About Property
On the river Lauwers, near the 'Green Coastal Route,' lies the Lauwerspleats, a historic head-neck-torso farmhouse with a thatched barn built in 1651 by monks of the nearby Girkesklooster. The farmhouse sits on its own mound, with limited accessibility for disabled guests. Guests can swim in the river year-round and use a rowing boat with motor for trips on the Lauwersmeer. Cycling enthusiasts have access to men's and women's touring bikes, and a special 'Danske Post' transport bike for picnics. The Lauwers area, known as the 'Camargue of the North,' features lakes, creeks, beaches, and forests, offering diverse flora and fauna. Birdwatchers will enjoy the spring and autumn migrations. Nearby ports include Lauwersoog, Dokkumer Nieuwe Zijlen, Oostmahorn, and Zoutkamp, while Dokkum is just 15 km away. Leeuwarden and Groningen are about 30 km from the house, both offering culture, history, and shopping. Day trips to Schiermonnikoog are possible from Lauwersoog. Bed linen is provided, and in winter the horses are stabled. This peaceful location is ideal for relaxing outdoors and enjoying the serene landscape.

The cottage is simple but complete. The hostess was very friendly and hospitable. Delightfully quiet and a good location for bike rides and outings. However, we did have a lot of trouble with mosquitoes. There was possibly a mosquito net available, but we heard about it too late; otherwise, we had a great time and enjoyed a lot of privacy.

The room is in a barn and is unfortunately very damp and full of spiders, mosquitoes and other insects. Of the two windows, only one opens and only about 30 cm. The furniture is old, the gas stove is broken and only works partially, the mattresses are saggy and the chairs are uncomfortable. To finish with something positive: the landlady was very nice and the surroundings were really beautiful. But we probably won't go there again.
