About this cottage rental
On a unique location, in the Green Heart of the Netherlands, on the edge of Alphen aan den Rijn, a splendid cottage was built and opened in 2014. The cottage is cozy and picturesque, decorated in country style; a place to enjoy and to relax. Situated nearby the windmill, you can see the windmill to one side and the beautiful polder landscape to the other side, where in summertime, cows and sheep graze outside. The cottage is surrounded by 3 terrasses.
The cottage is adjusted for 4 persons, of course less is also possible. The mentioned price is based on a maximum of 4 persons. An extension up to 6 persons is possible by use of one extra bedroom, or up to 8 persons by connecting the next door apartment, by way of an inside door. For more then 4 persons another price is applied. For more information about the extra bedroom or apartment, please ask your question on the 'Contact' page.
The cottage and the connected house are built in nostalgic country style, in perfect harmony with the windmill and the landscape. Lots of old materials have been used, like beams, bricks and the rooftiles of the former old cowshed.
On the groundfloor there is a cozy double bedstead (160 x 210 cm) and above of this bedstead it is possible for one or two children to sleep.This is an extra sleeping possibility, children don't have to sleep there. The space above the bed on top is limited because of the ceiling. All matresses are of good quality.
There is also a complete modern kitchen, a dining table and a cozy lounge area on the ground floor. There is also a bathroom with a shower and a seperate toilet.
On the first floor is a bedroom with two single beds. The boxsprings and mattrasses are of good quality. We have 'four season' wool duvets on all of the beds.
You are a guest of Hans and Susanne Vrolijk and their two children, the inhabitants of the windmill. Besides his Job as a technician, Hans is the miller of this windmill on a voluntary basis. Susanne Is a portaitpainter.
They would be very happy to welcome you!
Ofcourse it is possible to have a look out and inside the windmill, the miller is happy to tell you about its history and function.

Quiet, beautiful property to enjoy, great location to all cities via car or train. But, mostly, the hosts were wonderful! We hope to go back. Highly recommend.

Hans and his wife are incredibly gracious hosts and provided an excellent start to our journey! Unpresidented beauty surrounds you in all directions. The location added ease of travel to multiple destinations both touristy and free will to roam and explore. Very friendly town folk and business owners throughout the area. Be sure to stop by De Rijk Zuivel, the little family dairy right down the lane, for some ice cream, phenomenal cheeses or other goodies they make right there! Tell Steven and Ageline that Chad the farmer sent you. Ask Hans about the windmill. He has so much pride in it and rightfully so! Being a stuart of the mill is a generational family tradition. It is an absolute work of ingenuity and art. Fully functioning, it retains a vital role in water level control in the surrounding canals. By far the most beautiful mill we saw on our entire stay in the Netherlands, and we saw dozens. We cannot thank you enough for helping to make our trip so special. Everything combined was truly a magical experience for us. I hope we are able to return again in the future. Or at the very least, have our paths cross again some day. Be well our new friends. Until next time.Peace, love and light Vanuit de grond van ons hart, hartelijk dank(From the bottom of our hearts, thank you)Chad and Dottie

The cottage had everything you would need to have a great stay. The bakery and supermarket in easy access. The bike routes from the cottage are perfect. Would come again.

Wow!!!! We love this place!! Hans and his wife and son are wonderful hosts. The cabin is sparkling clean and wonderful. For US users: king size bed upstairs, with optional twin next to the king in the same room. The “box bed” downstairs is a queen size below, and on top would be good for a small child. It does have a mattress on top but it’s under the sloping roof. It was wonderful for us. We didn’t need it but I’m sure the AC both upstairs and downstairs would be wonderful in summer. The views out over the polders landscape are incredible. The view of the windmill is fantastic. The bikes he rented to us worked great to get into town and we felt like we belonged:). 30-35 min to TheHague. 25 min to Schiphol. Thank you Hans!! I hope we can come back.
