Well what can I say ... our Tiny House experience was amazing!! Geraldine and her lovely Mum were the best hosts. Geraldine was away when we first arrived (on holiday herself) and yet was still in constant communication with me as we weren’t too sure of our arrival time. But it didn’t matter as her mother, who was meeting us, was so accommodating and helpful.
The accommodation blew me away. Yes it’s tiny but it packs a punch. It’s so carefully thought out & every inch of space is used so well. There were so many personal touches - wine and snack, fresh flowers and a detailed pack detailing the history of Durgerdam and what’s in the area an surrounding areas. And the pack was personal - had our names printed in it :) The facilities are spot on - there was nothing else that we needed. The place was spotless and all of our linen was freshly washed. The use of the bikes was great and it was lovely to roam the surrounding areas and take in the beautiful scenery. The best thing about staying in the Tiny House were the views. I would wake up, make myself a coffee and then sit on the patio watching the cows and ducks. And out front you had the amazing views of the dike (which we had a dip in). I just loved it there. Was so serene and yet only down the road from the bustling Amsterdam, which was so easy to get to. We either drove or we rode the bikes to the tram station only 5/10 mins away. We also drove around the surrounding areas and explored a little of North Holland, which I would highly recommend.
I am already planning my holiday next year as we only stayed for 3 days. We want to come back, stay in The Tiny House again and do some more exploring of Amsterdam and North Holland.
Thanks so much Geraldine, I can totally see why you were inspired to create the Tiny House - to share the amazing Durgerdammerdijk.
