We really loved staying in the Little House - it was perfect for our family. We loved getting the little ferry across to central Amsterdam (super easy) during the day and returning to the little oasis of the house and garden (just minutes from the ferry) after we'd spent a day exploring. Whilst it's so near the centre, there are also great local options. We loved eating at The Butcher and we had a wonderful evening at the A'Dam tower, taking in the views over the city (and the kids going on the swing over it!)
