We had a great time with 8 friends. The fort island is now full of sheep, but you can still go there—it's fun to explore!
Met 8 vrienden genoten. Het fort-eiland staat nu vol met schapen maar je kan er alsnog op, leuk om te verkennen!
Nice place. The guardhouse has a beautiful view of the polder and southern Amsterdam. You can adjust the temperature of the hot tub yourself, so it’s never too hot or too cold. The cottage isn’t new, of course, which gives it plenty of charm. All the amenities work perfectly.
Leuk plek. Het wachtershuis heeft een mooi uitzicht over de polder en het zuiden van A'dam. Je kan zelf de temperatuur van de hottub instellen waardoor die niet te warm of koud is. Het huisje is natuurlijk geen nieuwbouw, wat het flink wat charme geeft. Alle faciliteiten werken prima.

There weren't enough pots, plates, and bowls in the house for 11 people. I also mentioned this to the owner. We probably missed a cabinet where extra tableware was stored. The owner said he'll likely address this in the future based on our feedback.
In het huis waren wel te weinig pannen, borden en schalen voor 11 mensen. Ik heb dit ook gemeld aan de eigenaar. Waarschijnlijk hebben we een kast gemist waarin extra servies stond. De eigenaar zei dat hij hier waarschijnlijk iets in de toekomst aan zal doen ivm aangeven
Surroundings = a solid 10! Had a great time. The hot tub was amazing, and the surroundings were great too, with a swimming lake nearby.
Omgeving=dikke 10! Mooie tijd gehad. Jacuzzi geweldig en omgeving ook met zwemplas in de buurt

We had a fantastic weekend in Abcoude. Tess made sure we had a warm welcome and was a great host. The house is spacious and had enough room for 8 people. Definitely recommended if you love nature and tranquility.
We hadden een fantastisch weekend in Abcoude. Tess zorgde ervoor dat we een warm ontvangst hadden en was een geweldige host. Het huis is ruim en had voldoende plek voor 8 mensen. Zeker een aanrader als je houdt van natuur en rust
Super quiet, close to highway but not bothered at all. Blessed to enjoy the hot tub. Fantastic place for nice walk.
Super rustig, dichtbij autostrade maar geen enkel last van. Zalig om te genieten in de hot tub. Fantastische plek voor mooie wandeling.
