Cottage detached for ref; https://www.vrbo.com/nl-nl/vakantiewoning/p1114020

My wife and I had a great experience staying at a renovated hay barn. The views were amazing. Was great to wake up to farm animals, birds, etc. every morning. Han’s, who lives in a functional windmill on the property, was a great host. He even gave us a tour of the windmill! Loved that he had bikes to rent which we really enjoyed. All in all, it was a great experience in a great country.

Hans' property was the perfect hub for our family of 4 while we were in the Netherlands. It had all of the amenities that we needed and we loved the area! Hans was an excellent host. He was kind, friendly, and informative. If we ever come back, this is where we would stay again!

The host is very accommodating, the property very clean and definitely family friendly .

We had a really relaxing time here. The cottage is small but that suited us, and the view across the fields filled with all kind of wildlife was superb (not forgetting the chickens next to us and the three walking ducks!). And the huge windmill next to the canal is something to behold. Hans, the host, was really welcoming and helpful and if you want to lean more about the windmill then Google 'Vrouwgeest windmill' and learn how it has been in his family since 1797. The cottage we stayed in was built by Hans from a Dutch hay storage building with a roof that would have been raised and lowered (thus the poles and the pulleys). And as for Holland – glorious. The Dutch are so friendly and speak better English than many Brits I know, and Gouda and the cheese experience is recommended. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and really didn’t want to leave. Thank you Hans..
