North Holland, Netherlands

In the former cheese dairy at Huize Blokland you will find Het Pekelhuis: a cozy and attractive cottage in the middle of the West Frisian landscape. Enjoy the view of the fruit orchard and farm life with sheep, chickens, a cuddly cow and friendly cats. Here your children can play to their heart's content and parents can relax. The cottage offers space for up to 6 people. With 4 people you have a lot of space, with 6 it is a bit more cozy and a bit cramped. There are two bedrooms each with a double bed (one ground floor, one on the mezzanine) and a comfortable sofa bed in the living room. The kitchen is fully equipped, the bathroom has a rain shower, and there is underfloor heating throughout the cottage. The garden doors open onto an east-facing terrace, perfect for the morning sun. At 5km from the IJsselmeer for water fun and beautiful walks and 10km from Enkhuizen, Hoorn and Medemblik for culture & history, good food & drinks and nice stores. Pets welcome (€10 p.d. per animal).
Nature and surroundings
In our yard you can cuddle with the animals to your heart's content, pick fresh fruit from the century-old fruit trees in season, help in the vegetable garden. Children can play with go-karts, pedal tractors, on the trampoline, in the sandbox or the mud kitchen. Hem is a small cute village on the edge of the IJsselmeer. Our farm is located just outside the village surrounded by meadows and about 5km from the IJsselmeer and the dike. Here you can swim in several places in the summer and make beautiful walking and cycling tours throughout the year. The cozy harbor towns Hoorn, Medemblik and Enkhuizen are both 10km away. Here you can eat, drink and store. Furthermore, there are nice museums and cultural activities.Want to visit the rest of North Holland? Also great to do: Texel, Volendam, Marken, the Beemster, wadlopen in Den Oever, etc., all within a radius of approx. 45min by car.

The rental price is friendly and in proportion to what was provided. Great for visiting the beautiful IJsselmeer towns and 40 minutes drive to the coast.
De huurprijs is vriendelijk en in verhouding met het geleverde. Prima voor het bezoek van de mooie IJsselmeer stadjes en 40 minuten rijden naar de kust.
Fine cottage, spotlessly clean and neat. Bit spartan but I guess the place is very nice for growing children. We (older couple) were there for 3 days visiting friends in the area. If your stay is a vacation period then the terrace and garden area could be a bit better maintained. The busy road can be disturbing but that is personal.
Fijn huisje, brandschoon en netjes. Beetje spartaans maar de plek is vast heel fijn voor opgroeiende kinderen. Wij (ouder stel) waren er 3 dagen voor vriendenbezoek in de omgeving. Als je verblijf een vakantie periode is dan mag het terras en tuinplek wel wat beter onderhouden worden. De drukke weg kan storend zijn maar dat is persoonlijk.

Nice hostess, cottage is fully equipped.
Aardige gastvrouw, huisje is van alle gemakken voorzien.
Nice cottage, clean. Nice yard for kids to play, sweet animals! The busy road did bother us a lot.
Leuk huisje, schoon. Leuk erf voor kinderen om te spelen, lieve dieren!
De drukte van de weg stoorde ons wel heel erg.This text is automatically translated. -

Fine vacation stay.
Prima vakantie verblijf.
Nice cottage near farm with view of sheep, goat, rooster, chickens and birds. On a busy road you do hear.
Leuk huisje bij boerderij met uitzicht op schapen, geit, haan, kippen en vogels. Wel aan een drukke weg die je hoort.
