Le fait de pouvoir loger dans un moulin aux Pays-Bas est une experience a ne pas manquer. Non seulement, le moulin a tout le comfort pour rendre votre sejour agreable, mais aussi c'est dans un cadre magnifique.
This was an amazing country side windmill experience. Surrounded by river and canals. Cows, goats, and sheep right out the door. Maarten is wonderful. He had everything beautifully ready for us. Even early check in so accommodating. He even started up the windmill for us. He kindly drove us to the train depot. Short bike ride into quaint Abcoude. Super cool little town. Rode to the next town over Driemond. Ate at Tante Bep wonderfully friendly atmosphere. Love the owner. Everyone is so very friendly and kind. Beyond a dream come true and wanderlust of Abcoute. Thank you Maarten. Cheers Patty and Douglas
What a wonderful opportunity to stay in a historic working windmill! We will never forget this experience! So grateful we found this gem. Everything was perfect!
Wir waren im Januar mit 5 Erwachsenen und einem 11 jĂ€hrigen Kind ĂŒbers Wochenende dort und waren alle beeindruckt und begeistert. Ein ganz besonderes und einmaliges Erlebnis in einer noch aktive WindmĂŒhle zu wohnen. Am Sonntag durften wir sie Dank des schönen Wetters sogar noch in Aktion bewundern, was nochmal ein Highlight fĂŒr uns war. Sehr netter Gastgeber und alles verlief entspannt und völlig unkompliziert. Gerne wieder!
It was so charming. Kitchen and living space on main floor. 2 bathrooms. Master suite on the third floor. Lots of ladders, so must be able to climb! The countryside was gorgoeus. They were fixing the blade of mill when we were there so we didnt get to see it run. Did not affect our opinion. Charming town, Great bars and food. Maarten was a gracious host. We had everything we needed including bikes to ride to the city.
I'm not sure I can do this property justice. The charm of this windmill is unmatched by any place I have ever stayed. Every time I walked to another room or opened another door there was something incredibly authentic and interesting to look at. The location of this property is also unmatched. From the goats to the horses, donkeys and cows. It was a countryside wonderland. I would be remiss if I didn't acknowledge the host. He was beyond accommodating and communicative. If I could give this place 10 stars I would.
Highly recommend!! Maartan is a fantastic host and the mill is a once in a lifetime opportunity. The connection with Mondrian was amazing and the whole village was outstanding. Wonderful stay!!
How amazing to stay in a real working windmill! The mill itself is cozy and comfortable inside. Two toilet rooms (one on first floor, one on second) and one bathroom with shower/tub and two sinks. The outdoor space is so lovely- gorgeous view, goats and sheep nearby, beautiful canals. This is the mill Mondrian painted- how special! See one of the paintings in the Rijkmuseum when you visit. Lovely cycle into town. The kitchen doesnât have space for an oven (which was totally ok, just didnât plan for it), and we still easily cooked some nice meals. Dishwasher was a plus! Washer dryer combo worked perfectly. Our three boys had so much fun in the outdoor space. We were so lucky to have Maartenâs lovely daughter come show us how the mill works. Robert (who cares for the goats next door) is the kindest person in the Netherlands and let our kiddos help him with the goats one evening. Weâll remember our stay always!
We only were able to stay for a single evening, but it was an experience we will not forget. The place is beautiful and how often do you get to stay in a windmill? Maarteen is incredibly helpful and was a welcoming host. We are incredibly thankful to have had the opportunity to visit this unique accommodation.
This was a fantastic Dutch experience. Great location to bike and Abcoude was fun to explore. We recommend Ollie's and Acqua Farina. We rented a car so we could visit other areas and go into town for groceries. The train station was very convenient. Staying in a windmill like everyone else mentions...truly a unique experience. Our host was very responsive and easy to communicate with.
My family and I (two tween boys) had a wonderful few days in Abcoude in the windmill. The pictures are true to life so we felt we already knew the place when we arrived. Maarten was wonderful to deal with it was a huge bonus for him to have bikes available for us to use. We went on bike rides into town every day! We would highly recommend the windmill for a few days outside of Amsterdam.
This is truly magical experience. Only about 25 minutes from Amsterdam and you are staying in a beautiful windmill in a serene location. Marteen the host was kind and responsive. An experience you have never had. You do need to be comfortable climbing very steep stairs. The goats and sheep are very cute. Great place for a family to chill and reconnect. Five of us fit great. The beds were super comfortable. If you want a unique Dutch experience this is it.
The windmill and Abcoude were absolutely what we were looking for in our stay in the Netherlands. The windmill was 100% as advertised, and I agree with Maarten that you should not over plan your stay because Abcoude and the countryside around the windmill offer so very much to do and explore. We especially liked Anna Haen and Jasmyn (we had amazing meals at both). The people were incredibly friendly, and the town itself was both quaint and welcoming. For a good morning coffee and delicious breakfast donât forget to go to Ollies the American pancakes were especially delicious (served with real maple syrup!).
I canât say enough, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely come back!
If youâve ever dreamed of staying in a windmill surrounded by farm fields with sheep/goats/cows and more this is the place!
Close to a wonderful town with great pre made food from gourmet type shops and restaurants, so eat out or bring food back and watch sunset at the windmill at the outdoor table as we did.
Thatched roof, well appointed and cozy inside - we will hopefully be back!
My family and I loved this property! Such a charming town and unique way of experiencing Amsterdam. Peaceful surroundings and the windmill had everything you could need to be comfortable. Maarten was very responsive during our stay, even helping us get a doctorâs appointment in town. We traveled to four countries during our European vacation and our family all agree that this was our favorite part.
The Windmill was a fantastic and unique stay. After a few days in Paris our family loved coming to the calmness of the wide open country and the windmill was a very cool experience. Maarten was always available to answer any questions and kept a phenomenal house.
