This nature house is located in the back part of the Great Barn of a national monumental farm. It is an independent apartment with its own entrance. On the ground floor there are two 2-bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, and upstairs a spacious sitting room with dining area and open kitchen, and a wide view of the estate. The whole is contemporary furnished by Pilat&Pilat and has very comfortable box-spring beds. In the bookcase you will find lots of information about the area. In the quiet garden are several seating areas in sun and shade, with 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. Quilts (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.

Since we stayed only two nights, we did not make a fuss about the state in which we found the cottage. After all, we were not in the mood for overdue cleaning in our presence. But this is definitely not a recommendation for naturehouse.nl
Omdat we maar twee nachten bleven hebben we geen ophef gemaakt over de staat waarin we het huisje aantroffen. Wij hadden namelijk geen zin in achterstallig poetswerk in onze aanwezigheid. Maar dit is bepaald geen aanbeveling voor natuurhuisje.nl
Nature, peace & environment:For 160 euros per night you should expect a cottage that is in tiptop order. (And that does not include 50 euro cleaning and a service charge). Unfortunately, it was far from tiptop. Not clean: a. refrigerator/freezer was dirty, the freezer had a thick layer of ice. b. oven/microwave was filthy (burnt remains, brown coating on the walls, including the door). c. dishwasher did not smell fresh.
c. dishwasher did not smell fresh. Unkempt: a. crumbs from the previous occupant on the floor. b. shelves with folders in messy piles, most of them dated. c. towels that had seen their best days: thin and washed out with fraying. d. a shower head caked with lime. e. a single comforter on a double bed. Landlord's response: These guests arrived without consultation or pardon almost two hours before the earliest possible check-in time and wanted (and were given) immediate access to the cottage. That the resulting time pressure may have caused something to be overlooked and left some crumbs somewhere is possible, but certainly nothing that would warrant such a vitriolic review. The guests before and after them gave the highest possible score on all points, including hygiene. The single comforters (because there was one person in each bed) were discussed and approved at check-in. During the stay there was contact but it was never made clear to us that there were any issues at all; we are therefore highly surprised and disappointed in this state of affairs.Voor 160 euro per nacht mag je toch wel een huisje verwachten dat tiptop in orde is. (En dat is dan nog exclusief 50 euro schoonmaak en een bedrag aan servicekosten). Helaas was het verre van tiptop.
Niet schoon:
a. koelkast/vriesvak was vuil, in het vriesvak lag bovendien een dikke laag ijs.
b. oven/magnetron was ronduit smerig (verbrande resten, bruine aanbaklaag op de wanden, inclusief de deur).
c. vaatwasser rook niet fris.
Onverzorgd:
a. kruimels van de vorige bewoner op de vloer.
b. planken met folders in rommelige stapels, de meeste gedateerd.
c. handdoeken die hun beste tijd hadden gehad: dun en verwassen met rafels.
d. een met kalk aangekoekte douchekop.
e. eenpersoons dekbed op een tweepersoons bed.
Reactie van verhuurder:
Deze gasten kwamen zonder overleg of pardon bijna twee uur voor de vroegst mogelijke check-in tijd aan en wilden (en kregen) meteen toegang tot het huisje. Dat er door de hierdoor ontstane tijdsdruk wellicht iets over het hoofd gezien is en er nog ergens wat kruimels hebben gelegen is mogelijk, maar zeker niets dat een dergelijk venijnige review zou rechtvaardigden. De gasten direct voor én na hun gaven nota bene nog de hoogst mogelijke score op alle punten, ook op hygiene. De enkele dekbedden (omdat in ieder bed één persoon lag) werden bij het inchecken besproken en goedgekeurd. Tijdens het verblijf was er contact maar het werd ons nooit duidelijk gemaakt dat er überhaupt issues waren; wij zijn dan ook hoogst verbaast en teleurgesteld in deze gang van zaken.This text is automatically translated. -

Comfortable, well furnished, a pleasant stay to be in the middle of winter. It is also well heated. The bedrooms and bathrooms also look neat. The beds are fine: slightly soft, but we soon got used to that after one night. After each outing, we also loved returning to the cottage!
Comfortabel, goed ingericht, een prettig verblijf om midden in de winter te zijn. Het is er ook goed te verwarmen. De slaapkamers en badkamers zien er ook keurig uit. De bedden zijn prima: iets zacht, maar dat went na één nachtje al gauw. Na elke uitstap vonden we het ook weer heerlijk om naar het huisje terug te keren!
Nature, peace & environment:The nature house offers a wonderful stay in the attic (there is the living room with kitchen) and the first floor (there are two bedrooms both with their own bathroom) of the monumental Rikkerda farm. The nature house is fully equipped and practical but also beautifully decorated. The countryside is beautifully wide. You can make beautiful walks. We enjoyed it with our two young daughters!
Het natuurhuisje biedt een heerlijk verblijf op de zolder (daar is de woonkamer met keuken) en de benedenverdieping (daar zijn twee slaapkamers met allebei een eigen badkamer) van de monumentale boerderij Rikkerda. Het natuurhuisje is van alle gemakken voorzien en praktisch maar ook mooi ingericht. Het buitengebied is prachtig wijds. Je kunt er mooie wandelingen maken. We hebben er genoten met onze twee jonge dochters!
