About us
A brief introduction!
My name is Neeltje van Oorschot.
Together with my husband Peter, we have been living in Oudenbosch since August 2021. Now that the children are older and almost all standing on their own feet, we were able to look for a beautiful place to make our dream come true! In 2021, we found this beautiful place and moved from Prinsenbeek to Oudenbosch.We were mainly looking for more peace and space, especially a little more room for our pets such as our 15 chickens, 2 cats, and our dog Dokus.
This also allowed us to realize a long-cherished wish: our Bed and Breakfast 'Het Blij Hoen' and now also 'Het Blij Hen'.
We want to give our guests the opportunity to relax here and enjoy the outdoor life, which we also love so much. We also want to share our love of nature with our guests.

The terrace overlooks the driveway, and we have created a separate garden area with dividers, planter boxes, and an outdoor kitchen, so that our guests can enjoy a cozy seating area on the terrace. Guests can also use the outdoor kitchen for a barbecue for a small fee.There is also a Jacuzzi available, so our guests can also enjoy the wellness experience at Het Blij Hoen.
