Apple Tree Cottage - charming home at beautiful canal in our idyllic garden

Quiet accommodation in a convenient and beautiful location. Just the right amount of equipment and comfort. Fabulous, friendly hosts.

Een plankje in de doucheruimte.

Ottima posizione centrale. Abbiamo soggiornato in coppia per tre notti Comoda per vedere Utrecht, L'Aia e i mulini kinderdijk

De locatie, de gastvrijheid en communicatie. Prachtige tuin en heerlijk huisje. Gebruik fietsen, comfort, het vierde als thuis.

Weinig tot niets, alleen dat de warmte wat blijft hangen op de slaapkamer.

A beautiful cottage in the heart of Gouda. We received a very warm welcome and full tour of the cottage on arrival. It is set in a peaceful courtyard, which would have been lovely to sit and enjoy if the weather had been warmer and drier. The cottage has all you could want for a stay in Gouda, with a supermarket on the main square only a 5 minute walk away (if that). We were able to keep our bikes safely in the courtyard too.

Absolutely nothing. It’s great.

A wonderful location in the heart of Gouda, very close to its historic center. The cottage is cozy and perfect for two.

De lieve host, de hulpvaardigheid, en de ligging inclusief de rust!

Had graag wat meer kussens gehad, maar heb heerlijk geslapen!

As soon as you step through the threshold of THE APPLE TREE COTTAGE, time seems to stand still. It's a rare heaven where the light dances beautifully through the branches and every detail seems to have been thoughtfully chosen. We were soothed by the serenity of the garden and the authentic charm of this house which tells a story. Between breakfast as nature awakens and a peaceful evening, this stay was pure poetry. A precious address that you'd like to keep secret while simultaneously wanting to share it with the world. Thank you Jos and Marleen for this moment of pure bliss.

It’s great having the whole cottage (even though it’s only one up - one down). Lovely and snug and tucked away from the road. The bed is very comfortable. The bathroom is excellent. The kitchen facilities are fine although we didn’t really use them. It was clean and well equipped. Jos is a lovely host.

Bookers need to be aware that the stairs are very steep (like in many Dutch houses).

Gezelligheid en locatie van het huisje

La localisation, la gentillesse de Marleen

Rien

Tolle Lage, außergewöhnlich hilfsbereiter und fürsorglicher Gastgeber, sehr ansprechende, geschmackvolle Einrichtung. Gutes Bett. TV mit Netflix.

Im Winter etwas fußkalt, eine Couch wäre gemütlich. Elektroheizung schwerfällig. Zeitschaltuhr zum Stromsparend wäre hilfreich.

Ein wunderschönes kleines Haus, in dem wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt haben. Sehr nette und freundliche Gastgeber. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Apple tree Cottage is so cute and in a great location to discover Gouda. Marleen and Jos were so friendly and helpful and great hosts.

De locatie was super en Een heel knus huisje in een binnen tuin

Centraal gelegen en erg knus

Location, along a canal near in the old centre of Gouda and also near the train and bus station.an opportunity to spend some time in a characterful cottage in a lovely garden that can be used by the guests. A very comfortable bed, tasteful decoration.

There was a bit of a drain smell in the shower room, but not in the rest of the cottage.

Idéalement placé au coeur de Gouda dans une magnifique rue

Parfait pour visiter la magnifique ville de Gouda. Tout est à moins de 5-10 minutes de marche. 10 jours au Pays-Bas, Gouda fut notre ville préféré. Prenez au moins 2 nuitées.

Le stationnement est cher mais on est au Pays-Bas... Là-bas, ils ont compris que la voiture n'a pas sa place dans une ville. Ce que je comprends très bien 🙂

Havre de paix magnifiquement entretenu par des hôtes sympathiques.

Rien.

Rustig gelegen, smaakvol ingericht huisje.

This is one of the warmest and coziest places we've ever stayed at! Everything was just perfect — from the host’s heartfelt hospitality to every corner of this charming home. The atmosphere is truly special: a feeling of peace, comfort, and care surrounds you from the very first moment. The location is ideal — right in the heart of Gouda, with a magical garden that’s a joy to spend time in. The town itself is full of character and truly reflects the spirit of the Netherlands — and this place is just perfect to enjoy it fully. Staying here feels like being at home. We left with warmth in our hearts and already know we’d love to come back. A huge thank you to the host for such a wonderful experience!

Die gute Lage. Ruhig und romantisch. Parkplatz an der Strasse beim Kanal zu einem Tagespreis von € 22.50.

Sehr nette und hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Tolle Lage mitten in der Stadt und trotzdem ruhig.

The perfect location in Gouda, close to the train station and the market square, but on a quiet street where you can hear the birds chirping in the morning in the secluded garden.

There was one mighty mosquito who managed to get in and be a nuisance at night.

Perfect location,lovely garden and very quite!

The kitchen is well equipped. The bed is comfortable.

The cottage is super nice, in the center of the town near restaurants, the supermarket and everything you might need. The hosts are very friendly and extremely helpful.

The hosts were congenial, the place extremely comfortable and the location perfect.

Just as advertised, Apple Tree Cottage is a lovely little home in a gorgeous location. We had everything we needed for a great stay. Jos & Marleen were friendly, welcoming and had lots of local knowledge to share too.

Nice quiet location very close to central Gouda. Easy walking to restaurants, shopping and history. The host was very nice and provided suggestions for some things to see and do around the area.

