Heythuysen suits families and small groups wanting a quiet Limburg village base, with Roermond about 12 minutes away by car. Homes sleep four to six and have gardens, but pools are not part of the offer here; check each listing. There is no station, so arriving without a car means a bus from Roermond or Weert.
Heythuysen is a town of about 6,500 people in the municipality of Leudal, in the south-east of the Netherlands; its name means houses on the heath. First recorded in 1383, it lay on the old road from Venlo to Antwerp and was a border town of the County of Horne. The church of St Nicolaas was built shortly after 1504 and gained its Gothic Revival tower in 1847, and the Sint Antoniusmolen windmill still stands. A former monastery of the White Fathers is now a retirement home. Evenings are low-key, and Grand Café Tom Tom is one place to head for a drink. The homes are just outside town.
About 12 minutes by car; bus 72 runs hourly in around 14 minutes, and Intercity trains leave Roermond for Eindhoven.
Bus 71 links Heythuysen with Weert station, from where trains run on to Eindhoven; the whole trip takes under an hour.
Eindhoven and Düsseldorf both have airports; by car Heythuysen is around 36 minutes from Eindhoven city and about 40 minutes from Düsseldorf city, and the N279 is the main road. By public transport, take the train to Roermond or Weert and a bus on. A car is more practical.
By train to Roermond, then bus 72, which runs hourly and takes about 14 minutes. Weert station is the other option, with bus 71 to Heythuysen.
It works well for a family of four to six, as the homes are sized for that and have gardens. Expect a quiet village rather than attractions; Roermond is the nearest larger town.
The church of St Nicolaas, built shortly after 1504 with a Gothic Revival tower from 1847, is the main landmark, along with the Sint Antoniusmolen windmill and a former White Fathers monastery.
