A cozy cottage, tucked away in the countryside, within biking distance of Delft and Rotterdam—and, for those willing to go the extra mile, The Hague. Privacy, with a private patio and parking right outside the door. The tastefully decorated cottage was completely renovated three years ago and offers unobstructed views of the meadows. A sheltered little terrace, surrounded by flowers, offers a wonderful place to relax. The cottage consists of one room with a double bed, a sink, a kettle, a coffee maker, dishes, and silverware. There is a separate bathroom with a shower, sink, and toilet. We’ll prepare breakfast for you, including fresh eggs, homemade jam, and homemade bread. The cottage is located in our garden, where we grow organic vegetables. Our goats help us clear away excess branches and leaves, and our chickens ensure that every scrap of food is put to good use. There are no cooking facilities. Upon request, we can prepare a meal for you using vegetables from our own organic garden (for a small fee).
Nature and surroundings
The cottage is nestled between the Ackerdijkse Plassen, a nature reserve managed by Natuurmonumenten, and the Delfland Water Board’s flood control basin. The Ackerdijkse Plassen consist of a bird sanctuary where spoonbills, storks, cormorants, and many meadow birds live. Our garden is full of flowers that attract bees, butterflies, and bumblebees. Swallows nest in our barn every year. A bike path runs past our house (bike junction 64), connecting to lovely cycling routes through the polders and to the major cities in the area. The charming city of Delft, full of restaurants and cafés, is a 20-minute bike ride from here. A trip to the Rotterdam metropolitan area—with its impressive harbors, entertainment along the Maas River, museums, and the Euromast—is also well worth it.

They’ve thought of everything; the hosts are friendly and very attentive. We enjoyed a hot meal on the day of our arrival (for a small fee), which we really appreciated. The breakfast was also excellent, with homemade jam and/or juice. They use produce from their own garden, which is really nice. The dog welcomes you with a hug and loves attention. We stayed here for two nights, attended a musical in Delft, and didn’t get around to exploring anything else. We saw lots of people biking, walking, and running, and there are bodies of water in the area.
Aan alles is gedacht, de gastheer/vrouw zijn vriendelijk en zeer attent. Wij hebben genoten van een warme maaltijd op de dag van aankomst (tegen kleine vergoeding) wat erg gewaardeerd werd door ons. Ook prima ontbijt met zelfgemaakte jam en/of sap. Er wordt gebruik gemaakt van producten uit eigen (moes)tuin wat erg leuk is. De hond verwelkomt je met een knuffel en is dol op aandacht. Wij waren hier twee nachten , hebben een musical in Delft bezocht en zijn aan andere ontdekkingen niet toegekomen. We zagen veel mensen fietsen, wandelen, hardlopen en er is water in de omgeving.
A really lovely spot to relax. Lots of natural light, which is very pleasant and makes the space feel airy.
Een heel fijn plekje om tot rust te komen. Veel lichtinval wat erg fijn is en ruimtelijk overkomt.

The cottage is well-maintained and thoughtfully designed. It’s laid out logically, fully equipped, and immediately comfortable. The owners are kind, attentive, and truly go out of their way to help—you can tell that in everything they do. The grounds are beautiful, lovingly maintained, and feel warm and inviting. The place itself is quiet, green, and simply a great location to get away from it all.
Huisje goed verzorgd en doordacht. Logisch ingedeeld, compleet en meteen prettig om in te zijn. De eigenaren zijn lief, zorgzaam en denken echt met je mee — dat merk je aan alles. Het erf is prachtig, met aandacht gemaakt en voelt warm en uitnodigend. De plek zelf is rustig, groen en gewoon een hele goeie locatie om even helemaal weg te zijn.
The cottage was cozy but by no means small, and equipped with everything you could hope for during a stay. The surroundings were peaceful and quiet, with a wooded area within walking distance and sweeping views across the meadows. You can literally go in any direction here: hiking, running, or biking—without any hassle or crowds. It’s a place where you naturally slow down and where nature truly takes center stage. Absolutely wonderful.
Het huisje was knus maar zeker niet klein, en voorzien van alles wat je hoopt tijdens een verblijf. De omgeving was rustgevend en stil, met een bosrijke hoek op loopafstand en wijdse uitzichten over de weilanden. Je kunt hier letterlijk alle kanten op: wandelen, rennen of fietsen, zonder gedoe en zonder drukte. Een plek waar je vanzelf vertraagt en waar de natuur echt de hoofdrol speelt. Werkelijk geweldig.
