Roel's BnB at the Bonpad Herman Windmill was a fascinating place to spend a few days. Roel was a great host and patient teacher on the inner workings of windmills. The windmill is located within an easy bus ride from Schiphol Airport, and a walk plus tram takes you to Amsterdam's Central Station. Waking up from a quiet, solid night's rest in a windmill, with a delicious breakfast, surrounded by fields and grazing cattle - what an amazing start to the day. Roel is extremely knowledgeable on many topics and gave us a detailed tour of the windmill and the archimedes screw that lifted water. After his instruction, we spent a day in Zaanse Schans touring other windmills, including the sawmill and the oil mill. Of all times I visited Amsterdam and the Netherlands, this stay has rated as my top adventure.
