Pets not allowed
In a beautiful location on the seawall in Moddergat, we rent out a centuries-old fisherman’s cottage (a national historic landmark). 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, private 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, which is 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.

We had a wonderful time at this cottage. It’s very cozy and homey, with books, games, little paintings, and charming little touches. The box beds are great and offer a nice alternative if you find the beds upstairs a bit too narrow ;) The host is easy to reach and friendly, and she handled a problem that came up very well. Contrary to the description, there’s no parking spot at the house—it’s actually about 200 meters away.
We hebben fijne dagen gehad in dit huisje. Het is heel knus en huislijk, met boeken, spelletjes, schilderijtjes en gezellige spulletjes. De bedstedes zijn geweldig en een leuke escape voor als je de bedden boven net te smal vindt ;) De verhuurster is goed bereikbaar en vriendelijk en loste een ontstaan probleem adequaat op. Er is, anders dan in de beschrijving, geen parkeerplaats bij het huis, dat is echt wel 200 meter verderop.
A cozy, homey cottage in a beautiful village, with the sea on one side and vast fields on the other.
Een gezellig, huislijk huisje in een mooi dorp, met aan de ene kant de zee, en de ander kant wijdse velden.

A beautiful and clean cottage. Comfortable beds—and the box bed was especially nice. A very friendly and accommodating host.

A nice little house, well-equipped, with a bit of an authentic atmosphere.
Fijn huisje, goed voorzien, beetje authentieke sfeer.
Beautiful surroundings with rugged salt marshes and a vast Wadden Sea region. Lauwersmeer and Schiermonnikoog are easily accessible. An impressive fishing monument and museum.
Prachtige omgeving met stoere kwelders en uitgestrekt waddengebied. Lauwersmeer en Schiermonnikoog makkelijk te bereiken. Indrukwekkend visserijmonument en museum.
