Your host

I’m Bart van der Grinten, retired and active. When we started renting out the Tuinhuis ten years ago, there were two of us; in the past we often spent holidays at near Lauwersmeer and eventuele we settled here permanently. Now it’s just me, but I continue to run the Tuinhuis with great pleasure, but without a breakfast service.

I love the sea, the tranquility of the region and its starry skies, but also the proximity of the bubbling city of Groningen with all its amenities. I like to walk with my dog Kiba and to cycle around rural Groningen and Friesland. I like to walk with my dog Kiba and to cycle around rural Groningen, Friesland and Drenthe.

I enjoy introducing people to this area that I’m still so enthusiastic about.
