This is an amazing barn situated in a really amazing place of the world! I stayed here for two weeks in November 2018 with my partner and it was magnificent. The wonderful wood oven / heater makes things extra snuggly and romantic in the evenings in particular. Especially while enjoying a glass of red wine.
It’s a fantastic place to be based outside of the bustle of Rotterdam but close to everything to let you explore all of Zuid Holland and even Belgium too (we went for a day trip to Antwerp).
Delft and Schiedam are only a 25-30 minute bike ride away and Rotterdam is about 30-35 minutes away by bike. While we were based at the barn, we also went to places like Gouda, Utrecht and Den Haag for day trips.
Marieke and Arne are fantastic hosts and quick to respond to queries as well as help with some local tips.
If you are considering to stay here, do be mindful that it is near farming lands, so you may hear some machinery from time to time during daylight hours. And you will need access to a bike or a car as the public transport (the bus stop is a 10-15 minute walk away) is not that regular, meaning you may not be allowed on the bus as it’s already full by the time it comes. Services for the bus also end very early in the evening... So make sure you have that rental bike handy! It’s the best way to travel anyway.
I absolutely loved staying here and I believe everyone else will too. Pictures don’t do the place justice.
Thank you Marieke and Arne! We will definitely come back to your part of the world one day soon.
