A beautiful setting in an affluent, serene area of Sassenheim. We had the Loft apartment at the side of the house, opposite an ancient ruined castle, overlooking a quiet waterway. Cosy, romantic and cottage-like. A private (if teeny) sauna & toilet on entering the front door. At the top a little kitchenette with French doors onto a small sun terrace over the canal. Room to lay outside on loungers when sunny, or just sit and relax. Very private, quiet and calm. A large bed squeezed into a space opposite a basin & shower. Cosy, quiet & comfortable, with Netflix freely available. Annemiek, the owner, was just lovely. We hired the (top quality) e-bikes for 2 days which were excellent, well worth paying 3x the cost of ‘City bikes’ and made hilly coastal dune cycling against gale winds a piece of cake. The bikes virtually rode themselves!

Loo downstairs and no basin there, (instead of being with the basin & shower up in the Loft space). Impractical, esp. at night, bearing in mind the ‘child-sized’, extremely narrow, spiral staircase up to the Loft space. We are ‘ladies of a certain age’+ but very fit, agile & slim. Not easy to get airline / cabin sized backpacks up & down this. Guests would struggle to reach the Loft space if not super agile & slimly built, or if taller than 5ft 7”. Hand basin tiny, with eaved roof sloping inwards above it meant heads constantly hitting this! Just about useable, but water gets all over basin area. Other than these issues, we loved it!

It was an amazing stay. Breakfast was plentiful and there are instructions on how to prepare it. Lodge was beautiful, comfortable and peaceful. Plus, it was close to all the tulip fields - which was a bonus for me! Amazing hostess - thanks Annemiek! 🙂

Everything about this place was amazing. The bed was huge and comfortable. The shower was huge and great water pressure. The view from the Loft was outstanding. Best was the location. So close to everything. We love this place. The hosts were fantastic. We will book again.

Nothing I didn't like. Only note is if you are not a smaller, agile person, book The Lodge as the stairs to get to the Loft are tight and steep. I had no issue but bigger people might.

Located in an adorable and walkable little village, gracious hosts, knockout accommodations. Could not stop taking pics of the whole place because it was so amazing.

Wish their was an easier way to order breakfast than through WhatsApp. Maybe an order card or something.

The view of the castle was amazing! The room was super clean and we really enjoyed the breakfast as well. The hosts communicated very clearly with us.

Nothing, we had a perfect stay.

The bed was very comfy, and the mattresses had 2 different firmnesses to choose from. The shower was very nice, but do note that the wc has no door; however, it is tucked away discreetly in the open plan living arrangement. Location is lovely overlooking the water and the ruins of the local castle ! Plenty of coffee available for the Nespresso as well as welcome drinks and some milk! The standard of decor and finish is very high! Sauna is big enough for 2, and during warm months, you have air conditioning. Real plants finish the whole look of this wonderful place.

There is no on-site parking. There is plenty of free parking on the street, however not being able to have sight of your car when abroad could pose a problem for some. For the money charged I would say a parking space can be expected.

Fabulous private location in a lovely part of The Netherlands. Every detail of the Lodge was well-planned with high-quality materials. A cozy beautiful place! The breakfast was amazing!

That it is so far away from where we live! A long journey to stay there! Great memories!

Hosts are awesome. Information provided ahead of time and during our stay was very helpful. Space was well appointed and as described. Good location to explore the surrounding areas

VG for both
