About this property

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.

Amazing, convenient, and relaxing

We loved our stay at the Windmill Cottage! Hans was very helpful and welcoming, the cottage was very clean, big, and had everything we needed. The location is very convenient to other parts of Holland, and it was lovely biking in the area with bikes that we could easily and cheaply rent from Hans. The sunsets were amazing, and it was special to see ducks, swans, rabbits, and other animals in this quiet and beautiful area. If we come back to Holland, we will definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Stay

We came to see the tulip fields and absolutely loved this VRBO. This location was an easy 20-minute drive to Keukenhof. It was nice and quiet. There was a patio where you could relax and enjoy the views. Hans was very friendly and communicative and even arranged a last-minute tour of the windmill for us. Our kids loved the trampoline and the soccer play area. I highly recommend this location. Thank you Hans for such a wonderful stay.

Tolle Unterkunft, netter Gastgeber

Das Ferienhaus liegt wunderschön und ruhig in den Poldern, mit weiter Aussicht und ist nicht weit von Leiden entfernt. Die Unterkunft ist schön hell und sehr gemütlich eingerichtet. Hans ist ein super Gastgeber, der schnell auf alle Wünsche einging. Miete von Fahrrädern für die ganze Familie war bei ihm auch möglich. Einen Aufenthalt kann ich nur empfehlen.

Holland pur

Eine wunderbar gelegene Ferienwohnung, sehr ruhig, schön eingerichtet, alle Geräte für gutes Kochen vorhanden. Mit dem Fahrrad ist die nahegelegene Stadt Alphen gut zu erreichen und die idyllische Umgebung einschl. der Stadt Leiden gut zu erkunden. Die übrigen Städte (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Delft) und die Nordsee sind ebenso gut mit Auto und ÖPNV zu erreichen. Ein idealer Ort, Holland mit seiner bukolischen Landschaft und historischen und modernen Städten kennen zu lernen.
