Our stay with Roel was a quiet stay, accompanied by a friendly welcome, natural beauty, and historical interest. Roel communicated well, and we had several interesting talks. He told us some interesting history of the windmill, and he was fun to talk with. In the morning, we were surrounded by quiet, birds, and water. This is a functioning windmill, and the inner workings were available to inspect, which was fascinating. The breakfast was excellent. Panther, the black cat, is very friendly and welcoming too! At present, bus 69 has a temporary route change, so it does not go by the Herman Ponpad stop, so beware and take an earlier exit, and a little longer walk, if you take the bus from Schipol.
