Over Newcastle - Residence De Eese

The Residence De Eese is an ancient estate, which is partly still recognizable, for example, by the groups of beech trees, some of which are several hundreds of years old and by the noble house of the forest ranger, which was originally called "Huize De Kom" and is now rented as a groups accommodation. Even the old house of the coach man is still standing. After paving the Bultweg in 1871 this was where you had to pay a toll. When the forest pond on the property was created some 140 years ago the earth that was dug out and just left in a heap became typical of the area; hence the local name "De Bult" (hump, bump). The Residence De Eese is a beautiful and hospitable park in a wooded area which is suitable for young and old as well as for disabled persons. The area is ideal for nature lovers and offers endless recreational opportunities. The nearby prince's estate De Eese covers an area of 800 hectares touching three different provinces, namely Overijssel, Drenthe and Friesland and is also the summer residence of the Dutch royal family. Unfortunately it is not possible to visit the property, but with a bit of luck, you can catch a glimpse of the royal family. If you would like to spend your holidays in Soestdijk or in Drakensteyn, then you have come to the right place at the Residence de Eese and you will certainly have a coffee or dinner at Restaurant Maxima in the park. The bungalow Newcastle is a cosy holiday home located at one of the most beautiful places in the park. The house is equipped with all the amenities you could wish for in your vacation. For example, you have a fully equipped kitchen with microwave, dishwasher and a fridge with icebox. There is a covered porch and a furnished sunny terrace, overlooking the large forest pond where in the summer the merry ducks swim around. This bungalow is suitable for up to 4 persons.
