What does Darp offer?
Darp is a small, rural village where you actually have a real community: everyone knows each other, and it feels reassuring rather than claustrophobic. The homes are typically detached or semi-detached, with space around them, and you won't pay Amsterdam prices for it. You're right in the middle of Drenthe's countryside, so walking and cycling aren't things you schedule, they just happen. The nearest shops are in Westerbork, a few kilometres away, so you won't find a supermarket on your doorstep, but you will find quiet and space.
