Bad Bentheim is a spa town on the Dutch border with a castle museum, and its homes suit groups: many sleep eight or more. It works for families and friends who want a base for Nordhorn, Enschede and the borderlands. None of the homes have a pool.
Bad Bentheim lies in the Grafschaft Bentheim district of southwestern Lower Saxony, right on the Dutch border. Burg Bentheim, first mentioned in 1116, is the town's emblem and now a museum, with a keep that gives views over the town. The sandstone known as Bentheimer Gold was quarried here, and curative sulphur springs led to the spa. The homes are clustered in a small area of town. Many sleep eight or more, which is useful for groups, but none has a pool.
