Let me introduce myself

My name is Petra Verhagen. In 1993 my husband (Willem Eckhardt) and I moved into farmhouse ‘De Hemel’ (The Heaven) with outbuildings to fulfill our long-held dream: to start our own Bed & Breakfast in the Dutch countryside.

In our search for the ideal location we arrived at this farmhouse comprising of various characteristic buildings situated on a beautiful plot of land, which is inspiring and different in every season, and located in a hospitable, fascinating region.

We opened the doors of our B&B in the spring of 1994. Willem and I ran the B&B together until he sadly passed away in October 2023. Now I run the business with my daughter, Jelske.
