This is a cozy, detached nature house, suitable for up to 4 to 5 people. On-site parking and garage for storing bicycles. A great advantage in a village with limited parking. The former shell fisherman's house from 1897 is located in the small village of Moddergat. The backyard lies against the sea dike. From the living room you have a wonderful unobstructed view of the farmlands. The cottage has all modern comforts and a very complete kitchen equipment. There is 1 double bedroom downstairs and also the bathroom with toilet is situated downstairs. There is a second toilet downstairs in the utility room. Via a narrow staircase you reach a double bedroom upstairs and via a second staircase a single bedroom. This nature house is non-smoking.
Nature and surroundings
The nature house is located in the twin village of Paesens-Moddergat. The village is located in the most north-eastern part of Friesland, directly on the Wadden Sea. You walk from the backyard straight onto the dike with behind it the ever-changing image of the beautiful Wadden area. You can see the island of Schiermonnikoog on the other side in almost all weathers. On your left you can see Ameland. Part of the former fishing village is a protected village sight. In this part is the open-air museum 't Fiskershuske, where the history of the lost coastal fishing and fishing culture is kept alive. Further into the village is the shrimp factory. In the village is a tea shop and a café-snack bar. For all your shopping you can go to the nearby village of Anjum. The beautiful fishing port of Lauwersoog can be reached within fifteen minutes. It's great to spend time there in one of the many fish restaurants. The boat to Schiermonnikoog departs from here. In Holwerd, the boat to Ameland departs. You can reach Holwerd in about half an hour. The beautiful nature reserve Lauwersmeer is well worth a visit.

I have any comments or suggestions.
Ik op of aanmerkingen.
What a lovely, cozy little house with all the amenities. An enclosed yard for my dog. Plenty of shaded spots. Beautiful views of the dike and farmland.
Cycling from Moddergat to Holwerd over and along the dike. Cycling from Moddergat to Lauwersoog. Enjoying the sunset. A wonderful spot if you love peace and nature.
Otherwise, you shouldn’t come here.Wat een mooi knus huisje met alle gemakken. Omsloten tuin voor mijn hond. Genoeg schaduwplekken. Mooi uitzicht over de dijk en landerijen.
Fietsen van Moddergat naar Holwerd over en langs de dijk. Fietsen vnan Moddergat naar Lauwersoog. Genieten van zonsondergang. Pracht plek als je van rust en natuur houdt.
Anders moet je niet komen.This text is automatically translated. -

I was missing a sofa
Mir hat ein Sofa gefehlt
The village was very quiet, jet fighters flew very rarely, they were very loud, but that was only for a very short time.
Das Dorf war sehr ruhig, ganz selten flogen Düsenjäger, die waren schon sehr laut, aber das war nur ganz kurz.

Very well cared for and very clean. The cottage has a nice layout both inside and outside. The mattresses downstairs sleep wonderfully. However, the stairs to the upstairs bedrooms are not easy to walk up. Unfortunately, we missed a couch in the living room and the shower is not suitable for tall people. Possibly appropriate to the concept, but we did not like the water-saving shower head. Rather short showers with a nice warm jet. Nice that there is a garage, where the bike could be parked. The owners are very friendly, helpful and very hospitable.
Heel verzorgd en zeer schoon. Het huisje heeft een leuke indeling zowel binnen als buiten. De matrassen beneden slapen heerlijk. De trappen naar de bovengelegen slaapkamers zijn evenwel niet makkelijk te belopen.
Jammer genoeg misten wij een bank in de woonkamer en de douche is niet geschikt voor lange mensen. Mogelijk passend bij het concept, maar de waterbesparingsdouchekop vonden we niet prettig. Liever kort douchen met een lekkere warme straal.
Fijn dat er een garage is, waar de fiets gestald kon worden.
De eigenaars zijn allervriendelijkst, behulpzaam en reuze gastvrij.It is beautiful that the cottage is located directly behind the Wadden dike, on which the sheep are bleating and grazing. The walk to the breakwater you make directly from the house and is beautiful. The cottage is located on a main road with a fair amount of traffic. In addition, on weekdays the deafening sound of jet fighters can be heard daily. So it is not quiet there. It is fun to take the bike path along the dike, but with glasses on and your mouth closed; it's teeming with flies. The Lauwersmeer is 7 km away and is a beautiful nature reserve with many marked walks and other opportunities for recreation and in Lauwersoog the ferry to Schiermonnikoog can be made.
Het is prachtig dat het huisje direct achter de Waddendijk ligt, waarop de schaapjes staan te blaten en grazen. De wandeling naar de strekdam maak je direct vanuit de woning en is mooi.
Het huisje ligt aan een doorgaande weg waar redelijk wat verkeer over rijdt. Bovendien is doordeweeks dagelijks het oorverdovende geluid van de straaljagers te horen. Het is er dus niet stil. Het is leuk om het fietspad langs de dijk te nemen, maar met bril op en je mond dicht; het wemelt er van de vliegen.
Het Lauwersmeer ligt op 7 km afstand en is een prachtig natuurgebied met veel uitgezette wandelingen en andere mogelijkheden tot recreatie en in Lauwersoog kan de overtocht naar Schiermonnikoog gemaakt worden.This text is automatically translated.
