The Pastorie is an absolutely beautiful place to stay (we stayed in The Pastoor, upstairs) with the kindest, warmest hosts! I cannot recommend it enough!
We were visiting Boven Leeuwen from the US seeking ancestral connections in the area and were greeted with unending kindness and assistance from the moment we arrived, from owner Anouk organizing a tour of the connected church and church records, to a tour of their own lovely space downstairs, an introduction to their family, and connections made to others in the village. We are enormously grateful for the generosity of Anouk and Cees and can’t wait to stay again at the Pastorie when we return to the area!
The space itself is clean, modern, and inviting with lots of creative details that both update and preserve the original. The living space of the Pastoor—once an attic—is now a complete home with two bedrooms, a high-quality and fully-equipped kitchen, and a large and comfortable living space. One visitor we brought up for coffee said, “Wow, I could live here!”.
If you’re looking for a place to stay in the area, consider the Pastorie your first and best option.
