Biologisch Landbouwbedrijf Ruimzicht in Wijk 00

The first encounter is one of great delight. What a magnificent garden. It looks like it stepped right out of the books of Anastasia (Vladimir Megre). Beautifully blooming flowers and plants, accompanied by a delightful buzzing of bees and other insects, along with wonderful scents. A true refreshment for oneself. A first introduction to the lady of the house, accompanied by coffee. Afterwards, a short tour. The two construction cabins. One was furnished with a table and four chairs. Essentially the breakfast room, where you could also spend time playing a game or reading. The temperature is warm now due to the sun. In the morning, however, it is quite chilly. The small electric heater barely added any real heating. In the garden, there are a number of spots with a small table and chairs. Great for sitting in pleasant weather. Then, a short distance away, is the shower/toilet area. The shower is nice and warm. Remember: there is NO TOILET in the sleeping cabin. So, if you feel the urge due to the cold and dampness, go outside with your phone on full power or use a flashlight. Be careful not to step on any snails. I found this very uncomfortable and a clear downside. A potty bucket might be useful. Spend 2 nights in a small construction trailer, furnished with 2 beds, one of which was made up. Also a chair and a wooden valet stand. It was hot upon first entering because the full sun was shining on it. During the night it cooled down considerably and was even cold. No heater. Not convenient. In the early morning, breakfast was served upon request, including coffee in my case. Too lukewarm because the coffee had been poured into a traditional Dutch earthenware coffee pot. A thermos with hot coffee would have been nicer. Upon request, the number of slices of bread, freshly squeezed orange juice, and a boiled egg. Additionally, fresh strawberries from the field. During the day, coffee with gingerbread and butter 2 to 3 times. The hostess proved to be hospitable. FINAL CONCLUSION: A fantastic garden. The hut is too cold at night, and the temperature can rise quite a bit during the day. The lack of a toilet and heating means I am only giving this location 3 stars. It is a very inconvenient location in the rain.

Delicious freshly picked mint tea with gingerbread. A lovely resting spot during the walk.

What a wonderfully relaxing atmosphere in the uncultivated garden. A lovely pot of mint tea, freshly picked by the lovely Truus, with a slice of gingerbread and a rice cake with fresh fruit... It was a wonderful moment of peace.
