It was a wonderful experience to stay at Henk's place. The cottage is amazing and it is situated in this beautiful countryside. Our room has an unlimited view of the scenery and it was so peaceful to watch the sunset and have a stroll or a bike ride. We could also see different types of animals up which was great. Oli, the dog was so friendly and adorable but he would not come to you if you don't want to.
The place has all of the basic necessities. The wifi is strong. There are tea and coffee in the kitchen, along with a microwave, a fridge and a kettle. Having the breakfast which Henk provided in the morning was such a nice way to start the day.
Henk was also friendly and approachable. When we arrived, he gave us a map and a few brochures and told us about the places that we could go to and how to get there. When we needed to ask something, we could text him and he would response instantly. Yet, he also respects people's space and let us do our own thing. When he came over to leave us the breakfast in the kitchen, we were not disturbed at all.
It is however, slightly farther from central. To get to the cottage from Amsterdam Central Station, we had to get two buses but Henk was really nice to pick us up from the bus station where we were supposed to get our second bus and when we were leaving, he helped to send us off to the bus station to get the bus to Amsterdam Central. On our second day, we had a lovely cycling trip to Amsterdam Central. Getting on the free ferry ride with the bicycles to get to Central was a cool experience too. After having a day out in Central, it could be a little bit tiring cycling back but it was so worth it to come back to a peaceful place. There was also another room in the cottage for the other visitors but we were not disturbed at all and we could do our own thing. We will definitely come back again whenever we are in Amsterdam. Thanks, Henk.
