Holiday Accommodation Arcen

Located in and around a small town in the Dutch province of Limburg, Arcen holiday homes are nestled in idyllic countryside, with a host of charming towns and villages nearby. You’ll also be close to the borders with Germany and Belgium at a farmhouse in Limburg, with the cities of Aachen and Dusseldorf no more than 45 minutes by car. Arcen itself offers plenty to see and do – the Castle Gardens, which are open in the summer months, are an enchanting place to spend a sunny afternoon. The town and wider area are also known for their excellent beer, and a short way from self-catering accommodation in Arcen you’ll find the Hertog Jan brewery, one of a number of distinguished beer-makers in Limburg.

This historic village of Baarlo is close to holiday homes in Arcen, and here you’ll find a number of beautiful old buildings, including four castles. Three of these – Borcht, Raay and Bercht - date to the 1200s. Elsewhere are large areas of protected natural beauty – to the north of Arcen self-catering farmhouses at Maasduinen, and also De Groote Peel, which is composed of an unexploited peat bog – one of the few remaining in Europe. The park is a hugely important breeding ground for a variety of bird species. For retail therapy there are few better fashion destinations than Dusseldorf, just across the border from Arcen holiday rentals, in Germany. The historic Altstadt, is also one of Europe’s most lively town centres, with more than 300 bars and clubs packed into a relatively small area.
