Comfortable, and convenient
We had an excellent week, very clean and comfortable with a great bed. Situated very close to the windmills and convenient for train and bus. Fred and Kelly were lovely hosts and did all they could to ensure our stay has been memorable. Thank you.

Comfortable, great location, private, good facilities, great hosts.
Fred and Kelly's accommodation is away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but is in an excellent location as it is close to public transport, is in easy walking distance of the open air museum, and by car it is easy to travel to interesting locations along the coast. Fred and Kelly are very attentive with tourist information, provision daily of fresh towels if requested, emptying of refuse bins, but importantly provide all of the privacy you require. To have a spa bath and a sauna within the accommodation is a real treat and luxury. The items in the apartment/flat are of good quality and there was nothing we required that was not available. Car parking is on-street and there was always a space within a few minute's walk. The flat looks out onto the private and secure garden which is available for use by guests. We are an older couple and at the conclusion of 3 months touring Europe this was the ideal place to end our travels.

Lovely Apartment
We loved our stay at Zaanse Koopmanshuis. Kelly and Fred couldn’t have been more helpful and welcoming. They met us with chocolates and coffee, even providing these for our family, who arrived with us. The apartment is roomy, with a Spa Bath and Sauna and the little courtyard garden was beautiful. The apartment was close to Amsterdam, to our family in Alkmaar and to the Zaanse Schans. The train station was a short walk away, a supermarket was within walking distance and restaurants were close by. We were planning to use the provided bikes, but the immediate area was not what we had imagined it to be. We thought it was more out in the countryside. The only thing that let the property down, in our opinion, was the semi industrial surrounds. We would give this property 4 1/2 stars if this was possible.

Great stay in a nice, quaint, clean guesthouse
We loved our stay here. The guesthouse was very clean and shows exactly as the pictures online. Fred and Kelli are great hosts—lots of communication but also don’t bother you. 8 min from the train, number of restaurants within 5-10 walk (try Kathmandu) as well as two grocery stores. We enjoyed our week, travelling into Amsterdam (20 min by train) as well as other nearby towns. Very convenient. We will definitely stay here again on our future trips to Amsterdam

a charming well appointed apartment. Hosts provide excellent instructions as well as plenty of tourist info in several languages. There are great grocery stores and windmills within a short walk, and both a superb Nepalese restaurant and outstanding chocolate shop within steps. Transportation was easy and we enjoyed our stay.

Eine paar herrlich entspannte Tage
Die Wohnung ist sehr schön eingerichtet, es fehlt an nichts. Davor ein netter kleiner Innenhof mit Springbrunnen. Im Sommer mit Sicherheit noch schöner, wenn man draußen sitzen kann. Zanse Schans ist fußläufig zu erreichen und nebenan ist ein sehr empfehlenswertes indisches Restaurant. Amsterdam , Haarlem oder die Küste sind in 30 - 45 min zu erreichen. Und wenn man wie wir Ende Februar dort ist, freut man sich am Abend auf die eigene Sauna oder den Whirlpool. Liebe Grüße an die netten Vermieter, eine klare Weiterempfehlung !!

The property is just lovely, Kelly and Fred Snel are very friendly and their guesthouse was warm and welcoming and full of little gifts. We enjoyed our stay very much. The sauna and the jacuzzi were great to have in the evenings after strolling around Amsterdam. It was a great time and we regret that we couldn’t stay longer.

Perfect Place to Stay
Our stay here was wonderful. The house is beautiful and clean with a cute little garden. Plenty of good dining options nearby, a well stocked grocery store, a short walk to the train station and just over 15 minutes to Central Station, Amsterdam. We also took the train into Haarlem (approx. 30 min with a transfer) and enjoyed a great day exploring and shopping. Fred & Kelly are lovely people and very helpful with anything you may need. We would definitely stay here again!

Ein Schmuckstück
Der Aufenthalt in dem sehr schön erhaltenen Haus wurde uns von der Familie Snel äußerst angenehm gestaltet - vielen Dank nochmals! Von Koog aus können viele schöne Ausflüge auch per Fahrrad gemacht werden. Einziges kleines Minus waren die Restaurants in der Umgebung, z.T. waren sie ab 18 Uhr geschlossen oder die Speisekarte war recht dürftig (für unseren Geschmack).

Quaint Cottage
Wonderful trip to Amsterdam and areas. We had a car for 4 days of 10. Parking was not a problem. We parked a very short block away each day. This cottage is cozy and very charming. We cooked breakfast daily and ate in for dinner often. All was easy. Our hosts were very attentive and caring. The cottage is a 10 minute walk to the train station and about 15 minute walk to Zaan Schans. I do not hesitate in recommending this cottage to future travelers. Thank you to Fred and Kelly. Patricia

Tolles Gästehaus mit Ambiente
Das Gästehaus war sehr schön eingerichtet und hat viel Ambiente. Alles ist mit Liebe gestaltet und es wird an alles gedacht. Es gab einen kleinen Weihnachtsbaum, es lag Obst bereit und auch ein paar Süßigkeiten zur Begrüßung. Selbst ein Piccolo mit Gläsern stand für Silvester bereit. Die Gastgeber sind sehr nett und haben sich alle Mühe gegeben uns einen schönen Aufenthalt zu bereiten. Für uns war es natürlich auch gut, dass Beide sehr gut deutsch können. Wir werden wieder kommen.

About the host

Hosted by Fred und Kelly Snel

Host profile image
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!

Why they chose this property

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.

What makes this property unique

't Zaanse Koopmanshuis Anno 1694, a national governmental monument, 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.
