Near Amsterdam, luxury guesthouse with kitchen, Jacuzzi and private Finnish sauna

We opened a Bed & Breakfast in our attractive merchant’s house, characteristic of the Zaan region – and a listed building, dating from 1694 – in the spring of 2008. What began with a request from friends for accommodation for ‘their’ interim manager for one or two nights a week soon developed into our Bed & Breakfast.

Our U-shaped house – with nine rooms, three bathrooms, and a large enclosed garden – is ideally suited both to receiving guests and to our work as a writer and musician. Moreover, we have discovered the enjoyment of welcoming guests.

Since March 2008 a steady stream of guests, ranging from interim managers and businessmen and women to tourists from all corners of the world, have felt ‘at home’ in our Bed & Breakfast.

A little more than one year after we began our Bed & Breakfast we – to our great surprise – won the Dutch Bed & Breakfast Award, 2009, followed by the Eropuit in Eigen Land Award 2010-2011, apartment category.

We look forward to greeting you at our Bed & Breakfast!

We instantly fell in love with our house and we still feel very priviliged that we were able to buy it.

't Zaanse Koopmanshuis Anno 1694 offers you a cheerful guest room, with your own bathroom, or a luxurious guest suite with a kitchen, bathroom with Jacuzzi and your personal Finnish sauna. The central location of our B&B offers you an ideal base for both an exploration of the surroundings and visits to Amsterdam, the coast and the many tourist attractions in the Province of Noord-Holland.

Attractions within about 30 minutes by car – often also readily accessible by public transport – include the historic cities of Haarlem and Alkmaar (cheese market on Fridays), the old, picturesque towns of Monnickedam and Edam and, slightly further away, Hoorn and Enkhuizen on the former Zuider Zee; the charming earlier island of Marken; Volendam, a popular tourist fishing village; Beverwijk’s Zwarte Markt, Europe’s largest indoor market; the popular coastal resorts of Zandvoort, Castricum and Egmond aan Zee with their beaches, sea and dunes and, in the spring, the flowering bulb fields.
