Most people think of Amsterdam when they’re booking a break to The Netherlands, but the Frisian Islands just north shouldn't be overlooked. Travel to the village of De Cocksdorp for freshly-baked goods, restaurants, a steakhouse, and fast food joint – which you’ll find no more than a two-minute walk away from this welcoming home on Kikkerstraat. Aesthetically pleasing in subtle shades of cream, warm wood elements, and pops of colours, the inside is inviting, and with the addition of plenty of light, creates the ideal atmosphere for curling up in the one-seater with a book. As you cosy up, rest your stroopwafel on the rim of your coffee cup to let the syrup get properly gooey before tucking in – be warned though, it takes a lot of restraint not to eat the whole thing the instant it comes out of the packet. Start a puzzle of the tulip farms of The Netherlands on the kitchen table, watch movies together, play boardgames on the lounge floor, and enjoy meals alfresco. A thirteen-minute walk will get you to a shop where you can rent bicycles to take on the cycling trials around the area. Or you can simply explore the rich history of this 19th century town on two wheels as you check out the lighthouse, many churches, and cycle to the De Slufter nature reserve. There’s also golfing, the beach, and visits to the nearby towns of Den Burg and De Kroon.

About Netherlands
The famously laid-back nation of the Netherlands is the perfect place to relax and embrace cutting-edge culture on the same trip. The capital, Amsterdam, is filled with art galleries and world-class museums, from the endless halls of the Rijksmuseum to the Van Gogh Museum. Do as the Dutch do and explore the city by bike, pedalling alongside towering 18th-century townhouses, where the only hills you have to climb are the...
