Environment & activities

B&B de oude melkfabriek is a quietly situated Bed and Breakfast in the small, cozy village of Borkel & Schaft (1,000 inhabitants) near Valkenswaard/Eindhoven. The B&B is housed in an old dairy factory from 1916 and is situated next to a beautiful windmill from 1885.

 

A wide driveway leads to the historic property, which features three rooms and two unique apartments. The B&B has a Scandinavian interior with plenty of light, natural materials, and soft colors.

The B&B is situated in the "De Groote Heide" nature park, nestled between various smaller nature reserves (Malpie, De Plateau, and Het Leenderbos), making it a perfect base for exploring the surrounding area. The region features beautifully laid-out cycling and walking paths. So grab your bike or take a lovely walk.

Prefer a day of shopping? Valkenswaard is 10 minutes away and Eindhoven is a 20-minute drive from the B&B (Antwerp is a 45-minute drive).

Fancy a nice dinner after a hike?
