Family-friendly holiday rentals in Franekeradeel

"De Gulle pracht" Holiday home, Friesland

Our cosy holiday cottage was originally an old stable that we (Caroline and Jan) converted together, with love and respect for the old details and materials, into this "Gulle Pracht". Via a private driveway with parking, you reach the terrace with the spacious garden, a lawn surrounded by tall trees, where it is lovely to spend time. Through the French doors, you enter the bright and cosy living room with its white old beams and a fully equipped open-plan kitchen. There is wireless internet available, TV and DVD. Because of the ceiling in the living room that has been removed, beautiful light falls in from the skylights and you have a view of the roof structure with the old round hoods. The beds are located on top of the two lofts. The comfortable double bed is accessed by an open staircase. On the other mezzanine, there is a 160-cm-wide mattress on the floor. This bed can only be accessed by agile guests via a ladder. It is not suitable for small children due to the risk of falling, but older children find it exciting to sleep there. Please note, the two lofts share the same large open space. Under the old beams, you can sleep peacefully, where only the sound of rustling trees, whistling birds or your deliciously snoring bedmate will be heard. The room is heated by central heating, but also only the wood-fired stove can heat the cottage comfortably. We will provide you with some wood to light a cosy fire. If necessary, you can buy additional bags from us. An old stable door in the living room leads to the bathroom with a beamed ceiling and underfloor heating. The bathroom has a good shower, double sink and toilet. With its inlaid mosaics and all kinds of funny and old details, this space is also a feast for the eyes. There are possibly two (old but good) bicycles available for a short ride to Harlingen. We, ourselves, live in the farmhouse which is in the same yard. We are available for help, information and advice for fun trips in our beautiful Friesland. Your holiday cottage and our farmhouse are separated by our garden and the large old barn, so we both have our own space and privacy. If the door to Caroline's pottery studio is open, you are always welcome to pop in and have a look around. Kimswerd, located on the Elfstedenroute, is a small, quiet and beautiful village where our Frisian hero "De Grutte Pier" was born and lived. He still watches over us, in petrified form, at the beginning of our little street, next to the centuries-old church, which is certainly also worth a visit. You can do your shopping in Harlingen, the supermarket is a fifteen minute bike ride away. The old port of Harlingen is 10 km from our cottage. Kimswerd is located just across the Afsluitdijk. From there, follow the signs N31 Harlingen/ Leeuwarden/Zurich and take the first exit at Kimswerd, 1st right at the traffic circle, 1st right again at the next traffic circle, straight ahead at the intersection, across the bridge and immediately take the first left (Jan Timmerstraat). At the beginning of this street, next to the church, stands the statue of Grutte Pier. We live in the farmhouse behind the church, Jan Timmerstraat 6, first wide gravel path on the right.

Sleeping with the sheep & a whole herd of horses.

Wake up to the view of the dining room of a herd of horses that live in freedom, 2 pigs who make their bed every night in front of the window and sometimes a sheep walks by. Closer to the pure things in life. There is therefore no Wi-Fi and no TV. There is a large table for playing games together and a lovely sofa for enjoying a glass of wine together. Making beautiful memories together! And even better, the first lambs will be born in early October!
