    The photos suggest a more spacious cottage, so the first impression upon arrival was slightly disappointing.

    Nature, peace & environment: 3 /5

    Nice hostess, view of large lawn. Complete kitchen. Neat. Small bedroom. A neat but simple accommodation. A lot of noise from planes coming straight over (depending on wind direction).

    We enjoyed ourselves and will surely return for another week.

    Nature, peace & environment: 4 /5

    It was a fully equipped vacation home. In the tranquility of nature. We had plenty of privacy.The reception was very warm and in the cottage were already stuff for breakfast, so we did not have to go shopping right away. The cottage was clean and cozy. The environment was beautiful, the dune landscape of North Holland. Also some nice places nearby: Alkmaar, Egmond, Heemskerk. We mainly cycled a lot. There was noise from tractors and from airplanes, but that did not bother us.

    See previous comment: accessible, quiet, clean, well-equipped.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    Both the cottage and the surroundings were so nice: we came by bike from Castricum station and could walk to the reserve. You hear and see many birds, which was very nice. Yvonne is a very nice hostess, who welcomed us nicely, including fresh tea and for the apartment also jam, orange juice and bake-off rolls. You can park your bikes safely under a shed and for those who like it: a neighbor cat likes to come and say hello and cuddle. We did occasionally hear the neighbors from a house down the road (a child, barking dog and a horse who was not very happy about something), but generally it is so quiet that you only hear birds. The cottage was very clean and had everything for a nice stay. The kitchen also has what you need for a good cooking session (oven, hand blender, etc.), we were also happy with that. Long story: we would love to come back to this place from Yvonne.
