B&B rooms in Yoga and Retreat centre

Looking for a bit of peace and quiet? Or interested in discovering the many natural and cultural delights of The Netherlands beyond Amsterdam? Welcome to The Yogahouse – home to your hosts Clare and Wouter and a Centre for Mindfulness Yoga and Retreats in the Ijssel valley near the historic town of Deventer. A rural spot where you’ll find space for walking, biking or to maybe taking part in one of our yoga lessons. The Yoga House is a small-scale centre for Yoga and Retreats. A place where people can come for relaxation, rest and reflection. Outside our programme of meditation days and weekend retreats, we like to share our spacious home with bed & breakfast guests to whom this appeals. The spacious day room and veranda look out over fields in front of the house and the park-like garden at the back. "It's a park, not a garden" said our first visitors. It is certainly a lovely place to relax, with plenty of shade, a sunny lawn, and a lot of varied bird life as well as hares, squirrels and - if you are lucky - roe deer. Upstairs there are five double bedrooms. Two of the rooms have en suite bathrooms, the other three share two bathrooms and have sinks in the room. All the beds are new box springs and every room has a chair and desk. We like to offer guests a homely stay in our family house. The guest rooms are on the first floor, while guests may make use of our living space, including the veranda and garden. We can also help you choose some nice walking or cycling routes in the area. We have a number of maps and guides you can consult. Twello lies close to the IJssel river (20 minutes' walk) a short bike ride from the historic city of Deventer. It is in the middle of farmland with many traditional farmhouses, between the riverine landscape and the woods and heaths of the Veluwe region. It is a great area for walks and for cycling, with plenty of routes to follow. In the summer keen swimmers will enjoy the 2-kilometre-long lake at Bussloo, just 15 minutes by bike and a lovely place to take a dip at the end of a hot summer's day. The IJsselvallei runs from Arnhem to the south, on the Lower Rhine, and Kampen in the north. At high water the river floods and at low water the flood plains dry out. Nature is ever changing here and varies from woods to grasslands, heath, waterland, meadows and swamps. Twello is known for its many stately homes, some going back to the colonial era, some further back than that. We are a short walk from Twello train station (about 1 km) but if you have luggage and inform us about your arrival time we can usually give you a lift from the station. If you come by car you can park on the premises. This is a vegetarian household, and we are also happy to serve a vegan breakfast. Gluten-free is not a problem either.
