The boathouse was everything we had hoped for and more. The location is perfect with all the major attractions within an easy cycle on the complimentary bikes away. The room itself was a cosy retreat from the inclement Amsterdam weather, the heating was always on and the room was large enough to hang out when we were tired from the museums. The bed is a true joy. Karin, Vincent and her family were extremely pleasant and welcoming. It was helpful to keep our milk for coffee in the house fridge. The room is stocked with guidebooks and maps to borrow and that was very helpful. We would highly recommend The Boathouse as a base for any couple travelling to The Netherlands. We hope to visit again in the not so distant future.
