Restored farmhouse converted into high quality residential farmhouse with 2-4 person guest apartment consisting of private kitchen, bedroom + bathroom and living/bedroom + bathroom. Large French doors in all rooms give unobstructed views over the meadows. This farm is one of the oldest preserved kop-hals-romp farms of Friesland (built in 1631) and has a unique location within cycling distance of Grou and near Leeuwarden. Here and there in the tastefully landscaped yard are seats and loungers to enjoy the view and silence. An orchard, an avenue of fruit trees and and a newly planted nut grove complete the picture. Guests enjoy the birdsong and silence, regional plants and the expansive views all around. The yard is surrounded by beautiful trees. On the horizon you can see avenues of trees and the outline of the neighbor's farm. In summary: peace and quiet and space.

A very friendly hostess who gave us lots of tips. The beds were of excellent quality, and having two bathrooms was very convenient. The kitchen was very compact, and you do need to keep in mind that there is no oven or microwave. The cottage is tastefully decorated, with plenty of bath and kitchen linens. It completely met our expectations.
Zeer vriendelijke gastvrouw die ons heel wat tips gaf. De bedden waren van prima kwaliteit, 2 badkamers heel handig. De keuken was zeer compact en je moet wel rekening houden met het ontbreken van een oven/magnetron. Het huisje is smaakvol ingericht, met voldoende bad-en keukenlinnen. Het voldeed helemaal aan onze verwachtingen.
A really nice little cottage, surrounded by nature. We spotted lots of birds there, even without binoculars (and one evening, an owl even came to peek through the window—how funny!). The only sounds were those of birds and the wind—it was bliss!
Heel leuk huisje, te midden van de natuur. We hebben er veel vogels gespot, zelfs zonder verrekijker (ook kwam er op een avond een uil aan het raam kijken, grappig!). De enige geluiden waren die van vogels en de wind, zalig!

The only downside is when a farmer in the area spreads manure and the wind is blowing from that direction. But you get used to it pretty quickly.
Enig nadeel, wanneer een landbouwer in de omgeving gier uitrijdt en de wind komt uit die richting. Maar daar wen je vrij snel aan.
Beautiful surroundings, stunning horizons and cloudy skies, an ecologically maintained garden, and a rich variety of birdlife, including bean geese, buzzards, kestrels, storks, and more.
Prachtige omgeving, schitterende horizonten en wolkenluchten, ecologisch onderhouden tuin, rijk vogelbestand met rietganzen, buizerden, torenvalk, ooievaars, ... etc.
