This design makes them especially suitable for guests with respiratory diseases (e.g. COPD), while offering the calm, privacy, and comfort you want from a restorative break.
In this guide, you’ll learn what makes Adelhof’s grass roof bungalows different, what’s inside, practical policies to know, and how to make the most of your stay in the beautiful surroundings of Drenthe.
What Makes a Grass Roof Bungalow Different?
Adelhof’s grass roof bungalow is a unique, detached stay that features a round, sloping grass roof. This roof shape and material help promote air movement within the bungalow and contribute to a pleasant indoor climate—one reason it’s explicitly noted as especially suitable for people with respiratory diseases (including COPD). You’ll also enjoy lots of privacy and a quiet location, with sleeping space for up to 4 people.
How the design supports easier breathing
- The round, sloping roof encourages natural air movement, helping avoid stuffy, stagnant indoor air.
- The grass (turf) layer can buffer temperature swings, supporting a steady, comfortable feel inside.
- The bungalow includes underfloor heating, which provides even warmth without blowing air, helping maintain comfort.
Note: While a thoughtfully designed space can support comfort, it is not a medical treatment. Always follow your personal health plan.
