In a beautiful location on the seawall in Moddergat, we are renting out a centuries-old fisherman’s cottage (a national historic monument). The nature house sleeps four people. Ground floor layout: living room with a wood stove, 2 authentic box beds (allowing 1 or 2 people to sleep downstairs), a modern kitchen fully equipped with all amenities, and a bathroom with a bathtub, shower, and toilet. Upstairs: a fixed (somewhat steep, with supports on both sides) staircase leads to two bedrooms, each with a double bed. The nature house is equipped with central heating, Wi-Fi, and a TV. There is a sunny, secluded south-facing garden and a separate bike shed.
Nature and surroundings
The nature house is situated in an idyllic spot, right at the foot of the seawall, bordering the Wadden Sea. The area is characterized by peace and space; the landscape is expansive, open, and green. Paesens-Moddergat is an authentic twin village with a rich fishing history, situated right next to the Wadden Sea World Heritage Site. The area is becoming increasingly popular with tourists. Every year, more and more people come to the beautiful northern part of the Netherlands to enjoy the Wadden Sea, described as an exceptionally beautiful nature reserve, adjacent to Lauwersmeer National Park—a paradise for many birdwatchers. Dokkum (one of the Eleven Cities), with all its amenities, is about a 10-minute drive away. Just 4 km away is the village of Anjum for all your daily shopping needs. The ferry to the islands of Schiermonnikoog and Ameland is nearby, as is Leeuwarden, the capital of Friesland. Groningen is also worth a visit.

I would have liked to have had insect screens on the windows inside the house. The mosquitoes made it hard to sleep. Also, a little less dust in the house. That’s important to me, since I’m allergic to house dust.
Ich hätte mir im Haus Insektennetze vor den Fenster gewünscht. Die Mücken machten das Schlafen nicht leicht. Außerdem ein wenig weniger Staub im Haus. Das ist für mich als Hausstauballergikerin relevant.
Very pleasant. The atmosphere right by the dike helps you unwind.
sehr angenehm. Die Atmosphäre direkt am Deich lässt einen zur Ruhe kommen.

Well-equipped kitchen, nice bathroom. Cozy living room with two box beds. You can sit and eat in the garden. You have to climb a steep staircase to get to the bedrooms. And there were a lot of mosquitoes. Bring a mosquito net. (Or install screen doors.)
Goed uitgeruste keuken, prima badkamer. Gezellige woonkamer met 2 bedstedes. Je kunt in de tuin zitten en eten. Je moet een steile trap op naar de slaapkamers. En er waren veel muggen. Klamboe meenemen. ( of horren plaatsen).
A really lovely little cottage with 2 bedrooms and 2 sleeping spots in the living room. It has everything you need, is in a beautiful location on the dike, and you’re just a short walk from the Wadden Sea. It’s close to the museum and just a short walk to the village.
Een ontzettend prettig huisje,2 slaapkamers en 2 slaapplaatsen in de woonkamer. Alles is er, het ligt prachtig, aan de dijk en je staat zo aan de Waddenzee. Vlak bij het museum en een kleine wandeling naar het dorp.

A really nice and nostalgic little house
Some things do need to be replaced, and the kitchen could use a good cleaning, including the cabinets.
There are a lot of spiders in the houseErg leuk en nostalgisch huisje
Sommige dingen zijn wel aan vervanging toe en een schoonmaakbeurt van de keuken is wel tijd incl kasten.
Veel spinnen in huisCozy
Unique because of the age of the house; cultural heritage.
However, there is a musty smell in the house, and it is in need of maintenance.Gezellig
Bijzonder vanwege de leeftijd van het huis, cultureel erfgoed.
Wel een muffe geur in huis en achterstallig onderhoudThis text is automatically translated.
