Let yourself be enchanted by the unique atmosphere of this country house. Your holiday home "Haupthuus" extends over 180sqm on 3 floors and is equipped with Grander water. A kitchen perfectly equipped with Miele and Gaggenau appliances invites you to cook and feast together. From the kitchen with an adjoining terrace you can go straight to the floating winter garden above the pond. You can find more seating, grill and relaxation options in the beech arbor or in the adjoining cottage garden surrounded by old, stately trees. A paradise. Relax in front of the fireplace or enjoy a cinema experience on your 55 inch 3D TV with connected Blue-ray Home Entertainment System. In the VinoThek in the living room there is enough space for chilled drinks. Maybe a game of billiards after dinner? Or would you prefer to relax in the lounge, browse through the gallery while the children let off steam in the playroom under the roof? Sweating in the sauna? Time out on the wellness couch? Everything possible on 3 floors. It is particularly easy to sleep in the three individually furnished bedrooms with box spring beds, XXL duvets and three different pillow sizes from Tencel. A wellness oasis with a free-standing Hoesch whirlpool, rain shower and sauna welcomes you in the morning. Make yourself at home. I look forward to seeing you and welcome you warmly! ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub - Sauna ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub - Bidet - Hair dryer - Rainfall showerhead - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio - Terrace ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Phone - Safe ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Billiards/pool table - Foosball table - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Property located in a resort - Unit size: 1,938 square feet ## Similar properties ![Apartment, 2 Bedrooms (Ella) | Free WiFi](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/39000000/38740000/38735700/38735684/ef1b2593.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### City Pension Bremerhaven Bremerhaven - Kitchen - Free Wi-Fi - Microwave 6.2 12 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-17&endDate=2026-03-18&selected=38735684&PinnedHotelID=38735684&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Sauna](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/72000000/71730000/71721300/71721284/c6c078af.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Vacation home In de Bargen in Langenhorn for up to 6 people Langenhorn - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 39 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-17&endDate=2026-03-18&selected=71721284&PinnedHotelID=71721284&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![5 bedrooms, iron/ironing board, free WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/99000000/98830000/98822900/98822823/e1ad8b08.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Apartment "Am Historischen Markt" with Private Terrace & Wi-Fi Friedrichstadt - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Free Wi-Fi 10 Exceptional 2 reviews £1,330 includes taxes & fees 8 Mar - 9 Mar [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-08&endDate=2026-03-09&selected=98822823&PinnedHotelID=98822823&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Sun-loungers](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/70000000/69340000/69338200/69338172/c670671d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Exclusive vacation home "On the North Sea" Grossheide - Kitchen - Washing machine - Free Wi-Fi - Outdoor space 8.8 Excellent 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-17&endDate=2026-03-18&selected=69338172&PinnedHotelID=69338172&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) [Compare similar properties](/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-17&endDate=2026-03-18&selected=31383412&PinnedHotelID=31383412&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2&comparePropertyIds=31383412,38735684,71721284,98822823,69338172) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Minimum check-in age - 21 ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a private host (a party not acting within their trade, business or profession).

Das Haus hält zum Relaxen ein hübsches Wellness Bad mit Whirlwanne und Sauna bereit. In der Lounge befand sich eine Massageliege . Genau das richtige, zum Ausspannen. Es hat uns alles gut gefallen,3 wirklich schöne Schlafzimmer mit Kissenmenü, die klimatisierende Bettwäsche......Wir haben hier sehr gut geschlafen..Es gibt so viel Schönes in diesem Haus zu entdecken und haben die Feiertage,trotz Unwetter, total genossen. Die Zeit verging wie im Flug. Schon die kleine Auffahrt , mit dem elektrisch zu öffnendem Gartentor , das ist so niedlich und man spürt, dass einem ganz gemütliche Tage ,im Haus bevorstehen. ##### Beatrice L.

Wir waren mit unserer Tochter (12 Monate) und einer befreundeten Familie mit Sohn (15 Monate) dort. Top Ausstattung, sehr schönes Kinderzimmer mit vielen Spielzeug und somit auch für Regentage sehr gut geeignet. ##### Lisa O.

Wir haben im August 2016 10 Tage in der Alten Apotheke in Timmel verbracht und waren in jeder Hinsicht sehr angetan: Das Haus entsprach in allen Punkten den Angaben im Internet, die Ausstattung - insbesondere der Küche! - war hervorragend. Es hat an nichts gefehlt. Im Gegenteil! Ein ganz großes Plus war für uns, da wir mit zwei kleinen Kindern angereist waren, das extra eingerichtete Spielzimmer unterm Dach. Vielen Dank auch an die sehr kooperative, unkomplizierte und nette Eigentümerin. Sollte es uns mal wieder in die Gegend verschlagen, würden wir die Alte Apotheke auf jeden Fall wieder buchen. ##### Susanne E.

Es ist sicher das schönste und beste Ferienhaus, das wir bisher bewohnt haben. Sauber, top ausgestattet und schön gelegen, super gemütlich! Dass der gesamte Ort quasi vom Mobilfunknetz abgeschnitten ist, kann man nicht der Location oder den Vermietern anlasten, denn selbst dafür wurde Abhilfe geschaffen - mit Festnetz-Haustelefon und WLAN. Bad mit Sauna & Whirl, Wohnbereich mit Kamin und Küche WEIT über Durchschnitt und der Billardtisch macht die Sache richtig rund! Vielen Dank! Wir kommen ganz sicher wieder! ##### Lutz N.

In dem komfortablem Haus fühlt man sich an jeder Stelle rundum wohl. Es wurde mit so viel liebe zum Detail eingerichtet das wir uns immer noch nicht einig sind welcher nun unser Lieblingsplatz ist.. Das bezaubernde Wohnzimmer,...die Chill-Out Ecke,... die super gemütlichen Schlafzimmer,... das Atemberaubende Badezimmer,.. oder die überdachte Lounge draußen wo man dem plätschern des Wasser lauschen kann... Es war der perfekte Kurzurlaub für uns und wir danken Ihnen, dass Sie mit Ihrer tollen, liebenswürdigen Art ein Teil davon waren. Wir werden die Alte Apotheke auf jeden Fall wieder besuchen!! Ganz liebe Grüße aus dem Ruhrgebiet :-) ##### Britta C.

Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Gerne hätten wir noch viel mehr der gebotenen Möglichkeiten und der Gemütlichkeit der alten Apotheke genutzt. Besonders die tolle Küche hat es uns angetan. Wir kommen bestimmt wieder. ##### Helga B.

Als wir die Bilder der Wohnung gesehen hatten, war die Vorfreude schon sehr groß. Die Realität hat das ganze dann getoppt. Die 5 Sterne sind mehr als verdient! Das Haus ist wirklich was besonderes, genau wie die Gastgeber! ##### Bernhard M. ---
