This is a charming and unique home in a magical setting. When you sit in the hammock chair, overlooking the flowers and trees with a duck pond, and large safari animals crafted from wood, you really feel like you are in a magical place.
Check in is a bit do-it-yourself, we did not actually meet our hosts until late morning, just before we checked out, however they were delightful and made us feel most at home. Their kittens rule the roost here, and are often found leaping out of flowerbeds into your lap as you sit outside. Watch out when you are eating al fresco though as they are fast to pounce! Breakfast was a platter of yoghurt with fruit and seeds, bread with prosciutto and Edam, croissants with jam, and juices, teas coffee etc. Really lovely omelette too with what we suspect are laid by the charming feathered ladies living at the end of the garden.
The room was clean and decorated tastefully, comfy bed, nice shower and sink area. The communal living for space is way better than we expected - it’s very handy to have good cooking (and coffee!) facilities as aside from the park café, there are little restaurants to choose from.
The nearest transport links to Centraal are from Gaasperplas metro, take the 53 for half an hour. To get to the station you have a 15-20 minute walk through (the wonderfully idyllic and wildlife-rich) Gaasperplas Park, though you may want to plan ahead if you are not prepared to carry heavy luggage that far.
We had a very restful and romantic stay here, and will surely be back sometime to explore more of this beautiful part of the Netherlands. Thank you!
