The Kraggehof | charming family & retreat home

Welcome to our family home "De Kraggehof", Nested in Belt-Schutsloot (close to Giethoorn), one of the less touristy places in the magical nature reserve 'the Weerribben-Wieden'. You feel immediately at ease upon arrival, due to the serenity of the environment and the inviting comfort of our farmhouse. We recently renovated the entire place to meet modern day standards of living, without loosing the historical touches of its rich history. We look forward to hosting you! The farm generally has a lot of open spaces, connecting the kitchen with both the dining area and the living room, which in turn is connected to the garden and its various setups (including two sunny terraces with large tables, plenty of chairs, a comfortable loungeset, a kamado bbq, and a kids play area). All bedrooms and bathrooms are clean and stylishly renovated, providing for a comfortable and pleasant stay for various types of groups. Such as families with (young) children, or (company) retreats. As our guests you will have access to the entire usable area of the farm and its living quarters, accessible through the main entrance in front or the garden in the back. There are several comfortable terraces and corners in the garden with plenty of seats, two large outdoor dining tables and a children's playground. Connected to this main part of the farm is also another smaller part of the farm where we oftentimes stay ourselves with our family, however these spaces are not directly accessible from one to the other so we won't be in each other space. There will be always someone available to help out with anything prior, during, and after you stay. Getting around is easiest by car, and there is plenty of parking space on or surrounding the property. If you prefer to travel by public transport Meppel station is the best option and only 14 minutes driving distance. We can always provide you with a taxi number. We hope you will truly enjoy your stay at the Kraggehof when visiting, and that you are as amazed as we are every time you walk the 'Schutsloterpad' to the 'Waterlelie' restaurant at the lake, strolling across the many little bridges alongside the impeccably kept gardens, wondering about different times..

Great for hosting a large family

Very tasteful and modern decoration. Three separate spaces for different family groups. Well located in a cute village with walking paths along the canals. Restaurants, bike rental and boat rental within walking distance. Easy drive to Giethoorn, the “Dutch Venice”. Located within an area of natural beauty with plenty of outdoor activities with a nice home to gather for large family dinners.

Ruhige Lage, empfindliche Nachbarn

Wir waren vom 01.05.-04.05. mit 14 Personen im Kraggehof. Das Haus ist großräumig und gut ausgestattet, die Schlafzimmer einfach, aber gemütlich, die Terasse im Garten mit Blick auf die Grachten ein absolutes Highlight. Rundum eine tolle Unterkunft - sollte man zumindest meinen. Denn das Problem in dieser idyllischen Lage sind die Nachbarn! Beschwerden aufgrund von Lärmbelästigungen gingen bereits um 18 Uhr ein und folgten sodann beinahe stündlich über alle erdenklichen Kommunikationskanäle (via FeWo, per WhatsApp und Anruf). Letztlich wurde uns sogar das Musikhören auf Zimmerlautstärke (!) verboten und wurden dem Garten verwiesen - ein absoluter Stimmungskiller!! Und wenn man ein Haus für 14 Personen vermietet, sollten die Nachbarn mindestens auch so verständnisvoll und tolerant sein und verstehen, dass 14 Personen alleine durch Gespräche, Gesellschaftsspiele, Geschirr-Geklapper uÄ automatisch Lärm verursachen. Lärmverursachen verursachen.

Beautiful house in lovely rural location

Tolles, sehr schönes Haus, idyllisch gelegen direkt an einer Gracht. Sehr schön und sehr geschmackvoll renoviert und gut ausgestattet. Gut geeignet für größere Gruppen aller Altersklassen. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, wenn das Wetter mitspielte , konnte man herrlich in den verschiedenen Sitzecken im Garten relaxen. Der Aussenbereich würde von ein bisschen mehr maintenance profitieren. Alles in allem ein herrliches Haus welches wir weiterempfehlen können.
