Nestled in the stunning Zeeland landscape, just moments from the Veerse Meer.
Literally just a stone’s throw away — with only a small dike in between — lies the beautiful Veerse Meer, a true paradise for anyone who loves nature, tranquility, or action. This large saltwater lake was once a sea inlet, but is now completely closed off from the North Sea. What makes it special is its unique mix of quiet bays, natural islands, and crystal-clear water.
What you can do on Lake Veere?
Swimming, paddleboarding, boating, picnicking on one of the little islands, birdwatching, or simply enjoying the sunset by the shore. Children can play safely on the shallow beaches, while watersport enthusiasts can indulge in sailing, canoeing, or windsurfing.
Extra tip:
Be sure to visit the picturesque and historic town of Veere, located right on the lake and just a 10-minute bike ride from Het Brummelhof through the beautiful Zeeland countryside. The historic quay, old warehouses, and charming terraces create a unique atmosphere and make it a popular destination for those who appreciate history and culture.
Zeeland is renowned for its vast coastline and pristine beaches. From Het Brummelhof, it’s just a short walk to Breezand – the well-known beach of Vrouwenpolder. The beautiful beaches of Oostkapelle and Domburg are also very close by and definitely worth a visit. Each beach has its own unique atmosphere, with stunning dunes and charming beach pavilions.
Whether you come early for a sunrise beach walk, want to spend a day sunbathing, or go shell hunting with your children – it’s all possible.
What you won’t find here are crowded boulevards or loud tourism. The beaches are spacious, natural, and radiate tranquility.
The landscape surrounding Het Brummelhof is a paradise for walkers and cyclists. Numerous junction routes guide you past orchards, fields, creeks, and centuries-old dikes. Along the way, you’ll pass windmills, church towers, and characteristic Zeeland farmhouses.
The nature reserve De Manteling van Walcheren, with its deciduous forests and dunes, is also within cycling distance. Here, nature and culture intertwine — from deer roaming among the trees to historic estates and castles.
Even closer lies the impressive nature reserve Oranjezon, a former water extraction area that has been returned to nature. Here, you can walk through open dune landscapes, moist valleys, and quiet forests, with a good chance of spotting deer, wild horses, and countless bird species. Oranjezon feels like a world of its own — rugged and pure, yet surprisingly accessible.
“A place where you can discover a new route every day without ever feeling like you're repeating yourself.”
Within a 20 km radius, you’ll find countless charming villages and small towns.

There’s always a weekly market nearby offering local products, artisanal shops, and historic facades. The villages of Zeeland are known for their cozy cafés and restaurants.
Be surprised by a local market full of regional products, cheeses, and honey, or discover hidden shops where craftsmanship and design come together. Zeeland is full of life, but never in a rush. Each village tells its own story.

Local farms often have their own small farm shops, and in nearby restaurants you can taste what the season has to offer.
A few recommendations:
Zeeland is not only about nature, but also about culture and a rich history. Middelburg is a stunning example, with its abbey complex, historic city center, and museums – once the largest port city in the world. Veere also breathes history; Napoleon once stayed there due to its strategic location, and many buildings and remnants still reflect that time. And don’t miss the Watersnoodmuseum (Flood Museum) in Ouwerkerk – deeply moving and highly educational.
Combine your stay with a visit to an exhibition, a church concert, or an open studio tour. Zeeland inspires, enriches, and amazes.
Whether you’re coming for the peace and quiet, the landscape, the water, or the people, the surroundings of Het Brummelhof offer everything you need for a relaxing, rich, and memorable stay. Let your curiosity guide you and discover how this region touches you.
