Romantic thatched cottage on the Waal | Betuwe

Experience pure atmosphere and romance in this secluded thatched cottage on the dike in the Betuwe. Enjoy blossoms and fruit in spring, colourful walnut trees in autumn, and an Anton Pieck-like setting by the warm stove in winter. Always beautiful views over the floodplains, private beaches on the Waal and the passing ships. Authentic, peaceful and all yours. The space This thatched cottage is freely and quietly situated in the middle of Betuwe nature. Special features include the small staircase to the sleeping loft (originally from the pulpit of the church in Varik – not suitable for people with mobility issues or larger persons) and the floor made of old cheese boards from the Waag in Alkmaar. You can still see the round cheese shapes in the wood. I have deliberately chosen an authentic and romantic atmosphere that matches the surroundings. Please do not expect extensive modern equipment, but rather a warm, characterful place where you can truly unwind. Guest access You have a fully independent cottage with its own garden. In the garden you’ll find sun loungers, two seating areas, a simple charcoal barbecue and views of nature and the horses. When I’m not around, you are also welcome to use the south garden, the flower garden and sometimes the terrace behind the main house (with a beautiful sunset). I’ll let you know about this in advance. You’re free to use the more comfortable wicker chairs from inside, as long as you bring the cushions indoors at night Other things to note Inside the cottage you’ll find a house ABC with all practical information. The magazine Pluk also offers plenty of inspiration for things to do in the area. Subject to availability, I can rent out two electric bicycles. If you have any specific questions or wishes, feel free to message me in advance so I can accommodate you as well as possible during your stay.
