In the old stable of this farmhouse, from 1914, the landlords have created a nature house. The nature house consists of a spacious room/kitchen of 42 m², equipped with underfloor heating, gas stove fridge/freezer, microwave, washing machine and WiFi. The large sitting area has a TV and an electric fireplace. There is also a dining table with six chairs. In the stable loft there are 2 double beds, a shower room, two rooms with sink and a second toilet. There is a covered terrace, equipped with fridge and barbecue, and a terrace with lounge set and large table. We would like to show you the farm and tell you about it, but the farm is not a children's playground! With us on the farm, it is possible to dine boergondish, what the Pot schaft! Or a homemade drinks board. To be booked on the spot.
Nature and surroundings
The farm stands in Stolwijk, at the end of a cul-de-sac, in the middle of the meadows. Through characteristic country roads, many bicycle routes are possible to, for example, Schoonhoven, Oudewater and Gouda. By car you are within 30 minutes in Rotterdam, within 45 minutes in Utrecht or The Hague and within one hour in Amsterdam. Stolwijk in the Krimpenerwaard, fun in every season! Relaxed cycling & walking. An extensive network of cycling and hiking trails awaits you. The walking and cycling nodes make it easy to plan your getaway. There are more than 200 kilometers of routes on paved and unpaved paths. You can stop along the way at one of the many restaurants in the villages and towns or on the waterfront. You can still admire the many historic buildings: farms, churches, mills, pumping stations and water towers. For the children there are several bridges and huts to build and they can study fish and critters. Krimpenerwaard consists of eleven beautiful very different villages and towns. They are all fun to stroll through at your leisure. Meanwhile, take a look at the cozy stores, beautiful museums and galleries and catering establishments.

Klemens October 17, 2025 General rating:The main reason why it was such a pleasant visit was Andrea and John. They make you feel completely welcome and they are lovely people. You can do your own thing and if you feel like having a chat they are open to that, but it is not necessary. Andrea cooked delicious food twice. One time it was "what's on the plate" and the other time it was the Burgundian menu. Both times thoroughly enjoyed (the chicken from the barbecue was particularly delicious). The cottage has a cozy atmosphere and underneath is hidden modern technology. The underfloor heating in the living room and bathroom is powered by heat exchangers that draw heat from the cow's milk and from the ground. This feels comfortable and smart because the heat is reused.
De belangrijkste reden waarom het zo'n prettig bezoek was waren Andrea en John. Ze laten je helemaal welkom voelen en het zijn lieve mensen. Je kan je eigen gang gaan en als je zin hebt in een praatje dan staan ze daar voor open, maar het hoeft niet. Andrea heeft twee keer heerlijk gekookt. Eén keertje was het 'eten wat de pot schaft' en de andere keer was het bourgondisch menu. Beide keren volop genoten (de kip van de barbeque was bijzonder lekker). Het huisje heeft een gemoedelijke uitstraling en daaronder zit moderne techniek verstopt. De vloerverwarming in de woonkamer en in de badkamer wordt gevoed door warmtewisselaars die warmte uit de koe-melk en uit de grond halen. Dat voelt comfortabel en slim omdat de warmte hergebruikt wordt.
Nature, peace & environment:You're really out here. It's quiet. When you walk outside you don't hear any highways, for example, because this farm is so centrally located in the Krimpenerwaard. You see the meadows around you. The farm is on a cul-de-sac, so there is almost no traffic passing by. Because the nature house is part of a farm, you sometimes hear farm sounds, such as the milking of the cows. I liked that because it also makes you feel a little part of farm life. The cottage felt spacious to me, including upstairs because of the high roof near the sleeping area and the windows that bring light from upstairs to downstairs. I did a lot of biking in the area. The nature is varied including a beautiful route along the Vlist, a great stretch of cycling with wide views along the Lek, the nature reserve the Loet, combined with the old polders.
Je bent er echt even uit hier. Het is rustig. Als je buiten loopt hoor je bijvoorbeeld geen snelwegen, omdat deze boerderij zo centraal in de Krimpenerwaard ligt. Je ziet de weilanden om je heen. De boerderij ligt aan een doodlopende weg, waardoor er bijna geen verkeer langs komt. Omdat het natuurhuisje onderdeel van een boerderij is, hoor je soms boerderij geluiden, zoals het melken van de koeien. Ik vond dat wel prettig omdat je je zo ook een beetje onderdeel voelt van het boerenleven. Het huisje voelde ruimtelijk voor mij, o.a. boven door het hoge dak bij het slaapgedeelte en de ramen die licht van boven naar de benedenverdieping brengen. Ik heb veel gefietst in de omgeving. De natuur is gevarieerd met o.a. een mooie route langs de Vlist, een groot stuk fietsen met weidse uitzichten langs de Lek, het natuurgebied de Loet, gecombineerd met de oude polders.

Nature, peace & environment:Very nice stay had very welcoming and during the stay the contact was relaxed and accessible. Possibly the inventory could be a bit more extensive but we managed just fine. Very nice that there was opportunity for a tour during the milking of the cows.
Erg fijn verblijf gehad zeer gastvrij ontvangen en tijdens het verblijf was het contact relaxed en toegankelijk. Mogelijk dat de inventaris wat uitgebreider kan maar we hebben ons prima gered.
Erg leuk dat er gelegenheid was voor een rondleiding tijdens het melken van de koeien.This text is automatically translated. -
Kasper April 25, 2025 General rating:Fine cottage between farm and cowshed, equipped with many conveniences and nice and spacious. Nice beds and good shower. Steep stairs could be an obstacle for people with mobility problems; best to ask the landlord.
Fijn huisje tussen boerderij en koeienstal, van veel gemakken voorzien en lekker ruim. Lekkere bedden en goede douche. Steile trap zou voor mensen die slecht ter been zijn wel een obstakel kunnen zijn; beste even navragen bij de verhuurder.
Nature, peace & environment:Delightful place on the farm, among the animals and agricultural vehicles. A paradise for children who love the outdoors.
Heerlijke plek op de boerderij, tussen de dieren en landbouwvoertuigen. Een paradijs voor kinderen die van buiten houden.
