Beautiful Countryside house, close to Amsterdam

Der Ausblick aus dem Wohnzimmer/ Küche war traumhaft. Das Bett war bequem. Jeder Raum hatte einen gewissen Charme. Im Allgemeinen haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

Es ist schon sehr laut mit den Kühen, auch nachts. Und wenn es windig ist und regnet hört man das sehr stark. Es ist halt offenes Feld drum rum. Also sind Ohrstöpsel ggf. eine gute Idee. Wir hatten die ganze Zeit über Regen und Sturm, also waren wir nicht ganz so viel draußen aktiv. Wir hatten es drinnen aber sehr gemütlich, auch dank des Kamins. Was uns dadurch tatsächlich gefehlt hat, war ein Fernseher. Wir hätten uns gerne mal einen Film angeschaut.

Die Lage ist auf jeden Fall für Leute welche Entspannung suchen und möchten alleine und nicht gestört sein ausgezeichnet. Die Oase der Ruhe. Es lohnt sich die Fahrräder mit nehmen, der Umgebung bietet zahlreiche Möglichkeiten viele schöne Orte zu erkunden.

Obwohl wir Fans von Antiquitäten und Trödelmärkte sind, ist der Einrichtung nicht sehr nach unserem Geschmack gewesen. Vor allem haben uns die ausgestopften Tiere gestört.

Located on a farm, you meet a herd of beautiful cows as you enter the long driveway. The accommodation is a gorgeous guest house like place. Very romantic, quiet and fantastic views of the sun set and sunrise. I could not recommend this place enough. We rented city bikes and cycled to this place. It took almost an hour with breaks for the view but one of the nicest cycles I have ever done. Thanks

Nothing to mention. All our questions were answered before we even asked them

On a aimé le calme dans une ferme, le séjour très spacieux, le lit très confortable et l'équipement très complet. Un séjours proche de la ville d'Amsterdam en plein milieu de la campagne. On s'est presque exclusivement déplacé à vélo sur les pistes cyclables très proches.

Stilvoll eingerichtetes großes FeHaus. Ruhige Umgebung in Bauernhofnähe.

The views from the lounge are beautiful, especially with the sunlight streaming in, and the piano was a nice bonus. Well-equipped kitchen and very comfortable, large, bed. Great place to relax in natural surroundings and explore the local picturesque towns and villages. Good communication with the hosts and easy to check ourselves in.

A matter of personal taste but the stuffed birds and animals took a bit of getting used to 😁

The house, the access road, the pasture, the cows, the neighbours Dirk and Arnoud - there was nothing that wasn't happy, beautiful or helpful. The cows would welcome us daily with stares and moos. Lots of beautiful walks, though there are fewer canals in this area versus the other side of the lake. The patio and living room with the sun streaming through, are beautiful restful, happy places. The piano is exceptional and beautifully tuned. The fireplace works well and easy to light. Though only my daughter met Marijke, the owner, she was helpful on everything and responded immediately (not that we needed much). She introduced us to Arnoud who was kind enough to lend us a bike, and Dirk who showed us around the barn where we met the babies and the mothers (cows of course). She in fact offered us the use of another bedroom but we didn't need it as we were just 2 of us. We really liked the bathroom with a view to the cows, unfortunately now covered with a translucent film. I understand people might not like to have a see-through glass, but I would have loved to see the green and the cows from there too. We would leave the door open through the day. Parking was very easy and we shared it with the neighbours. Kitchen and bathroom are both well equipped. Lots of towels. I missed coffee on day one as I hadn't bought any, else nothing that we lacked. It is a beautiful and positive house, much like home and not shiny metal and glass, and nevertheless with all amenities for comfort.

Important: some friends found it difficult to find the place, and at night it is pitch dark, so be sure to have the map on you. I personally had no difficulty in reaching. I am a clean freak, and found several places which were not as clean as could be. e.g. to be greeted by a broom and broken dustbin even before entering the house. It threw me a bit but once I realised it is only a thoughtless act, it was ok. The kitchen has some food left over perhaps by other visitors, which in a way is great, but much of it is in the bottles and jars which seemed old so not sure what was what. We didn't use anything either way as were staying long. The lounge chairs on the patio are very comfortable and offer a magnificent calm view, but I didn't use them much as they were not clean. Pity. A vacuum cleaner would be great esp. for longstays. My daughter was rather spooked by several stuffed animals (9/10 approx) in the house. I loved them, so its only FYI. I had to turn the owl sideways to get her to sleep, though we laughed about it. The bedroom is beautiful but a little dark, and if the entire experience had not been so delightful it might have bothered me a little. Maybe just an option for brighter lighting in case someone wants it, especially those who stay fir several days. I couldn't read by the bedside. None of it is a deal breaker as you can see by the rating - would just make it even more beautiful, if that were possible.
