This thatched nature house is a beautifully situated 130 m2 detached cottage with all living areas on the ground floor. This side barn is located in the backyard of the national monumental farm and has its own entrance and private terrace. There are 2 spacious double bedrooms (with comfortable box spring beds), each with private bathroom with shower/bathtub. From the spacious living room with open kitchen one has access to the terrace through the garden doors. The interior is provided by Pilat&Pilat. In the bookcase there is a lot of information about the region. Around the Farmhouse is a beautiful garden with several seating areas. From the garden is a beautiful view of the surroundings. Enjoy the many birds around the yard - especially the young barn owls doing their flight exercises in the summer evenings is a fun experience. Comforters (comforters), linen, bedding, towels for the bathroom and for the kitchen are provided.

Nature and surroundings

The estate is located in the Grootegastermolenpolder nature reserve, part of the Netherlands Nature Network. In the nature reserve are some nice hiking trails, such as the Rikkerdapad and the Abel Tasman discovery trail, part of the network Westerkwartierplus trails. The Opende barefoot trail is also nearby, as are several bicycle junctions. The estate is on the border of the open clay area of the Hogeland and Northeast Friesland and the Lauwersmeer area, and the sheltered coulisse landscape of the Northern Frisian Woods. It is only a half-hour drive to the port of Lauwersoog, making Schiermonnikoog a popular day trip. But a visit to Zoutkamp, the Tea Museum in Houwerzijl, the protected villagescapes of Ee and Niehove, Noordpolderzijl, and the seal sanctuary Pieterburen are also popular destinations. Several fine restaurants, including Michelin star chefs are less than a half-hour drive away.

    This house—a converted barn—is highly recommended for anyone who loves nature.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    The layout—with two bedrooms and a private bathroom—was good. The apartment was clean and practically furnished. The outdoor terrace was unkempt and neglected. The outdoor areas could have been maintained a little better.

    See above. A few tips: update the photos on the site, especially the exterior shots; install window screens in various rooms; and get cushions for the patio furniture.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    A beautiful and peacefully located vacation home, part of the Rikkerda estate. The owners were very friendly, warm, and helpful in providing tips. The vacation home is very spacious and features a terrace with both shaded and sunny areas. The sunny terrace, complete with a picnic bench, offers a sweeping view of the fields. The immediate surroundings are a true birdwatcher’s paradise, and we also spotted deer and hares.

    Tip for the owner: pay some extra attention to the maintenance of the terrace and garden furniture (such as a sturdier table and fixing the tiles), so that the outdoor space becomes as comfortable as the house itself.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    Fine stay had in this nature house. The nature is really top and the bedrooms and bathrooms were very well cared for, with good beds and fine care products. We did have the impression that some things could be maintained a bit better, such as the garden furniture. There was a private terrace, but the table was not comfortable and some of the tiles were loose. Despite that, we enjoyed it very much. Moreover, the host family was very friendly and helpful.
