Klein Polderhuis 📍B&B in Roelofarendsveen, Zuid-Holland

Evert and Jacqueline van Abswoude live on the site of the former flower bulb nursery that Evert's grandfather started here more than 70 years ago. They designed and built both cottages themselves: the Tuinhuis in 2010 and the Bollenschuur in 2017. Large windows and French doors bring the outdoors in, even early or late in the year. The Tuinhuis is a loft for two: living room, kitchen and sleeping area in one space, with a spiral staircase up to the bed. The Bollenschuur is an upstairs apartment for four with two bedrooms and a wide view over the lake. Both cottages have a kitchen with induction hob, fridge, coffee maker and kettle, a seating area with TV, a bathroom with rain shower and separate toilet, central heating and electrically adjustable beds with Auping mattresses. Each cottage has a large private terrace with a lounge sofa and patio heater. The sunny garden looks out over the lake, and in summer you can swim from the private jetty. Bikes, wifi, bed linen and final cleaning are included, and parking at the house is free. Breakfast is not included. Roelofarendsveen is in the municipality of Kaag en Braassem, on many walking, boating and cycling routes. Keukenhof is 12 km away and Schiphol airport 17 km. Check-in from 3 pm to 8 pm (other times by arrangement), check-out until 11 am.
