United Kingdom3 reviews“A grand week”There was nothing that we did not like, but for someone who knows nothing about boats and marina's, the walkways can get a little slippery when wet
Peace and quite, the noisiest thing about it was the odd duck floating past and quacking central heating in the boat was mega efficient, all in all if you want peace and quite out of the hustle and bustle C'est la vie is perfect. The bed is very comfortable Initially, I thought the boat maybe quite cold as it was on the water in April, but the central heating was more than up to the task. After 10 minutes, we were having to turn it down it was so hot.all in all extremely comfortable Would I go there again? Yes

United Kingdom7 reviews“Love this place!! A very unique holiday. Far better than a hotel.”This isn't a complaint but I had no space left above to mention that there's no toaster or oven/grill - only the hob. So be prepared when you shop to buy microwavable food or anything you can heat up or cook in a pot/frying pan. I've noticed a lot of people saying the bed was too small, so just wanted to say it wasn't too small for us, and we found it very comfortable. Again not a complaint, just ran out of room to type..... didn't get to try the American Diner (Charleys) as it was closed when we went there, but we did eat at Het Spiegelhuys and it was very good. One more tip, if mosquitoes tend to like you, take a good deet spray, maybe some plug ins or whatever you need (antihistamines maybe). We had fantastic weather and 30 degrees but this meant mosquitoes, especially being next to water and lots of trees and bushes. They didn't bother my husband but unfortunately I take quite a reaction to them. So if you're like me, go prepared.
Loved our time in this beautiful place. The view of the lake is stunning. Had lots of visits from the ducks and swans. It's just the most relaxing place. Woody was very welcoming and helpful. He organised a boat for us to rent for two days. We had the best time exploring around the lake. WiFi was excellent. All facilities in perfect working order. Have added some useful info below if it helps others enjoy their stay: Late arrival was no problem - just email and they'll make arrangements with you for the keys. We went into Amsterdam on the evening of our arrival (to eat) and on the day of departure (we had hours to pass before our flight). We found the best route for us was to get the train from Schipol to Amsterdam Centraal, then to Weesp (pronounced "vesp"), then the bus outside the station entrance to Nederhorst den Berg (the bus stops right outside Spiegelzicht). Do however look into the times of public transport. We left it too late to get the train/bus on the way there and paid €110 for a taxi - this was however more convenient with our two suitcases. We were leaving on a Sunday and discovered the local bus (106) doesn't run on Sundays. However we used a local taxi firm who were very good and reliable (Souv's). The local shop (Albert Heijn) is the only shop in town and is open everyday between 8am and 9pm apart from Sunday when it's open from 11am til 6pm. It's not far to walk but it feels like it when you have heavy bags, but you could use the bus, or if you hire a boat you can use it to go shopping. When you come out Spiegelzicht (on the water), turn right, drive the boat straight until you can't go any further, then head over towards the windmill, and over to the left of it you'll see a sign that says "Boodschappen Steiger" (groceries jetty). Enter there, turn immediately right and there's a bit further up to moor up over to the left.

Fabulous location with a view to die for. Comfy bed, great shower with plenty of hot water. Fabulous restaurants 3 mins drive away. Nothing not to like.

Superb location - peaceful and restful. Really well equipped and maintained.
