René and Yvette's animals farm puts you square in the middle of wetlands, a mere 40' out of Amsterdam centre by bicycle or walk+bus (or 20' by car). The pipokars we stayed in, a pair of old-style horse-drawn trailers felt a bit like sailboat cabins, which fit perfectly the canals-crisscrossed mood of the surrounding countryside.
The hosts are very friendly and welcoming, and despite a rather unfortunate and grim weather for the season, made our stay very enjoyable.
Ample breakfast is served daily, and the spartan kitchen supplies were sufficient to fix a late supper after a long day touring the city.
