Bed & Breakfast Frans Hals Haarlem

Excellent location, welcoming friendly hosts,

Bathroom facilities on a separate floor to our bedroom.

Our room was very cosy and comfortable, with fresh flowers (from the garden) to make extra homely. Good wifi access. The breakfast is very good - as full a continental breakfast as you will find anywhere - this was taken at a large, splendid wooden table in the pleasant dining/living room. Very friendly hosts and Wim(William) is very knowledgeable about the local area and Dutch history/culture (and much more besides) - we enjoyed breakfast conversations. They kindly lent us bicycles, so we were able to explore the local area, including the nearby National Park (woodland, dunes, lakes and coast) - this was much appreciated Frans Hals B&B is located close to Haarlem train/bus station (an easy 10 minute walk) and makes for a good base. Haarlem is a delightful, elegant town, with easy access to the coast (cycle or walk) and very regular trains to Amsterdam (20 minutes journey). Staying in Haarlem is more pleasurable than being in the 'hustle and bustle' of Amsterdam. Recommend a visit to the Teyler's Museum - it is a real wonder. Also recommend a visit to Kerkenhof flower garden - it offered a floral spectacle and entertainment in the pavilions for a full day. We spent an enjoyable 6 nights here and would be very happy stay at Frans Hals B&B again - recommended.

Nothing of any consequence. It would have been a bonus to have had fresh fruit offered as an option for breakfast - but we did visit in winter!

the hosts were very nice and helpful
