NetherlandsThe view was stunning. The small porch was facing the ocean and cliffs, it was mesmerizing. The room was very comfortable, clean and nicely decorated. We appreciated the extra amenities (i.e. the cell phone) and the wine + cookies and water which was in the room for our pleasure. The breakfast was served individually (i.e. not buffet) and was superb.
