Hotels in Afferden

Afferden is a small village in northern Limburg, on the Maas between Venlo and Nijmegen, with a population of roughly 1,400 and the quiet, practical feel of a farming community rather than a destination in its own right. Its draw is the landscape around it. The Maasduinen, a long band of inland dunes, heath, pine woods and fens along the river's east bank, offers some of the best walking and cycling in this part of the Netherlands, and the ruins of Bleijenbeek castle lie just outside the village.

Be honest: there is little to do in Afferden itself after dark, public transport is thin, and you will want a car or a bike to get much out of a stay. For a place this size, fifteen listings is a decent spread, though many are guesthouses, B&Bs and holiday parks in the surrounding countryside rather than conventional hotels. Stay on the edge of the woods toward the Maasduinen if you're here to walk or cycle, or closer to the village centre and the river road if easy driving access matters more.
