Sleeping with the sheep & a whole herd of horses.

Waking up with a view of the dining room, a herd of horses living in freedom, 2 pigs making their beds in front of the window every evening, and sometimes a sheep walking by... Closer to the pure things in life. Therefore, there is no Wi-Fi and no TV. There is, however, a large table for playing games together and a lovely sofa for drinking a glass of wine together. Make beautiful memories together! And extra fun: the first lambs are born at the beginning of October! The space Dear guests, please read the following carefully. (New! From October 16, the horses or sheep will sleep in the stable next to you.) During your entire stay, you can relax wonderfully with them. The apartment is located in an old stable at the back of the farmhouse, surrounded by the animals. Chickens, rabbits, pigs, sheep and a whole herd of horses living in freedom are your friendly neighbors. The stable is actually one large room with a separate, beautiful bathroom that makes you forget for a moment that you are sleeping in a stable! A "bedroom" has been created by means of a half-height wooden fence with doors. Here, there is a spacious double bed. If you are coming with more than two people, the lovely lounge area can be transformed into a slightly smaller double bed (1.60 m wide) and the sofa can be folded out into a comfortable double bed. This way, it is also possible for 6 people to come and make wonderful memories. In the open kitchen, there is a coffee machine and a kettle. There is also a microwave oven, a large 1-burner stove and a refrigerator with a small freezer compartment. This way, you can prepare a delicious stir-fry, a large pot of soup, or, for example, enjoy a cozy evening with cheese fondue. There is no private garden like at our tiny house, but there is the option of sitting outside on the small terrace right by the entrance, which belongs to the stable. In the morning, when the weather is nice and the farm animals are waking up, it is truly a pleasure to enjoy a cup of coffee or tea here with the rising sun. Would you still like to enjoy an evening on a spacious, covered terrace among the horses? Then it is possible (if available) to optionally reserve "The Little Horse Garden" for an evening. The animals in freedom: All animals live in freedom as much as possible, no cages for the rabbits and no stables for the horses! That's what I stand for and what I want for all animals. They play together, cuddle together and sometimes even fight. All very pure and natural behavior, and even at night, you may sometimes witness some of it. There is also a lot of care involved for the animals, and that also takes place around the stable, and I sometimes cuddle with the animals myself =). So if you're looking for somewhere that's quiet, with fewer animals, and where you can lie topless in the garden in private, you'd better book our other small cottage ;). From the stable, you have a view of the feeding area for the entire herd of horses, where they come and go as they please. Julius and Bommel also live in "the dining room" and every evening they make their nest in front of the window, where they prefer to sleep. The sheep come now and then to seek shade or shelter from the rain, which always depends on the weather conditions and where they feel most comfortable. It is the experience of sleeping close to and with a view of the animals in freedom that makes it so special. A little bit back to basics, without WiFi but with the luxury of a lovely bathroom ;)! Would you like to visit the hustle and bustle? By car, you will be in the cozy town of Sneek in 5 minutes. Shops, terraces and a lively atmosphere. In the summer months, you can reach the Sneekermeer in 5 minutes by car. A cozy beach, water ski run, aqua park, and where you can also enjoy good food and drinks. Of course, you can also get there by bike ; ) With my old Fiat 500, you can also order me as a taxi 😊. I take care of all the animals with love and joy.
