Thank you very much!
The property feels secluded, and is very quiet. The location is also ideal, with ample free parking on the street...something that is very rare in the Netherlands. It is a short distance (5 min walk) to the Spar grocery store, which keeps odd hours (3pm-6pm on Sunday), so plan ahead if you need something, or go into the town square to enjoy one of the many upmarket restaurants with a variety of quality fare.
Wil and Ed are wonderful hosts who are very knowledgable about the area, and multilingual in first world languages. Breakfast is very solid, and great value, but you need to book it before, especially during low season. This after all is a cozy bed and breakfast, not a hotel.
Wifi is free, fast enough for streaming Netflix in 1080p, and there is ethernet in some of the rooms if that is important to you. The room we had had a new tv and selection of cable channels, including BBC and Eurosport. A lot of Dutch programming is in English with subtitles, so if you speak first world like us, you will be able to stay on top of whatever reality shows America is putting out these days, and other goings on in the Netherlands.
Laundry service is available for a very reasonable fee. Inquiry before about turnaround time though. Again, this is an experience where the owners actually care about the customer, not a hotel trying to gouge for every necessity. My least favorite stress traveling is always doing laundry, and it was very nice that we were accommodated on site.
The bathrooms have showers with very strong pressure and hot water. It's a big plus, and the room we had included bath robes which is an even bigger plus. The bed in our room was soft with foam the way we like it, and we slept well every night. The room had ample storage, and we did not feel cramped even with two large bags filled. There was plenty of room to hang our clothes.
I would highly recommend staying here to anyone. It's really worth a trip over from Amsterdam to experience the beautiful history of the coast, and the walk *down* into town from sea level.
The walls were extremely thin and the house was loud. 4 rooms in a tiny building, we could hear everything, literally every move of every people, kids running around, slamming doors, screaming, etc. from 8am. We could even hear someone sneezing from downstairs. That is certainly not something you want when you are on a holiday.
The bathroom was literally next to the head of the bed, only separated with an accordion door. So you went to the toilet 7 feet away from your partner with barely any decent separation. Oh yes and semi-transparent windows(!!) on the accordion door, to make sure the remaining privacy is gone.
The room could use some airing before receiving guests or in general. Smelt a bit, but wasnt too bad.
The wifi is very weak but mostly you can catch it.
When we left we paid 2 Euros more than what our booking price on booking.com was. I did not want to make a fuss about 2 Euros but I don`t like when someone changes the price in a business in the end just because they don`t know what they are doing. Could`ve been a bigger surprise, then I`d have complained about it, which could`ve led to an awkward situation. Not a good and professional practice.
The pros are that the service is decent, the owners are nice, we stayed 3 nights, it did the job, the bed was very nice, the bathroom was nice and clean, there was a lot of complimentary coffees and teas.
Altogether I'd say try and go to a decent hotel in the area instead. We wanted to try the authentic local feeling in a guesthouse since we always go to hotels, but this was more than enough for an experience. If it is your last chance, try it, but otherwise go to a hotel.
