This national monument from 1860 is beautiful and oh so beautifully sober. It stands in the middle of the Noardlike Fryske Wâlden, the beautiful coulisse landscape. Since 2021 we live in this farmhouse with our three young children. In the back of the 'pleats' we have built two cottages with our own hands: 'de ko' and 'it skiep'. Upon entering you will see on one side the cowshed and on the other side the cottages are built. 'De ko' is a cozy space of 40m2, is fully equipped and offers privacy. Private entrance. Welcome with coffee/tea and something typical Frysk. Kitchen: with inventory, oven, hob, dishwasher, refrigerator and kitchen textiles. Private bathroom: toilet, bathtub, rain shower, hairdryer, towels, shower gel and shampoo. Lovely electrically adjustable bed with luxury mattresses. Terrace and several seating areas overlooking the meadows. Ipad (instead of TV) with internet and streaming possibilities. Sitting area with sofa. Lime-free water. Beautifully adjustable lighting. Breakfast in consultation, €12.50 ppp morning.

The two of us enjoyed our stay this weekend immensely. Wieke's welcome was very warm and from the first moment you feel that the owners have put a lot of passion and love into this place. This is reflected in everything: from the contact to the way the accommodation is furnished and cared for. The owners love to tell you about the history of their farm. Together with tips about the area, this is bundled in a folder that is ready to hand upon arrival. This way you can learn something about the place and surroundings.Everything was spic and span! The room smelled fresh and was clearly cleaned with great care, which immediately gives a nice homely feeling. Thick 10 The practicalities are also well taken care of. The parking area is clear and spacious, allowing you to park your car nearby on a neat, paved surface without any trouble. As an extra nice touch, there is a museum in the making right outside your door, which is definitely interesting to take a look at during your stay.
Wij hebben met zijn tweeën enorm genoten van ons verblijf dit weekend. De ontvangst van Wieke was heel hartelijk en vanaf het eerste moment voel je dat de eigenaren hier veel passie en liefde in hebben gestoken. Dat zie je terug in alles: van het contact tot aan de manier waarop het verblijf is ingericht en verzorgd.
De eigenaren vertellen graag over de geschiedenis van hun boerderij. Samen met tips over de omgeving is dit gebundeld in een map die bij aankomst klaarligt. Zo kun je iets leren over de plek en omgeving.
Alles was spic en span! De kamer rook fris en was duidelijk met veel zorg schoongemaakt, wat meteen een fijn huiselijk gevoel geeft. Dikke 10
Ook de praktische zaken zijn goed geregeld. De parkeergelegenheid is overzichtelijk en ruim opgezet, waardoor je de auto zonder moeite dichtbij kunt parkeren op een nette, verharde ondergrond. Als extra leuke bijkomstigheid is er een museum in wording voor je deur, wat zeker interessant is om even te bekijken tijdens het verblijf.Truly a wonderful stay! The room is built in an old Frisian barn, which gives you a characteristic rural atmosphere while offering modern luxury. Despite the cool outside temperatures, it was very pleasant inside (self-adjustable). Very nice, the shower and toilet separated. The bath is a nice touch and even I (200cm tall) fit comfortably in it. The kitchen is large and fully equipped with all accessories, so even with a longer stay you can cook without difficulty. Everything you need is there. A lot of attention has clearly been paid to the finish; many details have been well thought out and chosen for good quality. The many dimmable lights allow you to create the desired atmosphere yourself, which is especially pleasant in the evening. The electrically adjustable bed is a luxury you do not often come across. The bedding is comfortable and the pillows sleep well, although with my height I could not quite put my feet on the footboard.
Werkelijk een prachtig verblijf! De kamer is gebouwd in een oude Friese schuur, waardoor je een karakteristieke landelijke sfeer ervaart met daarbij wél de moderne luxe. Ondanks de frisse buitentemperaturen was het binnen zeer aangenaam (zelf instelbaar). Heel prettig, de douche en wc gescheiden. Het bad is een fijne bijkomstigheid en zelfs ik (200cm lang) pas er comfortabel in.
De keuken is groot en volledig uitgerust met alle toebehoren, waardoor je ook bij een langer verblijf zonder moeite kunt koken. Alles wat je nodig hebt is aanwezig. Aan de afwerking is duidelijk veel aandacht besteed; over veel details is goed nagedacht en gekozen voor goede kwaliteit.
De vele dimbare lampen maken het mogelijk zelf de gewenste sfeer te creëren, wat vooral ’s avonds erg prettig is. Het elektrische verstelbare bed is een luxe die je niet vaak tegenkomt. Het beddengoed is comfortabel en de kussens slapen goed, al kon ik door het voeteneinde met mijn lengte mijn voeten nét niet helemaal kwijt.This text is automatically translated. -

Super clean and comfortable cottage with very friendly host. The floor was very cold but the air conditioning heater did warm up quickly for a cozy feeling.
Super netjes en comfortabel huisje met zeer vriendelijke host. De vloer was wel erg koud maar de airco verwarming was wel snel warm voor een behaaglijk gevoel.
Very quiet plenty of opportunities to find rest.
Heel rustig volop mogelijkheden om rust te vinden.
