The combination of atmosphere, location and conveniences make it a unique location.

In fact, our loft is located in the back house of the former steam printing works Kock & Knuttel and is a romantic and practical place from which to explore Gouda and its surroundings.

Our house consists of a front and back house. The attic of the back house is a beautiful space of about 40m2, with original beams, lots of light and an intimate atmosphere. There is a sleeping area, a living area with dining table and a simple but well-equipped kitchen (cooker, magenetron, coffee machine, fridge etc). The pretty bathroom has a rain shower, sink and toilet. Besides a double bed, there is also a sofa bed. The beds can be made up with either single or double duvets.

Guest access

Through the monumental hallway and a corridor, you reach the private entrance to the loft.

Interaction with guests

We also live in the canal house ourselves. But because the property has two stairwells, guests and ourselves have plenty of privacy. On the ground floor, we might run into each other. We find this an advantage because it gives guests the opportunity to easily ask questions and we can give tips and information about Gouda and its surroundings if desired.
