Thank you very much for you great review! We hope to welcome you again some time!
We had great accommodations that were very suitable for our family of 7 adults. Comfortable, clean, and it had everything we needed. We loved the countryside where the house is situated, and it was close enough for our scheduled activities.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are happy you enjoyed your stay and we hope to welcome you again.
We had an excellent stay in this amazing property. It's in a beautiful and peaceful rural setting, and has fantastic facilities. Our families particularly enjoyed the spa (hot tub, sauna and steam room) and the games room (arcade games, football table and pinball machine). We also had great fun with a couple of family shuffleboard competitions. The check-in/check-out process and handover with Mark was excellent and he provided an excellent overview of the property and its facilities.

Thank you for your kind review! We hope to welcome you back again in the future!
We very much loved our stay at this property. The house was extremely comfortable and above expectations. The grounds are spectacular. Originally we are Dutch but moved to the states about 40 years ago and visit our family pretty much every year and then rent a house big enough for our son and grandkids to join us. In summary one of our best vacations.

What a wonderful review, we are glad you enjoyed your stay so much! Thank you and hopefully till next time!
The property is spacious, clean and comfortable. The host was very responsive, and helpful. A small village in near proximity is convenient for restaurants and a grocery store. The property's online presence does not do it justice, better than anticipated.

It was a great pleasure. The house and the wonderful garden were great. The house coordination was well organized by Mark. Thank you very much Mark. Also sending a lot of links for activities and the environment, Amsterdam etc. were very helpful. We used all: the activity room, sauna, jacuzzi, fitness room..... BR Mario

What a wonderful review, thank you so much! We are happy you enjoyed your stay and we hope to welcome you again some time.
My mom, who is 86, wanted to return to her homeland of the Netherlands one more time, with all her kids. She wanted to spend some time in Friesland, as she said she never had the chance while growing up. We had a wonderful time in this absolutely amazing home. Although we were out and about a lot, It would be the perfect home to spend with friends or family and just hang out and enjoy all the amenities of this home, and Marc could not have been more friendly and helpful. I strongly recommend it.

So nice that your mother came back to The Netherlands and that you all had such a wonderful time! We were very happy to have you and hope to welcome you again some day. Thank you for the lovely review!
The property surpassed all expectations, the photos do not to it justice! First impressions left our mouths wide open it’s huge rooms far larger than we were expecting with beautiful interior design, spacious gardens, all the facilities you’d ever need. The cleanliness of the whole property was excellent it looked and felt new. The location was lovely with stunning scenery and very peaceful.
A special thank you to Mark the property manager for being so welcoming and helpful with everything to do with the property and suggestions of places to go, talking to you was fantastic and you helped make our holiday.
We didn’t want to go home!

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt in dem sehr großzügigen und luxuriösen Feriendomizil sehr genossen. Der Spa-Bereich mit Sauna, Dampfkabine und Whirlpool war hervorragend.Der Spieleraum hat sich großer Beliebtheit erfreut. In der großzügigen Küche haben wir viele schöne Kochabende verbracht. Als kleine Verbesserung würden wir eine Auflaufform und Schnapsgläser aus Glas vorschlagen.Wir möchten uns nochmal besonders bei Mark bedanken, der uns sehr freundlich empfangen hat und stets für Fragen erreichbar war.Gerne wieder!

We hebben een heerlijke vakantie gehad in een heerlijk huis!Het huis ligt in een prachtige, rustige omgeving.Het huis is super compleet, schoon en de tuin is geweldig.We werden goed ontvangen door Mark. Hij nam de tijd om ons het huis te laten zien en halverwege de vakantie vroeg hij nog even of alles naar wens was. Ook dus uitcheck verliep soepel.

Thank you for your wonderful review, hopefully we can welcome you again in the future!
Wir sind eine internationale Familie (6 Erwachsene und zwei Hunde). Wir haben eine sehr schöne und erholsame Woche in diesem tollen Ferienhaus verbracht. Unsere Erwartungen wurden bei weitem übertroffen. Das Haus ist sehr sauber, sehr konfortabel und hochwertig ausgestattet. Eine große Terasse, der wunderschöne große Garten und der Wellnessbereich (Sauna, Whirlpool) laden zur Entspannung ein. Mark hat uns sehr herzlich empfangen, sehr gut beraten und uns einen besonders freundlichen und hilfsbereiten Eindruck hinterlassen. Die Kommunikation per Mail mit Herrn Schipper hat auch sehr gut funktioniert. Herzlichen Dank!Das Ferienhaus ist zu 100% zu empfehlen.

Es war ein wunderbarer Urlaub. Das Haus ist top und es gibt wirklich nichts zu bemängeln. Besonders hervorzuheben ist der sehr freundliche Service von Mark, der uns persönlich begrüßt und verabschiedet hat und jederzeit für Fragen zur Verfügung stand. Das Haus bietet sehr viel Erholung und Abwechslung sowohl für Jung als auch Alt. Besser kann es nicht sein. Wir kommen wieder :-)

We beleefden een hele aangename week in de kerstvakantie met onze groep van 8 personen in deze grote, alleenstaande villa, voorzien van alle nodige faciliteiten. De extra voorzieningen in het huis, zoals de sportruimte, jacuzzi, sauna, Turks stoombad en vooral de spelletjeskamer, bezorgen zowel volwassenen als kinderen een hele aangename tijd en maken het plaatje compleet.De kamers zijn ruim en de bedden comfortabel en er is ook genoeg ruimte voor privacy, dankzij het grote aantal ruimtes in de woning en de grote tuin. Bovendien is de villa gelegen in een uitzonderlijk rustige omgeving en zijn er overal hele mooie verzichten.Indien u tegelijkertijd houdt van rust en natuur en graag actief bezig bent, dan bent u in deze vakantiewoning dus zeker op het juiste adres!
