Holiday home at the Kaagerplassen

Het huis is ingericht als loop je door de kringloopwinkel. De slaapzolder doet denken aan een jeugdherberg. Keukendoeken waren nieuw, zodat ze geen water op kunnen nemen: van drogen geen sprake, alleen vegen. Geen lusjes aan die doeken, geen haakjes om ze aan op te hangen. geen handdoek of zeep op het toilet. Er was te weinig wc papier, een minibodempje afwasmiddel. Zelf gekocht dan maar. Een ongelukkig en rommelig ingerichte keuken. Kortom: een fantastische ruimte die niet goed is ingericht en verbouwd, met name wat het sanitair en de keuken betreft, dát was het. Buitenterras: heerlijk. Fijne open haard. Voor gezinnen met kinderen ideaal, die kunnen er weinig kwaad, en hebben een geweldige speelruimte. Dan moeten de stukken en brokken aan speelgoed in de zijkantkasten op zolder wel weer compleet/hersteld worden, want ook dat was één grote rommelbende. Een betere sortering boeken is gewenst: dat is tegenwoordig toch niet zo moeilijk meer. Een onbegrijpelijk werkende TV: toelichting voor gebruik graag in de klapper toevoegen.

The house is decorated as if you were walking through a thrift store. The sleeping loft is reminiscent of a youth hostel. Kitchen towels were new, so they couldn't absorb water: no drying, just wiping. No loops on those cloths, no hooks to hang them on. no towel or soap in the toilet. There was not enough toilet paper and a small amount of washing up liquid. Just bought it yourself. An unhappy and messy kitchen. In short: a fantastic space that has not been properly furnished and renovated, especially as far as the sanitary facilities and the kitchen are concerned, that's what it was. Outside terrace: lovely. Nice fireplace. Ideal for families with children, they can do little harm and have a great play area. Then the bits and pieces of toys in the side cupboards in the attic will have to be completed/restored, because that too was one big mess. A better sorting of books is desirable: that is no longer so difficult these days. A TV that works incomprehensibly: please add an explanation for use in the brochure.

We had mixed experiences in the house. Using the ferry to reach the island of Kaag is really a nice experience and worked well. The house is very spacious with a lot of room. The WiFi worked perfectly, even on parts of the terrace. The house, the dishes, the kitchen were very clean and in good order. A lot of parking spaces are available directly at the house. On the more negative side: on arrival, we did not met or reach a person to hand over the house + key. We were not informed, that the key was available in a key save next to the entrance. Fortunately a lady from the neighborhood could help us. We think, it should be mentioned in the description, that depending on the direction of the wind, the house is located in the direct entry lane of Schiphol Airport, it´s really noise and annoying. Also the nearby dockyard was quite noisy from time to time. The nice view across the canal and the polder behind the house, which is visible on the pictures, was unfortunately blocked by 2 meter high water reed, thus the view was more against a green wall. Sunloungers were not there. The equipment in the kitchen like glasses, plates, etc. was not sufficient for a house, which is rented to 6 people. The bathroom only offers a very tiny washbasin and no power socket for hairdryer or shaver. But, after we got a bit used to this deficiencies, we really enjoyed our holiday on Kaag and in the house.
