This national monument, dating from 1860, is magnificent and oh-so-beautifully simple. It stands in the heart of the Noardlike Fryske Wâlden, the beautiful bocage landscape. Since 2021, we’ve been living in this farmhouse with our three young children. At the back of the “pleats,” we built two cottages with our own hands: “de ko” and “it skiep.” Upon entering, you’ll see the barn on one side and the cottages on the other. “It skiep” is a romantic 60m2 space, fully equipped and offering privacy. Private entrance. Welcome: coffee/tea and a typical Frisian treat. Kitchen: kitchenware, oven, stovetop, dishwasher, refrigerator, and kitchen linens. Private bathroom: toilet, bathtub, rain shower, hair dryer, towels, shower gel, and shampoo. Electrically adjustable bed with luxury mattresses. Terrace and seating areas in the courtyard with views of the meadows. iPad (instead of TV) with internet and streaming capabilities. Indirect natural light through barn windows. Air conditioning. Beautifully adjustable lighting throughout the B&B. Breakfast by arrangement, €12.50 per person per morning.

    We had a very nice time in the cottage and can highly recommend it! The cottage was fully equipped with everything you could possibly need, and is beautifully and warmly decorated just as shown in the pictures. At the entrance you are greeted by a beautiful little museum themed "the old-fashioned farm," which fits nicely with the national monument building in which the lodging is located. In addition, a very sweet cat, a goat and a handful of chickens roam the grounds, making things even cozier. The owner was very sweet, hospitable, helpful, and was fine in communication and easily accessible.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    The cottage is in a nice and quiet location. The area was nice and quiet and green, and full of natural life (birds, butterflies, deer, etc.). There are plenty of natural areas and lakes to visit nearby.
