Cottage Egmond-Binnen met besloten tuin

First of all: the host :) He is very friendly and out going, so you can chat with him for quite a long time. Also very informative as he gave me a lot of info about different attractions nearby. Responses via WhatsApp were very quick. Location. It might look like it's quite far away from Amsterdam, but it's just a few minutes drive to the P+R station, where you can catch a train or metro to the city. You can leave your car in the designated space best the cottage or simply park on the street - there's ample room there. On the other hand, if you don't drive, you might want to choose someplace closer. Price. At the time of booking it definitely wasn't the cheapest offer, but still much less than what you would have to pay in the City Centre. And if you're not a fan of city noise - this is the place to rent :) Wifi. No issues :) There's a garden outside, but I never used it, so can't give an honest opinion about it.

Even though the house looks fine, there were some issues that I wasn't particularly fond of. There was quite a lot of spiders, so if you're afraid of them, you might not feel very comfortable. Also, the heating kept switching off at night, which made the mornings really chilly. Maybe it was my fault as I just couldn't get the settings right, but that's something you might want to consider. Cleanliness was ok, but what I found weird was that before the check-out you are expected to take all the linen from the bed and put it on the side, ready for laundry. This was a first for me as, even though I always leave the room in a clean condition, nobody ever asked me to do this before...

Lovely little cottage. We booked it mainly for the garden as we were travelling with our dog, and we loved it. It has everything you need, and it felt very private. Good communication with the host.

We were travelling by public transport. Our fault for not researching better but the village is poorly connected. Few connections during the week (and dogs not allowed on the bus) and no busses on Sundays. Would not recommend unless you travel by bike or car.
