About this property

Beautiful, country style cottage near the windmill, polder and windmill view

On a unique location, in the Green Heart of the Netherlands, on the edge of Alphen aan den Rijn, a splendid cottage was built and opened in 2014. The cottage is cozy and picturesque, decorated in country style; a place to enjoy and to relax. Situated nearby the windmill, you can see the windmill to one side and the beautiful polder landscape to the other side, where in summertime, cows and sheep graze outside. The cottage is surrounded by 3 terrasses.

The cottage is adjusted for 4 persons, of course less is also possible. The mentioned price is based on a maximum of 4 persons. An extension up to 6 persons is possible by use of one extra bedroom, or up to 8 persons by connecting the next door apartment, by way of an inside door. For more then 4 persons another price is applied. For more information about the extra bedroom or apartment, please ask your question on the 'Contact' page.

The cottage and the connected house are built in nostalgic country style, in perfect harmony with the windmill and the landscape. Lots of old materials have been used, like beams, bricks and the rooftiles of the former old cowshed.

On the groundfloor there is a cozy double bedstead (160 x 210 cm) and above of this bedstead it is possible for one or two children to sleep.This is an extra sleeping possibility, children don't have to sleep there. The space above the bed on top is limited because of the ceiling. All matresses are of good quality.

There is also a complete modern kitchen, a dining table and a cozy lounge area on the ground floor. There is also a bathroom with a shower and a seperate toilet.

On the first floor is a bedroom with two single beds. The boxsprings and mattrasses are of good quality. We have 'four season' wool duvets on all of the beds.

You are a guest of Hans and Susanne Vrolijk and their two children, the inhabitants of the windmill. Besides his Job as a technician, Hans is the miller of this windmill on a voluntary basis. Susanne Is a portaitpainter.
They would be very happy to welcome you!

Ofcourse it is possible to have a look out and inside the windmill, the miller is happy to tell you about its history and function.

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! :)

Tolle Unterkunft, netter Gastgeber
Das Ferienhaus liegt wunderschön und ruhig in den Poldern, mit weiter Aussicht und ist nicht weit von Leiden entfernt. Die Unterkunft ist schön hell und sehr gemütlich eingerichtet. Hans ist ein super Gastgeber, der schnell auf alle Wünsche einging. Miete von Fahrrädern für die ganze Familie war bei ihm auch möglich. Einen Aufenthalt kann ich nur empfehlen.

Holland pur
Eine wunderbar gelegene Ferienwohnung, sehr ruhig, schön eingerichtet, alle Geräte für gutes Kochen vorhanden. Mit dem Fahrrad ist die nahegelegene Stadt Alphen gut zu erreichen und die idyllische Umgebung einschl. der Stadt Leiden gut zu erkunden. Die übrigen Städte (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Delft) und die Nordsee sind ebenso gut mit Auto und ÖPNV zu erreichen. Ein idealer Ort, Holland mit seiner bukolischen Landschaft und historischen und modernen Städten kennen zu lernen.

Super Ferienwohnung
Wir hatten einen tollen Urlaub. Die Ferienwohnung liegt perfekt und wunderschön in der Natur. Zum Meer sind es 35 Minuten mit dem Auto. Mann kann herrlich Fahrrad fahren und es gibt viele schöne Städte in unmittelbarer Nähe.
