Read More...We enjoyed our stay in Meppel very much. It was a great base for exploring new places. Our highlights were the Planetarium in Franeker, a boat ride round the nature reserve at Giethoorn and of course the tulips at Keukenhof. We came home with lots of lovely cheese and many happy memories. Thank you, Hans and Yvonne.

Read More...Thank you Hans and Yvonne for sharing your traditional Dutch home with us. It was perfect for all our needs,including a lovely conservatory for the rainy days! It had excellent public transport links being only 5 minutes walk from the bus and train stations plus thank you for lending us your bikes......cycling in Holland is always such a pleasure. Meppel is a delightful town where all is easily accessed by foot from your home. We enjoyed your garden and the lovely park which the house overlooks. This house also has a secret advantage over any other previous exchanges........it is only 200m from a very well stocked fishing lake where David had the best fishing holiday EVER catching bream, carp and roach.

Read More...We had a good time in Meppel and were very comfortable. The house is peacefully situated by the park but easy walking into town as well. There's lots to do in the area - good walking on well made paths and without too many hills; interesting villages and towns with characterful buildings; visiting the dolmen throughout Drenthe and, of course, Westerbork. A trip over to Amsterdam was particularly special.