Absolutely fabulous for an original stay in Gouda centre

Gorgeous accommodation in quiet but central location with super friendly and helpful hosts. Would recommend 100%!

The Apple Tree Cottage was a beautiful, comfy place. The interior is appointed with many unique and special items throughout. The garden is lovely with pieces of art and birdhouses. I can only imagine how lovely it must be in full bloom!

Peaceful and shipshape cottage with a nice garden. Very helpful and nice hosts. Fully equipped kitchen.

Apple Tree Cottage is idyllic. A period property, loving restored in a beautiful courtyard garden. The property has everything you need and was spotlessly clean. It’s a peaceful spot, with a canal to the front and, just a short walk into the centre, where you can find all the fabulous things Gouda has to offer. The hosts were amazing and went above and beyond to help with the loan of a child’s bike for our daughter to use. There if you need them, but not intrusive.

There was nothing we disliked!

Everything was wonderful. Jos & Marleen are excellent hosts and the cottage is in a gorgeous setting and a great location in Gouda! It is fitted with everything you'll need and more, especially if you plan to cook for yourselves. Definitely look no further for a cozy and relaxing stay in historic Gouda!

Location is great and the cottage is super charming. Host was very accommodating regarding check in time.

This is a lovely little cottage in a peaceful garden yet close to the centre of Gouda. We were very comfortable and had everything we needed. The hosts Jos and Marlene are very friendly and welcoming. We had a wonderful time there and would definitely recommend.

There was nothing at all to complain about

location

We would prefer the bathroom on the same floor as the bedroom

Delighted with our stay at Apple Tree Cottage. The owners made us very welcome. So central to the attractions of Gouda also.

The cottage had everything you could possibly need in a lovely central location with fantastic hosts. The garden was also beautiful.

Beatuful place in a perfect location, few steps away from the Gouda centre, very friendly owners, safe from random people, very close convenient parking, very comfortable beds

Beautiful cottage in a great location with excellent transport links to the rest of the country. The hosts were very friendly and communicative and had also left guides to locations all over the Netherlands within the property, the 3 hour walking guide to Gouda is especially good . The property was a very pleasant place to relax and unwind at the end of the day and the town of Gouda itself is a lovely place to wander with a good museum and several nice cafes

everything was great

Everything was great.

Perfect location. Quaint. Cottage comfortable and had everything we needed.

Confortable, clean, well located with excellent host.

It’s a really lovely cottage made with taste and soul. We had a very short stay but felt very good there. Bedroom is spacious, the bed is superbig and comfy.. The garden also have a special athmospehere. Hosts are welcoming and flexible.

We tremendously enjoyed our time in the Apple Tree. Great location, cute little house. We were unfortunately visiting in December and rainy weather so we could not enjoy the lovely garden. The hosts are particularly lovely and attentive. We will stay there again in a heartbeat.

Location. Hosts. Great little house and garden. Relaxation

Excellent location in one of the city's many beautiful streets, with a lovely garden, and very close to the station, shops and restaurants etc.

The location, the hosts, the cleanliness, I could go on... Lovely little house.

Stairs were tricky with a toddler, but what can you expect in Holland!?

Great host and a very charming house. Location is excellent. Beautiful and cozy outdoor area.

Beautiful setting in a private garden in the centre of an exceptionally beautiful Dutch town. Very well equipped and with personal service from the landlords who lived in the house.

Steep stairs which need great care in the middle of the night when needing the bathroom.

location, friendly welcome, beautiful garden, had everything you need for a holiday (and more besides)

we would have preferred slightly larger towels but this is a minor complaint, as everything about the place was great

Cute little house in the center of Gouda. Wonderful host.

located right at the centre of the city. easy access to shops, restaurants and Q park.

there’s nothing that I personally don’t like, but it would be a bonus if there is a thicker mattress for my daughter’s baby travel bed.

Everything is amazing in this cottage and it is highly recomended

friendly greeting, and everything we needed was right there. very accommodating!

What a beautiful, secluded and genuinely restful place, tucked away in a warm and friendly market town. The cottage is clean, comfortable, cosy and very quickly feels like home. Needs have been carefully thought about and provided for.The charming garden provides private space to sit outside. Clear and timely directions to the cottage (10 minutes walk from the railway station) were given and from that point on you felt there was kind and generous help and support if you needed it from the warm and friendly hosts.

Nothing. We are certainly intending and hoping to return.

The location was great, close to sight seeing, shopping, rental bikes and the train station was close by. Enjoyed just walking around the neighborhood and exploring the surrounding area on bikes! A very relaxing stay, would of loved to stay longer! The hosts were friendly and accommodating!

A lovely quiet garden house.

in the centre of Gouda but secluded, absolutely delightful, lovely friendly personal welcome, great local advice and good communication before arriving, we did not want to leave, ate supper and breakfast under the charming apple tree

it was perfect , our only sadness was leaving it to cycle to Europort

the cottage is super full of what we need and the garden is marvelous

We have travelled t0 74 countries in the world, and undoubtedly, this is one of the best properties we have stayed till day.

A beautiful property, the garden was great, and the kitchen well stocked. Jos and Marleen were great hosts they were helpful and hospitable we had a wonderful stay here

A beautiful peaceful place to stay in Gouda yet very central and easy to get to places. Jos couldn't have been more helpful. Highly recommend.
