A 27m² studio at the back of a barn with its own entrance, for a minimum stay of 3 nights. The entrance is in the attached sunroom (30 m²), which features a fireplace and unobstructed views of the adjoining large garden and the polder beyond—it essentially serves as an extension of the living room. It’s a cozy spot to relax, even in bad weather. Plenty of greenery and privacy. The studio is cozily furnished and equipped with all modern conveniences, including Wi-Fi, a two-burner ceramic cooktop, a combination microwave, a refrigerator, a filter coffee maker, a kettle, a washer/dryer, and a TV with Netflix. Heating and cooling are provided by an air conditioner. The double bed is on the loft, which you reach by climbing the stairs. The price includes bath and bed linens. The neighbor sometimes rehearses with his band in his shed, usually on Thursday evenings from 8:00 PM to 10:30 PM, though not often during summer vacation. You can hardly hear it in the studio. Available for long-term rental in the winter at a separate rate; please send a message for more information.

Nature and surroundings

The Studio is located in the historic Papekop polder. It’s centrally situated between the major cities of Utrecht, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and The Hague, all of which are easily and quickly accessible by train from Woerden. Woerden is a 6-km bike ride from the studio. Oudewater is 3 km away. The Studio is also situated among historic towns that are easily accessible by bike, such as Woerden, Gouda, Schoonhoven, Oudewater, Montfoort, and Linschoten. It doesn’t get any better than this! From the Studio, you can go hiking and biking in nature in any direction. For example, cycle along the Linschoten or Vlist rivers. I rent out two older bicycles with gears for €5 per day or €15 per week per bike.

    The studio was just big enough for two people. It was very clean.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    The garden was surprisingly large. It looked a bit like a park. It was wonderfully relaxing to sit there under the rustling trees.

    Peace and quiet, a clean little house with everything you could want—what more could you ask for!

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    We really enjoyed the well-furnished cottage—it was clean and cozy. It was great that it also had such a large, shady garden. The sunroom/greenhouse was also very pleasant when the weather wasn’t so nice. It was peaceful there, and we had plenty of privacy.

    Wonderfully peaceful. Neat and tidy. A beautiful place for cycling. And Oudewater is worth a visit.
