This accommodation was everything advertised and more! We were greated warmly by our host ( Marga) the first day, who graciously allowed us to store our luggage in the rental as we arrived earlier than expected. She is very knowledgable about places to go, things to do, and we took all her suggestions! Her energy is catching, as she shares her passion about farm life, the rental, and places of interest to visit.
Our first day, we enjoyed beautiful Oudewater, an amazingly beautiful town with wonderful food ,sites, and shops .The butcher and bakery became our favourite! The ready meals were fantastic! We were able to enjoy everything Dutch at the local shops and markets. ( Thanks for the tip, Marga! )
With such a great location, day trips were a breeze. To name a few, Alkmaar, Woerdan,Delft,Zeeland,Overloon,Den Haag, and Belgium( wonderful Ghent) are all a short drive away. Easy access to the highway, but yet so peaceful and serene, this rental was a balm to return to after a busy day sightseeing! We stayed 2 weeks.
The rooms are beautifully decorated, extremely clean,quiet and easily accessible. The spacious main living area allowed for wonderful mealtimes together ( we were a party of 4-6), or a quiet read by the window, with a separate loft escape ( with TV). Enjoyed the great beauty of this amazing farm! The open space, a walking trail, and the cows so close by were a highlight everyday. A special thank you to Dik for sharing his passion of farming with our husbands! Having the opportunity to watch the babies being born, visit the barn, and ask questions ( from farming to war history) was very special!
If you are travelling to Holland, ( sorry, officially now to be called The Netherlands) do yourself a favor and stay at this rental.
Once again, Thank you to Dik,Marga and family for providing a wonderful guest experience!
The Canadian crew are grateful for the memories!
