A Peaceful Place To Relax

We loved the peaceful setting out in the country. It was a great place to unwind. We enjoyed the sheep, swans, and other birds. It was incredible to see a windmill up close out of our windows every day.

Windmill Cottage

Windmill Cottage was a delightfully appointed place to stay for 4 adults. Our host Hans was most helpful in suggesting places to visit and where to eat and we enjoyed looking around his farm. A most enjoyable stay and would highly recommend it for a delightful experience.

Un superbe séjour - wonderfull stay

We have spent a wonderfull time in Hans's cottage. The location is very comfortable and practical with a beautiful view on the countryside. All the great towns ( Gouda, Delft, Amsterdam, la Haye,...) are near (30 to 45 mn by car) so it is very convenient for the visits in the beautiful Holland. Great stay fully recommanded with a great mill to visit !!

Perfect introduction to the Netherlands!

This place was perfect for our first visit to the Netherlands. Hans was a perfect host and even took us inside his home and showed us the inner workings of the windmill at the request of our 12 year old. Loved coming home to this place in the evening, we would love to come stay here again in the future.

Excellent Stay

We stayed 6 nights in April. Highly recommended. Small village with a Spar and a bakery/coffee shop on the large canal just a km away. Nice to watch all sizes of boats up the canal. Owner very cordial and helpful. Well located to visit the nearby towns. Peaceful. The windmill is very very interesting.

Wonderful Stay

We came to see the tulip fields and absolutely loved this VRBO. This location was an easy 20-minute drive to Keukenhof. It was nice and quiet. There was a patio where you could relax and enjoy the views. Hans was very friendly and communicative and even arranged a last-minute tour of the windmill for us. Our kids loved the trampoline and the soccer play area. I highly recommend this location. Thank you Hans for such a wonderful stay.

Amazing, convenient, and relaxing

We loved our stay at the Windmill Cottage! Hans was very helpful and welcoming, the cottage was very clean, big, and had everything we needed. The location is very convenient to other parts of Holland, and it was lovely biking in the area with bikes that we could easily and cheaply rent from Hans. The sunsets were amazing, and it was special to see ducks, swans, rabbits, and other animals in this quiet and beautiful area. If we come back to Holland, we will definitely stay here again.

Lovely place

We stayed 4 days in this very lovely place. We are a big family (2 adults and 5 children), the place is very cozy, we have a lot of place inside the cottage, and also outside (rarely used because of the weather). Is very close to the old windmill where the cottage owners live. The owners are very kind persons, and will be happy to give you also information about places to visit during your stay. We will come back certainly, if we will visit the Netherland again.

Truly Dutch Experience

This property provides the quintessential Dutch experience - beautiful cottage on the footsteps of a windmill overlooking the Dutch polders with farmland and animals. It’s in a very central but quiet location, with easy access to all the famous sites in Holland. This is my 27th trip to NL and where I chose to introduce my children to my homeland. It exceeded all expectations.

Swans and Goats and windmills

We loved our stay here after 4 busy days in Amsterdam it was the perfect venue and easily accessible to many destinations. The owner was very helpful and easily reached. The only downside perhaps were the beds which were small and a little too hard. The bedroom upstairs also did not have a bathroom nearby. other that that we had a terrific visit! :)

Quaint Dutch experience

My family and I spent one month at the cottage. We were able to completely relax and really feel like we lived like the Dutch. It’s located just off the beaten path from the big town. Everything is accessible by foot/bike/ or auto. The location is peaceful and we felt very safe. The property has full amenities and is kept up with beautiful gardens. Our host Hans was amazing and accommodating as well. He gave us lots of information and was super helpful on the area, as well as traveling around the country. There is plenty for the kids to do here… we had a teenager and toddlers! Our favorite was bonding with the farm animals and feeding the sheep. We will definitely visit again!

Our favorite place to stay!

Our 3 night stay at the Windmill Cottage was all that it promised and more. My family trip included my mom (85 years young), my two brothers and me - on a journey throughout the Netherlands. We enjoyed the ability to cook and enjoy meals both inside and outside with ample space to relax the enjoy an early morning or a sublime sunset. Hans, our host, whose rental is appointment with modern amenities, was thoughtful and brought 3 bikes for us to use. Later he kindly gave us a tour of the windmill that has been in his family for generations. I highly recommend this special place - close to the coast, to Amsterdam and Rotterdam or trips to nearly Delft and Gouda and more. We enjoyed the traditional bedstay and loved talking with the sheep. Many thanks to Hans and his family for sharing this exquisitely beautiful spot on the planet.
