4.7/5

A cozy guesthouse that overlooks the meadows at the back, while at the front you can look out over the harbor of Durgerdam from the dike. Water sports enthusiasts will be in heaven: the house is located on the Zuiderzee Dike. It’s an ideal base for hiking and biking trips through Waterland, with the city just around the corner. Just 6 km from downtown Amsterdam, you can enjoy everything the city has to offer. You can also go for a run, swim, canoe, fish, windsurf, or sail, and there’s even a golf course nearby. The living room opens onto the terrace, which overlooks the ditch and the meadows where cows graze in the summer, and where meadow birds, hares, and pheasants roam. On the west-facing terrace, you can enjoy a barbecue as the sun sets.

Nature and surroundings

Durgerdam is a picturesque former fishing village on the Zuiderzee dike, just a stone’s throw from Amsterdam. The village consists almost entirely of a long row of picturesque—mostly wooden—houses along a narrow road atop the old Zuiderzee dike and has been designated a protected village since 1976. The village is surrounded by water on one side and meadows on the other, in an area known as Waterland. It is a peat meadow landscape bordering the Markermeer, where many meadow and water birds rest and forage. Small game such as hares, pheasants, and the like can also often be seen there.

    The bed was a bit too soft. Otherwise everything you need was there and clean! On the terrace and around the cottage a bit of a mess (e.g. stored car tires on the terrace are not very inviting).

    Nature, peace & environment: 4 /5

    Great location for a daily bike ride into town. Too bad that the view will probably still be obstructed... Animal watching directly from/at the accommodation possible (e.g. breeding swan).

    It is a nice little house but the cottage deserves some love in the form of a lick of paint on the walls, paint on the window frames and doorposts, a window washer, a carpenter for the hole in the window frame, a handyman for a new front door, a new coffee maker, vinegar for the kettle and perhaps a new wider shower stall. The cabin closes with 2 doors but the space left to get in may be just too tight for slightly creamy, soft people. The temperature of the shower is lovely though! Oh yes, and please more teaspoons. We can get by with 1 spoonful, but still... The refrigerator door makes a weird noise when opening, but again the fridge does a super job. Wifi is good, but there is no TV, so a laptop or tablet would come in handy. Otherwise, the cottage is tastefully decorated. Well, and the garden is a bit messy, as a previous review said, but you don't notice that once you are in the cottage.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    The peace and nature near the cottage was wonderful. Despite being very close to Amsterdam you still experience a tranquility through the nature reserve with lots of birds just behind the cottage. You look out there and there is plenty to see. The host people were very nice and made us feel welcome.
