‘In 2012 we decided to change course on our farm which dates back to the 17th century. We replaced the dairy cows with young cattle and sheep, leaving the old cowsheds to be converted into comfortable holiday homes. The accommodation “De Groene Hartelijkheid” was born.
Groen (Dutch for Green): because we live in the vast polder landscape, called “Het Groene Hart” (the Green Heart). “Hartelijkheid” (Dutch for heartiness): because it is essential to us that our guests feel at home on our farm.
See you soon!

Have breakfast at the picnic-table outside in the sunshine, watching the calves grazing in the meadow. Catch up on the events of the day while enjoying a glass of wine on the terrace. Relax on the couch while reading a book or watching a movie. Jump on the trampoline to your hearts content or take the cool go-karts for a spin across the playing field.
The accommodation De Groene Hartelijkheid offers everything not only for an enjoyable family holiday, but also for a family weekend or an outing with friends. Our Farmland Cottages are each suitable for six persons. In 2017 we will also be offering accommodation in our nostalgic gypsy cart.
