encounter natural elements such as a water trough, a hill, and various sandboxes. There is always sufficient space to seek each other out or to withdraw for a moment. They are allowed to use the walk-in stable, paddock, and paths at any time. During the summer months, this is supplemented with pasture access.
Throughout the entire enclosure, the horses walk on unpaved (flax, white and black sand, and grass) and paved (paving) surfaces. The stable is also divided into a paved and an unpaved section. This ensures hoof wear comparable to natural growth and wear.
There is an outdoor arena with lighting and a separate lunging arena. Both are part of the outdoor enclosure but can be closed off when in use.
