Beautiful, country style cottage near the windmill, polder and windmill view

On a unique location, in the Green Heart of the Netherlands, on the edge of Alphen aan den Rijn, a splendid cottage was built and opened in 2014. The cottage is cozy and picturesque, decorated in country style; a place to enjoy and to relax. Situated nearby the windmill, you can see the windmill to one side and the beautiful polder landscape to the other side, where in summertime, cows and sheep graze outside. The cottage is surrounded by 3 terrasses.

The cottage is adjusted for 4 persons, of course less is also possible. The mentioned price is based on a maximum of 4 persons. An extension up to 6 persons is possible by use of one extra bedroom, or up to 8 persons by connecting the next door apartment, by way of an inside door. For more then 4 persons another price is applied. For more information about the extra bedroom or apartment, please ask your question on the 'Contact' page.

The cottage and the connected house are built in nostalgic country style, in perfect harmony with the windmill and the landscape. Lots of old materials have been used, like beams, bricks and the rooftiles of the former old cowshed.

On the groundfloor there is a cozy double bedstead (160 x 210 cm) and above of this bedstead it is possible for one or two children to sleep.This is an extra sleeping possibility, children don't have to sleep there. The space above the bed on top is limited because of the ceiling. All matresses are of good quality.

There is also a complete modern kitchen, a dining table and a cozy lounge area on the ground floor. There is also a bathroom with a shower and a seperate toilet.

On the first floor is a bedroom with two single beds. The boxsprings and mattrasses are of good quality. We have 'four season' wool duvets on all of the beds.

You are a guest of Hans and Susanne Vrolijk and their two children, the inhabitants of the windmill. Besides his Job as a technician, Hans is the miller of this windmill on a voluntary basis. Susanne Is a portaitpainter.
They would be very happy to welcome you!

Ofcourse it is possible to have a look out and inside the windmill, the miller is happy to tell you about its history and function.

A Peaceful Place To Relax

We loved the peaceful setting out in the country. It was a great place to unwind. We enjoyed the sheep, swans, and other birds. It was incredible to see a windmill up close out of our windows every day.

Windmill Cottage

Windmill Cottage was a delightfully appointed place to stay for 4 adults. Our host Hans was most helpful in suggesting places to visit and where to eat and we enjoyed looking around his farm. A most enjoyable stay and would highly recommend it for a delightful experience.

Perfect introduction to the Netherlands!

This place was perfect for our first visit to the Netherlands. Hans was a perfect host and even took us inside his home and showed us the inner workings of the windmill at the request of our 12 year old. Loved coming home to this place in the evening, we would love to come stay here again in the future.

Niederlande Pur!

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Hans ist ein netter Gastgeber und die schnuckelige kleine Wohnung ist sehr gemütlich und ruhig. Und morgens kann man sogar die Schafe füttern ;-) Die Ferienwohnung ist optimal gelegen, um die umliegenden Städte, wie zum Beispiel Amsterdam, Den Haag oder auch Leiden (unser Geheimtipp), zu besuchen. Es war toll und wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Vaarwel :-)
