Nature house in IJzendijke
Zeeland, Netherlands
- 5 persons
- 3 bedrooms
- WiFi
- Pets allowed
Just one kilometer away from the medieval town of IJzendijke, surrounded by serene nature, you will find this romantic cottage on a generous plot of more than 2000 m². It offers breathtaking views over the vast fields and is the perfect place for those looking for peace, space and a piece of history.This charming cottage, built in 1870 (Zeeland heritage), has undergone a careful transformation over the years. The original character has been preserved, while the house is equipped with all modern conveniences. The authentic floors still creak delightfully and the doors are low (because yes, the people of that time were a bit smaller!). Yet you will enjoy comfort and style here, with a new oak parquet floor in the living room and recently renewed window frames with double glazing. The large garden surrounding the house offers plenty of space to relax. Enjoy the sun on the various seating areas, or seek shade for a moment of rest and relaxation.
Nature and surroundings
The garden is currently being transformed into an ecologically friendly biotope, this will take some time to reach maturity. The beautiful, wide beach of Zeeland Flanders is 15 kilometers from the house. This beach has several times been voted the cleanest beach in the Netherlands. Even in the pre-and post-season it is wonderful to get a breath of fresh air. In the immediate vicinity of the house you can enjoy walking and cycling on the dikes and visit the nature reserve 't Zwin in Cadzand, this is definitely worth it. 10 km away, in Biervliet is the beautiful nature reserve the Braakman with several hiking trails. In the historic towns such as Sluis, Ghent, Bruges, Antwerp and Terneuzen you can enjoy shopping and sniffing up some culture, so these are definitely worth a visit. A nice day trip is to visit Vlissingen and Middelburg. You can take the bicycle ferry from Breskens across. So something for everyone.

It was a nice place but the cottage has a lot of overdue maintenance. The gas burners did not work properly, the door had no latch (was broken off) and the hood was damaged. The cottage was also very dirty. I contacted the owner who indicated that previous tenants had not reported this and that he would see if it could be repaired while we were there. That didn't work out. I damaged my clothes on the latch with overdue maintenance. This I reported but since their insurance did not reimburse this because of obvious overdue maintenance it remained at that. Until we left the cottage there was contact via the app. I received no further responses after we left the cottage. If this was my first experience with nature houses I would not have come back.
Het was een mooie plek maar het huisje heeft veel achterstallig onderhoud. De gaspitten werkten niet goed, de deur had geen klink (was afgebroken) en de afzuigkap was beschadigd. Het huisje was ook erg vies. Ik heb contact gehad met de eigenaar die aangaf dat eerdere huurders dit niet hadden gemeld en dat hij zou kijken of het gerepareerd kon worden in de periode dat wij er nog waren. Dat lukte niet. Ik heb mijn kleding beschadigd aan de klink met achterstallig onderhoud. Dit heb ik gemeld maar aangezien hún verzekering dit niet vergoede vanwege duidelijk achterstallig onderhoud bleef het daarbij. Tot wij het huisje verlieten was er contact via de app. Ik heb geen reacties meer ontvangen nadat wij het huisje hebben verlaten.
Als dit mijn eerste ervaring met natuurhuisjes was dan was ik niet meer teruggekomen.This is a beautiful place and has potential to be a very nice cottage. However, it has a lot of overdue maintenance. The garden is great. Is not suitable for 6 (adult) people
Dit is een mooie plek en heeft potentie om een heel leuk huisje te zijn. Het heeft echter erg veel achterstallig onderhoud. De tuin is geweldig. Is niet geschikt voor 6 (volwassen) personen

Very charming, old dyke house with basically all the amenities you need. (no dishwasher). We really enjoyed our stay. There is plenty of room for 4 people and a dog. The cottage and garden do deserve a little more love in terms of maintenance, hopefully that will be addressed soon enough. It would be a shame if such a sweet little dyke house would disappear due to overdue maintenance.
Erg charmant, oud dijkhuisje met eigenlijk alle voorzieningen die je nodig hebt. (geen vaatwasser). We hebben echt genoten van ons verblijf. Voor 4 personen en een hond is er voldoende ruimte. Het huisje en de tuin verdienen wel wat meer liefde qua onderhoud, hopelijk wordt dat snel genoeg aangepakt. Het zou zonde zijn als zo'n lief dijkhuisje door achterstallig onderhoud zou verdwijnen.
Very quiet location with wide views over the countryside. Many birds spotted and great to sit outside in the large, wild garden.
Erg rustig gelegen met wijds uitzicht over de landerijen. Veel vogels gespot en heerlijk buiten gezeten in de grote, wilde tuin.

See above. Contact with the manager was very nice. There is much to do in the area such as beautiful beaches and nice villages and towns in Zeeland and Belgium to visit. Fijnetuin to sit and eat in peace with beautiful views and lots of rest.
Zie boven. Contact met de beheerder was heel fijn. Er is veel te doen in de omgeving zoals prachtige stranden en leuke dorpen en steden in Zeeland en België om te bezoeken. Fijnetuin om rustig in te zitten en eten met mooi uitzicht en veel rust.
Very nice cottage, everything was there what you need. Charming cottage, large garden around it and beautiful view over meadows.
Heel fijn huisje, alles was er wat je nodig hebt. Charmant huisje, grote tuin eromheen en mooi uitzicht over weilanden.
