Hi

I'm looking for a weeks holiday in the Netherlands, I'm a birder , my wife isn't so it needs to be in/near a great birding area but not too far for commuting in to do some cultural stuff as well. I'm thinking early May if possible, a one bed cottage or apartment with nice lounge would be great, rural if possible

That's it

If anyone can help please get in touch

Regards

David

Maybe Landal Miggelenberg might be nice;

Next to national park 'the Hoge Veluwe' which is very nice for woodland birds and Red deer, boar, Muflon, Roe. And also has the Kroller Moller museum for the cultural stuff. Also nearby Apeldoorn and Arnhem has some historical and cultural stuff.

I agree that the Hoge Veluwe is a great spot, especially in May. It's not too far from Amsterdam (by UK standards!) but I wouldn't advise taking a car into the city. The rail service in the Netherlands is excellent, efficient and not expensive.

Also within a short drive, river Ijsel floodplains, Ooipolder, and some really good grassland birding about 1/2 hour to the north.
