De Pollepleats: sustainable meetings by the water in South-West Friesland<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the west of Friesland, just past Sneek, lies De Pollepleats. This is a former farmhouse that has been transformed into a beautiful, sustainable meeting location in Friesland. This place is ideal for teams who need privacy or want to organise multi-day training courses, as the location is always used exclusively by one company. De Pollepleats offers several inspiring meeting rooms, such as the bright conservatory for creative workshops and a boardroom in the ridge for formal meetings. (Frisian) relaxation has also been thought of: enjoy activities such as supping, fierljeppen, cooking workshops and walks. After a productive day, chat with your team in the cosy bar by the fireplace or spend the night in one of the fine rooms. See more about The Pollepleats.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nieuw Allardsoog: the ideal meeting place for large groups<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Just half an hour's drive from Drachten, Landgoed Nieuw Allardsoog is the conference location of the Northern Netherlands. This location, in the middle of Bakkeveen's countryside and on the border of Friesland, Groningen and Drenthe, is ideal for meetings, team sessions and team training sessions with large groups. With twelve spacious meeting rooms, plenty of daylight and beautiful views of the surrounding greenery, Nieuw Allardsoog offers the peace and quiet to get down to business with a large group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And what do you do after the serious part? Will it be a sheep herding workshop or perhaps a nature walk through the neighbouring countryside of It Fryske Gea<\/a>? The sprawling 14-hectare estate features forests, parklands and meadows with Galloway cattle - you know, those robust, hairy grazers - allowing you to go straight into nature during the break. After an intense working day, teams can check into their comfortable lodges and join in for a local and sustainable dinner. What a great job you have! See more about Nieuw Allardsoog.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

De Slotplaats: getting started on a historic estate in Bakkeveen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Also in this beautiful region is De Slotplaats, an ancient estate on the edge of the green Bakkeveen forest. Here you step out of the standard meeting setting and work, for example, in a circle or in the middle of nature. At De Slotplaats, you enjoy local and seasonal food starring t\u00e1-d\u00e1... vegetable ingredients. Good for the whole team and the planet. Besides team meetings, De Slotplaats offers activities such as wild-picking days, yoga in the garden and forest walks. From every euro, ten eurocents goes to Natuurmonumenten<\/a>, preserving this unique place in Friesland. See more about The Final Place.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It Dreaml\u00e2n: multi-day team days near the Wadden Sea<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
