Unwind, slow down, get away from the (urban) hustle and bustle for a while. Really take some time for yourself—here in the countryside, you can. A modern term for this is “Slow Living”; in West Friesland, we call it “Koeterdekoet.” Escape the rat race to a cozy rural location with a view of the fields. Where time stands still for a moment, there’s no Wi-Fi connection, but a connection with yourself and/or each other. The cottage is so cozy that you immediately feel at home. There’s a comfortable sofa and a simple kitchenette with a stovetop. You’ll find yoga mats and meditation cushions, books, and card decks to help you live more mindfully. There’s also a diffuser with essential oils. Additionally, the shower is stocked with eco-friendly products due to our own eco-friendly water purification system. The sleeping area is on the spacious upper floor. For those who want to retreat from the outside world and cocoon, this is a very nice spot to stay. Whether you’re coming alone or with someone. There’s also a small shop for your breakfast.
Nature and surroundings
Our historic farmhouse, with two nature houses behind it, is located on the West Frisian dike. This dike winds its way through the West Frisian landscape, separating the old land from the new. From our nature house, you can enjoy wonderful walks, bike rides, and the beauty of nature—especially the sweeping views and stunning sunsets. Additionally, Callantsoog Beach is just 13 km away, where you’ll also find the Zwanewater; here, you can go for walks and birdwatching. The picturesque villages of Kolhorn, Barsingerhorn, and Nieuwe Sluis are definitely worth a visit. The cottage is located next to our ecological garden, which features a ley line connected to the chapel of silence in Keins. This hamlet is situated about 5 km further along the West Frisian ring dike, and this energy line is palpable in the ecological flower garden. When you stand on the ley line, you can unwind, ground yourself, and recharge. Start your day off right with our delicious organic breakfast box for 25 euros per day.

Cottage well equipped with things to do there. Was only missing some cooking utensils (large knives, spatulas, etc) to make it just a little easier to cook. Landlords are super nice and very willing to help with anything!
Huisje goed uitgerust met dingen om er te kunnen doen. Miste alleen wat kookgerei (grote messen, spatels, etc) om het net even wat makkelijker te maken te koken.
Verhuurders zijn super aardig en heel bereid te helpen met van alles!The cottage is great with beautiful nature around it. For us it was a good place to read all day and walk occasionally. There are many more things to do, but we didn't do that so I can't judge. Cottage is cozy and at the same time very spacious for two people.
Het huisje is geweldig met mooie natuur eromheen. Voor ons was het een goede plek om de hele dag te lezen en af en toe te wandelen. Er zijn nog veel meer dingen te doen, maar dat hebben wij niet gedaan dus kan ik niet over oordelen. Huisje is knus en tegelijkertijd ook erg ruim voor twee mensen.

If you want to unwind: this cottage in Barsingerhorn is the place to be.
Als je even lekker tot rust wil komen: dit huisje in Barsingerhorn is the place to be.
Had two very nice days in this cozy cottage where Martine offered a warm welcome. The cottage is cozy and well equipped with all necessities. It is located in a nice yard where you can park your car. There is a small garden where you can sit sheltered and overlook the water and meadow behind. The location is good, it is a fifteen minute drive to the sea (Callantsoog).
Twee hele fijne dagen gehad in dit gezellige huisje waar Martine een warm ontvangst bood. Het huisje is knus en prima voorzien van alle benodigdheden. Het ligt op een gezellig erf waar je je auto prima kwijt kan. Er is een klein tuintje waar je beschut kan zitten en uitkijkt over het water en achterliggend weiland. De ligging is goed, het is ruim een kwartier rijden naar de zee (Callantsoog).

Martine's warm welcome, the tour of the garden and the lovely cottage immediately give you a warm, cozy and safe feeling. It really is a place to retreat and relax. It is very tastefully decorated and fully equipped. I enjoyed a few days of rest and come to myself. Definitely recommended and I might come back here again.......
De warme ontvangst van Martine, de rondleiding door de tuin en het heerlijke huisje geven je meteen een warm, knus en veilig gevoel. Het is echt een plek om je even helemaal terug te trekken en tot rust te komen. Het is enorm sfeervol ingericht en van alle gemakken voorzien. Ik heb enorm genoten van een paar dagen rust en tot mezelf komen. Zeker een aanrader en wellicht kom ik hier nog wel eens terug.......
I enjoyed the tranquility, the lovely green surroundings, the birds, the meadows all around and the beautiful sunset. You can walk among the meadows and across the street there is a small nature reserve with a small forest. You can hear something from the provincial road that runs fairly close to the cottage. You can sit at the cottage by the water and enjoy the surroundings.
Ik heb genoten van de rust, de heerlijke groene omgeving, de vogels, de weilanden rondom en de mooie zonsondergang. Je kunt heerlijk wandelen tussen de weilanden en er is aan de overkant een klein natuurgebied met een stukje bos.
Je hoort wel iets van de provinciale weg die redelijk dicht lang het huisje loopt.
Je kunt bij het huisje heerlijk aan het water zitten en genieten van de omgeving.This text is automatically translated.
