We would like to introduce ourselves as host and hostess of ‘Het Tegenlicht'. We, Jan and Heleen, moved to Grolloo in 2007. We immediately felt at home in Grolloo. We said óh and áh when we saw the environment, the peace and quiet and the space. We also enjoyed the people surrounding us. People with time and respect for each other. Here you find 'Naoberschap' (being a good neighbour) in every day life. Together they build their lives.
We would like to share this way of stress less living in an open and positive atmosphere with other people. We know, with together 7 daughters, how difficult it can be to raise children in this busy and demanding society and how stifling the stress of work, making money and proving yourself can be. That is why we like to offer people the possibility to relax and find new energy.

We started slowly with decorating one room for the bed and breakfast. De room is called ´de Vlierbes´ (elderberry). Much to our surprise there is a growing demand for bed and breakfast. That is why we decided to use the possibilities of our home optimally and to adapt our house in such a way to welcome as many guests as possible. And we are proud of the result.
Except for the fore mentioned double room ‘De Vlierbes' we decorated another double room with the name 'De Walnoot' (Walnut).
The bathroom is totally renovated. For music lovers we built in a radio and cd player. The toilet we took out of the bathroom and is now separated. And, not to be forgotten: there is a infrared sauna and a rain shower. Wouldn't it be lovely to use those after a hike or bicycle tour?

Of course we could tell you so much more about ‘Het Tegenlicht' and all the possibilities. We would like to invite you to go on a virtual exploration tour or to make an appointment with us. While enjoying a cup of coffee or tea we can show you around and answer all of your questions.

With warmest regards from ‘Het Tegenlicht',
Jan and Heleen
