De Zonnehoed

Lisse

We loved our three night stay at De Zonnehoed! Our family of 4 stayed in the detached, studio apartment which was tidy, cozy and offered plenty of privacy.  We slept well in the comfy beds (2 in the living room, 2 upstairs) and Martin, the friendly owner, delivered a delicious, well presented breakfast to our door each morning...a great way to start the day!  Enjoyed watching the resident chickens, sheep and cows out our window. Took several nice walks along the canal past the windmill.  Easy access to the gardens at Keukenhof...a must see! Drove 10 minutes to the supermarket (Albert Heijn) in Sassenheim and used the mini fridge to store snacks/lunch food.
**Make sure you have Euros as Martin does not accept credit cards.

Highly recommend!

What did we like?
This B&B is located in a beautiful place in a relatively rural area, and very close to an amazing windmill landmark. 
25 min of Amsterdam by car, and close driving distances from other interesting places to visit. This is what we were looking for.  We enjoyed watching the animals on the way to the B&B: a large herd of pony horses, rabbits, and all sorts of birds.
The owner Martin was very attentive and very nice to talk to.
The room was spacious. With a double bed in the lower floor and 2 single beds in the upper level.
The room and bathroom were clean.

Some feedback for improvement:
The lack of Air Conditioning might be good for most of the year in Holland, but not for July, August. It was hot, so we had to leave the windows open, which brought in a bunch of mosquitoes and other flying bugs.
Breakfast was fine, although somewhat inconsistent in the time of service, and the content. 
No Gluten Free Options, though. We had to bring our own bread.
Last but not least, we didn't notice that Martin doesn't accept credit cards. This resulted in a problem. We had to look for a currency exchange place. Accepting CC is a must, it is expected.

Nice place, strategically located, but not ready for the global warming era.

This B&B is located near Keukenhof, just 10-15 minutes drive.  The apartment was very clean and had a small kitchen. The host was very welcoming. He really made us feel like staying at our own home. Breakfast was served at our apartment. He even asked the time that we would like breakfast to be served. The view was magnificent when we were there. Perfect to watch the sunset. Worth every minute of our stay! 

Lovely apartment, nice host, great location for Keukenhof visit

The thing I liked best about this B&B was that the host asked us what time we wanted breakfast. At other places we have stayed, the proprietor told us what time breakfast would be served. However, in this case, Martin asked us. For example, on the morning that we wanted to leave early for the cheese market in Alkmaar, he was willing to serve us breakfast at 7am. On the other mornings, when we wanted to sleep later, breakfast could be later. I appreciated his willingness to adjust to our schedule as tourists. We also loved the location because of the convenient walking and biking trails and the cool windmill nearby. Certainly not fancy but, all in all, an excellent place to stay.

Breakfast time

It's better to point it out first: the house is isolated in the countryside, and it's better to have a car... or a bicycle! But this place is stunning: first of all for the welcome, Martian (no, not a resident of Mars, but Martin for the French), tall and moustached, is warm, and he came to pick us up at the Keukenhof where we had arrived by bus. The room is spacious, with a dining room, a kitchen, a small living room, and two beds; and on the floor, under the roof, two other beds. It's very bright, very friendly, warm, with beautiful walls.

It's superlative!

This was our second stay at De Zonnehoed and we love it! Martien is such a warm and welcoming character and very entertaining. Our room was lovely, and well equipped, overlooking the garden with an ensuite too. We had our car and bikes with us too which was no problem, and ideal as the house is right on the crossroads of two cycle paths. The situation is idyllic, just near a windmill and close to the waterway, overlooking fields, but close enough to the bulbfields and sand dunes for lovely cycle rides, and the charming little town of Lisse for coffee and shopping. It's also close to Keukenhof gardens so it was very easy to be first in the queue when they opened - highly recommended if you're visiting the wonderful gardens. The breakfasts are plentiful and varied with fresh local produce and home laid eggs and homemade bread. 
Perfect!

HIghly recommended!

This will be the fifth time we've been there!!! We're staying in the studio, it's super calm, clean, very fresh and super cozy, Martin very nice... not far from Amsterdam, near the Keukenhoff, nice walks in the dunes... In short, I can only recommend!!!

We love it!

The location is very good, in a very green countryside. There is no parking problem. The area lends itself very much to walking and being in touch with nature. The room is quite large, clean, well furnished and comfortable. Breakfast was ok.

A carefree vacation in Lisse

Villetta in the middle of fields with horses and sheep and canals, roads reserved for bicycles, very quiet. Lovely room with desk, TV, boiler and coffee machine. Free Wifi. Bathroom separated from the toilet both private and immediately outside the room.

Good and quiet B/B

We've been back a few hours from our trip to the Netherlands and stayed in this BB: vote? 10...before 11 if you can!!!! Very easy to reach, in the middle of the green, in a house that is not to say delicious, with a thousand-and-one-night breakfast. What did it offer? Well....milk, coffee, tea, chocolate in a cup, slices and cheeses, fresh bread..hot, fresh orange squeezed, butter of 2 types, slices of typical sweets, various kinds of marmalades, fresh fruit frozen every day, fresh yogurt (not the most of the dishes!). In the most recent days, as Easter was nearby, this morning there was a small game, a little yellow orange cottage with a little water, which is very nice for the children to go to the day trip. We went to the Amsterdam hotel and asked for a new, all-new, all-new, all-new, all-new, all-new, all-new, all-new, all-new, all-new, all-new, all-new, all-new, all-new

A wonderful home to feel at home and meet exquisite people just a few steps from Amsterdam
