Neighbourhood
We have a great shopping street (with Saturday market) just a 10 minute walk away, the tram stop with direct trams to Delft, the beach and The Hague are also 10 minutes by foot. Or, can can choose to cycle everywhere using our bikes, as everything is within cycling distance!
There are several parks in our neighbourhood, with equipment for small children and also a football area for older children. We will mark these on a map for you so they are easy to find. You will also find a lovely petting farm, which is run by adults with a learning disability, with a nice play area. If the weather isn't great you can go to the indoor play area 'monkey town' for children from 0-12 years. All of these options are within a 10 minute cycle ride away.
It`s a 10 minute cycle to The Hague central station where you can park your bike in the bike garage and get trains to all the major cities - Amsterdam, Utrecht (well worth a visit!), Leiden (where the pilgrims stopped en route to America), Rotterdam, Haarlem and many more wonderful places to discover in this small country!
The Hague has a lovely stretch of beach, but also a vibrant city centre with a mix of old buildings and new. The Dutch parliament is situated in The Hague and is a beautiful old building which you can walk through. There are also plenty of shops if you would like to spend a day shopping. There are restaurants a plenty and many lovely independent cafes where you can grab a coffee or drink a beer in the afternoon. If you want to go to the cinema The Hague has a few different options and most films are in English (Dutch subtitles).
If you enjoy museums then the Mauritshuis can not be missed. It displays many of the famous Dutch artists paintings from the Golden Era and of course the famous `Girl with the Pearl Earring` is housed there. There is plenty to do and see!
We are also conveniently located for cycling to Delft (25 minute bike ride along the canal) where you can enjoy the beautiful old buildings, walk in Vermeer's footsteps and of course visit the Delft blue factory!
We would love to welcome you in our home and help you to discover and enjoy this country!
