The little carriage on a 500-strong sheep farm was a real dream! The farmers, William and his son, were very, very welcoming and very comfortable going about their long day of work while chatting with visitors and allowing guests as much or as little interaction as desired. We loved seeing the milking and watching sheep come and go morning and evening. Breakfast was great, and the carriage was well-equiped. The Waterland environment is sublime, and it is amazing to be able to stay there and visit Amsterdam with the farm bikes within half an hour. The villages are lovely too, as is biking in the countryside. The bicycles are a bit uncomfortable. If you're planning an intensive bike trip, rent! They are fine for back and forth to Amsterdam. For area restaurants be sure to get some oral routing advice and make sure your choice is open. Or, use GPS and cell phone if you have them!
