Welcome to the beautiful nature house "De Zwaluw." A architecturally designed vacation home from the 1970s. Surrounded by glass and with a view of the garden. The cottage is situated in a secluded spot within a small-scale park. It’s located near the Dark Sky area, and from the backyard, you can walk right to the marina, the woods, and Lauwersmeer. The garden offers a sheltered spot, and there are many birds. Even kingfishers and sea eagles have been spotted. The cottage measures 55 m² and features modern furnishings. The living room has a spacious corner sofa, heating, and a wood stove (please bring your own firewood). The kitchen is new and features an induction cooktop, refrigerator, freezer, and dishwasher. There are two bedrooms: one with a 140-wide double bed and the other with a 1.40 cm-wide sofa bed. There is a small bathroom with a shower, sink, and toilet. Please note: there is no TV. You can, for example, listen to music, play games, and watch the wood stove ;-). Wi-Fi is available. Small children: there are two unsecured ponds.
Nature and surroundings
The cottage is located near the Wadden Sea and is surrounded by a nature reserve, making it ideal for birdwatchers. It’s a wonderful place for walks, and the small marina is just a stone’s throw away. The Wadden Sea World Heritage Center (WEC) has just opened, featuring beautiful and informative films and animations about the history of this unique nature reserve and the seal sanctuary. Near the Wadden Sea, you’ll find several restaurants; you can take the boat to Schiermonnikoog or stroll along the pier. In the Dark Sky area, you can stargaze and sometimes even see the Northern Lights. Roe deer and many species of birds live there. Of course, there’s also the marina. It features a restaurant, a laundromat, and bike rentals. “De Rug” is 5 km away; there you can take a planet tour, among other things, and there’s a restaurant. Zoutkamp and Dokkum are nice places to visit. Tourist information is available in the cottage.

Highly recommended
Een aanrader
A cozy cottage with all the comforts. The bedrooms are a bit cramped, but we hardly noticed it. Good lighting, comfortable chairs. Located along a road, but we hardly noticed it. You step outside and, as it were, step right into nature. Highly recommended.
Een gezellig huisje met alle comfort. Wel wat krappe slaapkamers. Goede verlichting, degelijke zetels. Gelegen langs een weg, maar nauwelijks last van gehad. Je komt buiten en stapt als het ware de natuur binnen. Een aanrader.

There was nothing to complain about with the cottage, and it was fully equipped. It was nicely decorated and had a comfortable couch. The bed was great, too. One set of sliding doors could be opened, but the other was locked, which was a bit of a shame, because it was a little farther away from the neighbors and it might have been nicer to have that one open so we could close the other one to block out the barking of the dog(s).
Op het huisje was niets aan te merken en van alle gemakken voorzien. Mooi ingericht en een relaxte bank. Het bed was ook prima. Er kon 1 schuifpui open, de andere zat op slot, wat een beetje jammer was, omdat deze wat meer bij de buren vandaan zat en wellicht prettiger was geweest deze open te hebben om de andere te kunnen sluiten tegen het geblaf van de hond(en).
I think I had some bad luck with the neighbors, because their dog(s) barked a lot when they were left home alone, and when they were outside, they would come into the yard or approach you in the little square every day. One even jumped into the little pond… luckily, my dog didn’t react to it. I did find the traffic quite loud, though. There are plenty of woods and hiking trails, though dogs are mostly kept on a leash. Unfortunately, blue-green algae had been detected in the water near the beaches, so that limited our options a bit. All in all, we were able to go on some nice walks and bike rides.
Ik had denk ik wat pech met de buren, want er was veel geblaf van hun hond(en) als deze alleen thuis werden gelaten en als ze buiten waren kwamen ze dagelijks de tuin in of naar je toe op het pleintje. Eentje sprong zelfs in het vijvertje…gelukkig reageerde mijn hond hier verder niet op. Ik vond het autoverkeer wel erg hoorbaar. Veel bos en wandelmogelijkheden, voor de hond wel voornamelijk aangelijnd. Helaas was er blauwalg in het water bij de strandjes geconstateerd, dus dat beperkte de opties ook een beetje. Al met al wel wat mooie wandelingen en fietstochtjes kunnen maken.
