Something about the weather you can expect

The weather in the Netherlands is very mild and you should not expect any extremely warm or extremely cold temperatures. Usually, the summer can have a week or two that can be great for a hot beach day but those are fairly rare compared to some of the warmer countries in the continent.

You can expect precipitation in the form of rain all year round. Even though generally speaking the Netherlands has some bad reputation on the weather in regard to the rainfall, the rain barely ever barely holds out for more than an hour and you will see the sunshine again very soon.

Winters are fairly mild as well and temperatures do not drop to freezing. This could be argued since the wind can sometimes make it feel like it is a tad colder than it actually is, but a good jacket will make sure you are well equipped. Your private cottage will also be equipped for any weather that can be expected in the Netherlands so you should not worry about this at all. What are you waiting for?
