In addition to running an arable and dairy farm, Kees and Tonnie Bierkens also welcome guests to this charming and authentic bed & breakfast. There is so much to do that a previous guest made the following remark: “What amazes me is that all the time we stayed here, not once did our children ask for the iPad: they found it so wonderful to play outside.” Its central location means you can reach all the top Brabant attractions within a 20 minute drive. This ‘gem in Moergestel’ has been among the best in Brabant for many years, probably because it’s right here that you will really discover how hospitable and friendly Brabant is…

Central location
This listed building comprises a farmhouse, granary, cart shed and sheep pen. Surrounded by countryside, woodland and wetlands Den Heijkant offers comfort, peace and space. Centrally located between Eindhoven, Breda, ’s-Hertogenbosch and Tilburg it is the ideal base for a city trip, but also parks such as Efteling and Safaripark Beekse Bergen are close by. Or visit La Trappe, the only Trappist brewery in the Netherlands, or nature reserves such as Kampina and the Oisterwijk Woods and Wetlands. Den Heijkant is conveniently located on various walking and cycling routes.
“Wonderful to relax”
The renovation of the cattle shed resulted in two additional luxury apartments. Enjoy breakfast with views of the cows in the tasteful communal room, which also offers views of the surrounding farmland where carrots, beetroot, asparagus and grains are cultivated. The apartments offer every amenity and the luxurious kitchen contains the sort of crockery our grandmother would have used. Each apartment has its own patio, free WiFi, washing machine and dryer and is equipped with every modern convenience. Den Heijkant also offers a two person apartment that is fully equipped for disabled guests.
