NetherlandsWhere do I start? Because of our busy lives we always look for quiet areas - well this is it. At the end of a dead end street, ehh: single track road (love it!) we found the farm - we where waited for by Ann who is married with Pat.
Ann - what a lovely amazing lady, what a character! "I'm deaf and daft" she said when we met her. Well, she still hears a lot and she is funny! Walking on bare feet, swimming/skinny dipping in the duck pond - what a character indeed.
We booked the 'tiny house' - we could have stayed there for a week -easily- but because I'm quite tall (2.02m) Ann was concerned about my wellbeing - I could bump my head against the front or back door, the shower - toilet is really small but still all doabe - no problem!
As said we could easily stay in the tiny house for a week but Ann decided to 'upgrade' us to the big house of her daughter who accidentally went on holiday in that week. Well - that house was an upgrade indeed. Faaaar bigger, nice views with sea and valley views.
The other thing we really liked: both the tiny house and the bigger house upgrade had a personal touch - you really felt someone lives there instead of a house being 'decorated' for rental purposes. I have never seen this before - really nice!
Also really nice - the 2 lovely dogs wandering around, the four chickens who at te end get to know you and they even came into the house asking for some bread - loved it!
Pat is part of a 9 man/ (male/female) band - they played on Thursday in a close by pub - really really good!!!!
Tip: walk down the valley to the beach and do not run into anyone else - amazing hike!
We are adding some pictures - note that these are from the 'upgrade' bigger house - but both the tiny house and bigger house (upgrade( are excellent!.
Thank you Ann and Pat - what an amazing week!! We -really- enjoyed it!
