Where once stood a mill and later a steam pumping station, an electric pumping station appeared around 1920. This pumping station has been turned into a guesthouse. The building is suitable for people who love peace, space, nature and 'other than ordinary'. You sleep under the water level, in a cool basement. This is where the water used to flow in from the polder and was pumped up. From your bed you look out over the water and see the activity of nesting coots and swaying reeds. In the small sitting area you look out over willows, the vliet and the polderland. A kitchenette, toilet and shower complete your Tiny House and make your stay a unique experience. There is no TV but there is wifi. You have your own terrace and can enjoy the surrounding picturesque garden. Present: bed linen, kitchen linen, coffee and tea. This nature house is suitable for 1 or 2 persons. Due to the stairs, unfortunately unsuitable for people with mobility problems. Also unsuitable for pets.

Christien May 16, 2025 General rating:Beautiful cottage, nice and cozy
Prachtig huisje, lekker knus
Nature, peace & environment:Nice little house. Great place to dven de-stress and come to yourself. You have to be good to walk. Narrow steps. The garden is beautiful with beautiful vistas.
Leuk klein huisje. Prima plek om dven te ontstressen en tot je zelf te komen. Je moet wel goed te been zijn. Smalle traptreden. Waar goed aan is gedacht, dat je zowel boven als beneden een toilet hebt!
De tuin is prachtig met mooie doorkijkjes.This text is automatically translated. -
