Welcome to the perfect family home in the Dutch countryside. Serene and picturesque, the cosy abode is surrounded by natural beauty – a beach, lake and forest are all a short drive away. The lake can even be reached easily on foot in just a few minutes, providing an idyllic setting for wholesome walks and sunset picnics.

On the warm, sunny afternoons, head to the sleepy vibes of the beach. Bring snacks, drinks and towels for a day of swimming, sunbathing and sampling the local food. It's a dream spot for families looking for a restful day in the sun.

For a more active day, the beautiful walking and cycling trails of the forest are just moments away by car. Explore the diverse landscape on two feet or two wheels – whichever way you travel, make sure to snap pictures of the gorgeous scenery.

After a day of exploration or sunbathing, rest at the peaceful privacy of the home. A luscious garden is a dreamy spot to relax in the sun or jump around on the trampoline. In the evenings, gather on the cute terrace table for a touch of alfresco dining.

Home truths:
* Youth groups under 25 aren't permitted to book the home, but children with parents are welcome
* The home is in a residential area so the host asks to be respectful of noise at night
* The shops, banks and ATM's are a twenty-minute walk away
