About us
Nature and Surroundings
Het Grote Veld is a historic heathland landscape of 420 hectares and offers an oasis of tranquility in the Achterhoek: owls, roe deer, foxes, bats, and many species of birds of prey live around Deurnink. From the guesthouse, your walk or bike ride begins right in their habitat, and you can join the many cycling and walking routes (including the Central Netherlands Route and the Pieterpad) that pass through here. In the summer, swim in the swimming and recreation pool “In de Dennen” 3 km away, or in bad weather in the indoor swimming pool “De Beemd” 6 km away. Or go canoeing on the Berkel, or horseback riding in nature. Or visit the Lochem Golf Club with 18 holes, 2 km away. Vorden also has 8 castles (some of which can be visited), a train station, bicycle rental, excellent dining options (including Hotel Bakker), and terraces. Visit the town of Lochem 7 km away, or the Hanseatic city of Zutphen 11 km away, or the MORE museum in Gorssel. The website Vorden.nl provides a good overview of everything there is to see and do in the area, with many great tips for routes and sights.

How we started
In 2020, we instantly fell in love with this unique spot in the heart of nature at Het Grote Veld. The farmhouse, the guesthouse, and the grounds were clearly neglected, but we saw right through the potential beauty and charm.
After purchasing the property, we spent nearly four years restoring everything to its original state, but using modern construction methods. Construction company Ruiterkamp from Vorden took on this challenge with us, and we are very satisfied with the final result.
We want to let other nature lovers share in the enjoyment by making the guesthouse available for holiday rentals for a few months a year.
Our team
Hostess Margot and host Thijs extend a warm welcome to you upon arrival.
Guesthouse Deurnink has been furnished with great care and passion, so that you can unwind completely here and enjoy a relaxing stay.
Margot: What makes it so special and wonderful for me is seeing how guests often arrive a bit tired but leave with renewed energy after their stay.
Thijs: For years, I have been the cheerful host in the hospitality industry in Vorden, mixing Achterhoek coziness with a generous dose of unparalleled enthusiasm. I love sharing this with the guests of Guesthouse Deurnink as well.
We have a great passion for hospitality and creating a unique experience, and we strive to offer others a "home away from home" feeling. For us, this is *the* place where all the puzzle pieces beautifully fit together. So, if you have any questions or special requests during your stay, we are happy to help make your stay as pleasant as possible.
We wish you a wonderful stay!
Kind regards,
Margot & Thijs
