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.

I highly recommend this cottage to everyone. It's a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. You really feel welcome here.
Ik raad dit huisje echt aan iedereen aan. Heerlijk ontspannen en genieten van de rustige omgeving. Je voelt je hier echt welkom.
This nature house is highly recommended if you want to truly unwind! It’s very cozy and offers a beautiful view of the meadows. The family is very friendly and hospitable, and they provided a delicious breakfast and a wonderful dinner for a small fee. You can enjoy a nice walk in the area or just relax on the patio. They also have some lovely animals around the house. I’d love to come back here again!
Dit natuurhuisje is echt een aanrader om helemaal tot rust te komen! Het is erg gezellig ingericht en heeft een prachtig uitzicht over de weilanden. De familie is erg vriendelijk en gastvrij en verzorgden een heerlijk ontbijt + een heerlijke avondmaaltijd tegen een kleine vergoeding. Je kunt fijn wandelen in de omgeving of lekker uitrusten op het terras. Ze hebben ook fijne dieren rond het huis. Ik kom hier heel graag opnieuw terug!

A fantastic stay in a beautiful, peaceful setting. Incredibly hospitable owners, a delicious breakfast, and a place where you can truly unwind. I highly recommend it!
Fantastisch verblijf op een prachtige, rustige locatie. Ontzettend gastvrije eigenaren, heerlijk ontbijt en een plek waar je echt tot rust komt. Absoluut een aanrader!
From the very first moment, we felt completely at home in this beautiful spot on the Ackersdijk. It was the ideal place to unwind—so pleasant, in fact, that we spontaneously booked an extra night. How sweet that this was even possible! During our stay, we were able to use two bikes, which we rode to Delft several times and even took on a trip to The Hague. The animals also made our stay extra special. Mollie, the sweetest dog, came by every day to say hello and give us a cuddle. And the goats were also so much fun, especially the oldest one, who loves to give licks. Adriaan and Brigit are incredibly hospitable and warm. They’re always there for you and regularly surprised us with treats from their own garden. Breakfast was a treat every morning, with delicious homemade sourdough bread and homemade jam. We look back on this special experience with great fondness and are incredibly grateful. We’d love to come back!
Wij voelden ons vanaf het allereerste moment helemaal thuis op dit prachtige plekje aan de Ackersdijk. Het was de ideale plek om tot rust te komen zo fijn zelfs dat we spontaan een extra nacht hebben bijgeboekt. Wat lief dat dit ook nog mogelijk was! Tijdens ons verblijf konden we gebruikmaken van twee fietsen, waarmee we meerdere keren naar Delft zijn gefietst en zelfs een tocht naar Den Haag hebben gemaakt. Ook de dieren maakten ons verblijf extra bijzonder. Mollie, de allerliefste hond, kwam elke dag even gedag zeggen en knuffelen. En de geitjes waren ook ontzettend leuk, vooral de oudste, die graag een likje uitdeelt. Adriaan en Brigit zijn ongelooflijk gastvrij en hartelijk. Ze staan altijd voor je klaar en verrasten ons regelmatig met lekkers uit hun eigen tuin. Het ontbijt was iedere ochtend een feestje, met heerlijk zelfgebakken zuurdesembrood en huisgemaakte jam. We kijken met veel warmte terug op deze bijzondere ervaring en zijn ontzettend dankbaar. We komen graag terug!
