We had a wonderful stay at Henk's lovely, picturesque cottage during May 2015. The cottage is exactly as described in the pictures . Set amidst green fields and wild flowers , it is a lovely break from the hustle bustle of the city. We were lucky to wake up to the sight of wild hares running through the fields :-) . We drove around the local villages and it was breathtakingly beautiful and a bird lovers paradise. Henk, his wife and their lovely dog Ollie make for wonderful and warm hosts. Their neighbors are warm and helpful too. The breakfast spread is simple but wholesome and sufficient. Henk lets out bicycles for free and we cycled into Amsterdam. We recommend google maps for the best directions into the city and back. Another option is to park at the Zeeburg P+R tram station and take the tram into the city. Be sure to learn how to use your train ticket to avail of the 1 euro parking fee if you are using the train. At the end of the your journey, you need to enter the parking ticket you receive at the entry gantry into the machine at the tram station and tap your train ticket so the parking ticket registers your use of public transport and you can avail of the 1 eurp parking fee. A bit complicated to execute so make sure you as at the tram office. I would rate my experience a 5 but for the complications we had to work through to figure out the commute into the city.
All in all, a lovely experience and highly recommended.
