This nature house is located in the Front House of a North Holland long-house farmhouse, situated at the foot of the Dune Reserve and on the edge of the field. The farmhouse was completely renovated in 2012 in 1930s style. The owners live in the bell house and are therefore close by but all privacy is guaranteed. There is generous entrance, for coats and boots. In the spacious and cozy living room with windows on 3 sides, there is a large dining table and a sitting area with TV (and wifi). The eat-in kitchen invites you to cook. Usually the owners bring some goodies from the harvest. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms and a luxury bathroom with bathtub and walk-in shower (separate toilet). In the garden there is a picnic table and lazy chairs, in or out of the sun, in or out of the wind. For the kids there is a large lawn. Changeover days are Mon-Fri. A weekend Friday-Sunday is also possible, then Sunday is late check-out. Off season and Ascension can be shifted, but min 3 dgn, send a message via "contact".

Nature and surroundings

This nature house is completely energy neutral, ground source heat pump and solar panels provide our energy. The farmhouse is located on a dead-end street, between farms and nature reserves. The beach is 3km away, cycling or walking through the North Holland dune reserve with its forests and the open hilly dunes. Also great for cycling and walking from Haarlem to Den Helder. In the backyard is the beautiful open field with nature reserves Seerijdtsdijkje and Zuiddijk and also the Tankval, a beautiful bird and fish-rich lake. The bus stops at about 200 m. Train station Castricum is about 3 km away, making Amsterdam, Haarlem and Alkmaar easily accessible by public transport. With own transport you are from the A-9 also quickly in Bakkum/Castricum. The Hortus Bolborum in Limmen, the Cheese Market in Alkmaar, the Egmonden, Amsterdam-Centrum .... it's all a stone's throw away. If your desired start date is not available, please check if the other days are possible via "contact"!

    It is a lovely spacious cottage with full kitchen and three bedrooms. Ideal for a company.

    The cottage is located on the outskirts of Bakkum. From the living room you have a view of the landscaped (flower) garden and meadow. Planes do fly depending on the wind but we did not find that disturbing.

    Beautiful place!

    We were there with our family, two adults and two adolescents. A beautiful, spacious house with large kitchen and a nice outdoor area. The beach is 3 km away, nearby are numerous opportunities for walking and cycling in nature. You can buy tickets everywhere to enter the dune area (6 euros p.p.p.w. for adults). We went to Alkmaar for a day by train, a journey of less than fifteen minutes from Castricum station. Bakkum/Castricum are under an approach route from Schiphol Airport, but we did not experience this as a nuisance. Nancy the landlord was very friendly and accessible in communication. The arrival time was flexible in consultation, which was nice. highly recommended this place!
