ABOUT

Sleeping
The historic bedroom downstairs has a 180x200cm double bed, with a spacious bathroom with toilet, shower and washstand next to it.
The loft room upstairs has a 180x210 double bed and a 180x200 double bed, separated by a partition wall. There is a spacious walk-in shower and washstand.
Clean bed linen and a towel per person are provided.
Cooking
Our cosy kitchen has an electric range with oven, a fridge and a dishwasher, plus a Nespresso machine and a kettle.
The kitchen table is perfect for a leisurely breakfast, and just as good for a few hours of work.
Dining
The beautifully restored dining room, with its original box beds and carved woodwork, makes every dinner special. Past and present meet in this unique setting.
The antique chess table invites you to a game.
Courtyard
The small but lovely courtyard garden is very secluded and gets plenty of afternoon sun, so it is already pleasantly warm in early spring and late autumn.
There is a cosy seating area, a good gas pizza oven and a small barbecue. And for water sports fans, the SUP board is ready to go!
Relaxing
The bright, spacious loft has a hang-out area to unwind. There is a flat-screen TV with Ziggo and you can play music on the Sonos system.
For children there are toys and comics.
Location
Silhûs is in the heart of the lively water sports village of Woudsend. This charming village has several listed buildings, including 2 beautiful windmills that still work.
There are several good restaurants and cafés, and the supermarket is open 365 days a year.
Surroundings
A 30-metre walk from the house is Woudsend's busy waterway. In season (May to September) it is a constant coming and going of boats and people.
Near the village you can take a dip at a lovely little beach, and the Frisian lakes are right around the corner.
Shopping
The village has several nice little shops, including a bookshop, an antiques shop, a florist, an off-licence and a bakery. In the summer months there is a weekly farmers' market.
There is always something going on in season, and outside it Woudsend organises plenty too.
Food & drink
Woudsend is a lively village with plenty of places to eat and drink. On the corner by the bridge is De Watersport, with a cosy terrace. At the marina you will find the café-restaurant De Pleats, which hosts lots of events. 't Ponkje is highly recommended: a wonderful dinner in a historic little church. And don't miss the fresh cooking at Vis en Meer.
In Balk, beach pavilion Badmeester Keimpe is a favourite, and Heeg and the historic town of Sloten are well worth a visit.
