What other groups did here

A wedding weekend where everyone stayed over

On Friday, we arrived with our own team to decorate. On Saturday, everyone arrived, loaded with luggage, because the entire group was staying overnight. After the ceremony, there was a reception at De Jister, which flowed seamlessly into a dinner and a party. The next morning, we had breakfast together. We also thought it was wonderful that we could use sailboats and sloops.

Drinks with fifty colleagues on a Wednesday afternoon

We wanted to hold a Friday afternoon drinks session with the staff club, but on a Wednesday. With fifty people, you don't get very far in a pub. Pean-buiten In Weidum, you sit on a beautiful terrace by the orchard, with great service and traditional Frisian snacks. Everyone is saying now: we have to do this again.

Team outing with traditional Dutch games and Frisian dishes

Our team outing was a great success. Plenty of parking and a charging station, ideal. We played traditional Dutch games and ate Frisian dishes, a real Frisian experience with incredibly delicious food. The staff were very helpful, and afterwards we heard nothing but good things from our colleagues.

Staff Association Friesland
Tenth wedding anniversary celebration with seventy guests

We celebrated our tenth wedding anniversary with seventy friends. The Frisians drove home in the evening, the rest slept in the tiny houses, just like everyone who enjoyed a drink. The service was fantastic, and right from the preparations, we felt understood. In ten years, we will be back here.

School camp on Pean-buiten Akkrum is highly recommended.

A school camp on Pean-buiten Akkrum is highly recommended. It is incredibly remote, which means we truly become a team with each other, with students and teachers. And the grounds are beautiful, offering a great deal of peace and depth. Fun for the students and certainly fun for the teachers as well.

Friends' weekend at De Berch, booked again immediately

Our friends' weekend at De Berch was fantastic again. We always have a nice mix of adults and children, and the grounds and building are excellent for that. We booked again immediately for next year.

Every year again with the sailing club in De Jister

We stayed at De Jister with our sailing club. It really is a wonderfully pleasant place for our club. The kitchen is good. The bedrooms are basic, but perfectly adequate. We really enjoy coming back here every year!

A solo retreat in the Frisian countryside

My me-time at Tiny Cabin. Wonderful. Total silence and time for myself with a beautiful view. I also cycled to Leeuwarden. Lovely city! And had a local Frisian meal at the living room café on the property. Highly recommended.
