    Beautiful spot. You look out over the pastures with cows and horses. We had a large bell tent. It’s a great place to stay with a family—2 adults + 2 kids. Crista and her husband go out of their way to make your stay as pleasant as possible. A nice 1.5-km walk along the water takes you to the village, where you can relax on a terrace. Canoes are … available all day, and you can also reserve your own rowboat. If you’re looking to truly unwind, this is the perfect spot.

    Mooie plek. Je kijkt uit over de weilanden met koeien en paarden. Wij hadden een grote bell tent. Hierin kan je goed met een gezin vertoeven. 2 volw + 2 kids. Crista en haar man doen er alles aan om het je zo aangenaam mogelijk te maken. Leuke wandeling van 1,5 km langs het water brengt je in het dorpje waar je gezellig een terrasje kunt pakken. Kano's zijn de gehele dag beschikbaar en je kan ook een eigen sloep reserveren. Als je heerlijk tot rust wilt komen ben je hier op het juiste plekkie.

    We had such a lovely stay. It’s a wonderful little escape from Amsterdam—peaceful, comfortable, and the perfect place to slow down and rest for a few days. We especially loved that we were able to bring our large dog, with us, which made the experience even better. Everything felt relaxed and well cared for, and we would happily come back.

    We stayed at Gert and Crista Diever’s farm from August 8 to August 15, 26. We stayed at Smûk Kreas and had everything we needed there. The wonderful, relaxing view over the fields and watching the animals was a dream. I’d recommend booking the Hottop to anyone. Really nice hosts on site. Tip: Don’t bring 100-euro bills to the Netherlands, as most … stores there don’t accept them. Gert Diever was kind enough to break them down into 50-euro bills for me. We felt really at home there and will definitely be back.

    Wir waren vom 08.08. bis zum 15.08.26 auf dem Hof von Gert und Crista Diever. Wir hausten in Smûk Kreas und hatten dort wirklich alles was wir brauchten. Die herrliche entspannte Aussicht über das Feld und die Tiere zu beobachten war ein Traum. Den Hottop zu buchen würde ich jedem empfehlen. Wirklich nette Gastgeber vor Ort. Tipp: in den Niederlanden keine 100 Euro Scheine mitnehmen. Da diese dort in den Geschäften überwiegend nicht angenommen werden. Gert Diever war so nett und hat Sie mir in 50er gewechselt.Wir haben uns dort wirklich wohl gefühlt und kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.
