I stayed in one of Henk's Pipowagens for a couple of nights in July with my teenage daughters.

Despite the weather we had a fantastic time from beginning to end. Henk picked us up from the ferry stop and took us to the farm for a symbolic fee. And our host René was kind and courteous and made us feel very welcome.

We can't fault the accommodation. The wagens are very well equipped and the beds comfortable. There is a reasonable internet connection. And we were greeted each morning by the sounds of hungry goats and donkeys!

We slept very soundly and were ready for a day on the bikes round the city. But only after a HUGE breakfast that we really weren't expecting. Thank you René and family :-)

The bikes were just right for the three of us. We followed the canals into the city, saw the main sights, and cycled back in the evening. Perfect!

Would definitely recommened for anyone looking for alternative accommodation and a taste of the Dutch countryside literally on the doorstep of the Amsterdam.
