Nature and surroundings

You are in the middle of the meadow with magnificent views all around. You can enjoy numerous meadow and water birds. With the accompanying rowing boat you can make boating trips and possibly do some shopping in the village. The water is one of the cleanest in the Netherlands and is excellent for swimming. Also the fishing is very good. Directly opposite the house runs the so-called Floris the Fifth path which, if you wanted, you could walk to Amsterdam, right through the farmland. The house is in the middle of a water polder with everything you can expect there: water birds, songbirds, birds of prey, butterflies and dragonflies, but also more spiders that in the city.

    A lovely little cottage with everything you need. We had a quiet and relaxing time. Hank and his wife are very nice and always available for questions. It was really nice to get to know these warm people. The cottage itself is very cozy and, thanks to the wood stove and electric oil heating, cozy and warm. All the necessary utensils for cooking and cleaning are available. You can also relax on the veranda and watch the ducks and other birds swimming along on the river. On average, you can be in Utrecht, Amsterdam or Gouda in 30 minutes by car, so day trips are easy to arrange. You can also go for walks in the countryside in the immediate vicinity of the cottage. Bicycles are also available. We had a really great time and can highly recommend Hank's little island!

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    Here you will find a quiet little island that is only accessible on foot. The loudest thing you can hear when relaxing on the veranda are ducks and other birds. There is a footpath right in front of the island that takes you to a mill. We only occasionally met other people here and were able to enjoy the peace and quiet.

    Host and wife are very helpful and quick to reach by phone. Wood goes through quickly but fortunately there are plenty of things! Sometimes the wood is a little damp and does not burn as well.

    Beautiful location in the polder landscape where you really experience the restful and time-saving feeling. The possibility to go on it is there because of the bikes that are present. Cold frosty days can be fought with the wood stove that also leaves a wonderful woody smell where the cozy feeling attracts even more. Very nice experience and a break from city life is very pleasant

    Very nice place, by the water and the reeds. We walked, rowed, swam very briefly and slept wonderfully. Highlight was the rowing trip in the dark with starry sky and fog.
