This place was a real find being so close to the heart of Amsterdam by free commuter ferry but still felt like a little rural haven away from the touristy area with a lovely garden, chickens and adjacent to a lock and parkland. The cycling on the north side out to some small hamlets was really special. The cottage was beautifully set up and homely. Nancy and Hans went out of there way to assist when needed. We would definitely recommend this place to all our friends.
