We spent this past weekend at Inn on the Lake and could not have asked for a more idyllic experience. The home is amazing, filled with character, history and charm, yet renovated and decorated with the most fashionable and modern luxuries we could have asked for. From the moment we arrived we were charmed. The village the inn is situated in is beautiful with cobble stone streets, a lake with ducks and geese, beautifully restored homes that have retained all their old charm, and very warm locals. It gave us convenient access to Amsterdam city to explore, and a haven to escape to at the end of the day. Pamela and Karel were wonderful hosts, offering many suggestions and helping us find the resources to access the things we wanted to do. We were fortunate they had their niece staying to help at the time who added even more warmth and hospitality. Breakfast is amazing, not just the food but the surroundings and presentation and got us off to a good start each day. I highly recommend staying for dinner one evening at the inn, as Pamela is an exquisite cook. Dinner provided us with an elegant and delicious dining experience but in casual surroundings that made it ideal. Our bedroom was fantastic! Our bed was decadent, the bath and shower fantastic and the big robes, slippers and toiletries were a treat. The house was very clean, cosy, and warm and at the same time offered every modern convenience. I can't recommend this accomodation highly enough. It gave us the perfect base for our explorations and allowed us not only easy access to sight see in the city, but to hire bikes and a boat to explore other local villages from. It was like having the best of both a city break and a quiet weekend away all in one. Having visited Amsterdam before, when I return I will definitely be staying at this inn again. It far exceeded our expectations and other accomodation would fade in comparision.

We just returned from a lovely stay at the Inn On The Lake. And we have to say that we were very impressed. The B&B is located a bit outside Amsterdam (however there are good bus-connections to town - I think it took around 15 minutes - depending on what bus you took). But it is well worth the distance. It is situated (as the name implies) near a lake, and the view is stunning. Enjoying onces breakfeast (which we were equally impressed by), while watching the lake and swanes is so delightful. We stayed in the Red Room, and the interiour was beautiful and the room was very comfortable. Overall a beautiful contrast to the busy city life.

Outstanding in every respect, Pamela and Karel set a very high benchmark for others to follow. This woderful Inn is just 15 mins by bus from the city centre and 50 to the airport. We will be revisiting very soon. Ian and Rachael

Drie dagen hier gelogeerd bij Pamela en Karel en zeker niet de laatste keer. Wat een schitterend huis! Pamela heeft het tot in de puntjes ingericht met veel smaak, alles zeer luxe en niets is hen te veel. Je voelt je hier nog echt gast, uitleg over van alles, prima verbindingen met het openbaar vervoer. Bedankt voor de superdagen, wij komen zeker terug!

Een heerlijk hotel, klein (voor een hotel, 4 kamers!) maar fijn. Fantastisch ontbijt buiten of onder glas, er is keuze, met uitzicht op het water met bootjes, vogels enz. Interessante kamer, moderne features (voor de Blauwe Kamer: breng 2 tubes tandpasta mee want de wastafels zijn gescheiden) in schilderachtige, uiterst rustige omgeving. Eigenaars zeer behulpzaam met info, boekingen, kaarten enz. Korte busreis naar A'dam C.S., en een korte wandeling naar het hotel voor de kerk (het was de pastorie). Wij komen terug!

What a fabulous find! From the moment we arrived, we received exemplary hospitality from our hosts, Pamela and Karel. Pamela is so helpful and knowledgeable about local history and customs and nothing is too much trouble for her. Their wonderful home is so beautiful - full of carefully chosen, authentic furnishings - and the guest rooms have every conceivable luxury to make your stay comfortable. The attention to detail makes everything so special. We wanted to sit in her lovely garden and watch the birds around the lake all day! There are wild parrots, herons and the more usual ducks and moorhens. The village is SO close to Amsterdam, yet totally tranquil and peaceful - truly the very best of both worlds! We didn't want to come home, and felt we were leaving good freinds behind. Thank you both and we WILL come back and stay again (if we can get a reservation!) Lesley and Jeremy, Bristol UK

Nous étions en famille à 5, Nous sommes conquis : Des chambres au charme et au caractére d'antan mais avec tout le luxe moderne. Un reveil et petit déjeuner sur les berges du lac. Une rénovation qui apporte clarté au décor, un choix de tissus et de matière d'exception. Après une journée trépidante à Amsterdam ou quelques heures de marche à Keukenhof, quelle quiètude de revenir au village de Broek, tourné vers sa rivière. Et pour clôre ou demarrer la journée , ne passez pas à coté du diner ou du petit déjeuner. Pamela et Karel sont ici encore inoubliables.

As a surprise I was taken to the Inn at the Lake Amsterdam by my husband. What we found exceeded even his expectations! A warm welcome in a postcard-pretty setting of old Dutch wooden houses on the waterside. A luxerious room with every thinkable comfort including a V spring bed !! Not to mention the walk-in shower and free standing bath and everchanging view of the lake from the room. Breakfasts were a real treat with fresh ingredients, warm bread and kind attentions of the Lady of the Inn, Pamela. A true home away from home, if you are going to Amsterdam-Holland, no better place to stay !

Hi, I am a canadian resident and I have travelled the world. This is by far the nicest b and b my family and I have ever stayed at. The rooms are clearly 5 star, all new, yet you are staying in a beautiful quaint town in a very old building home. It is clearly amazing. Very easy to get to Amsterdam. I travelled with my parents, 2 friends and my 2 young children and we walked down the street, hopped on the city bus and it took us right to City Centre in 10 minutes. You have the best of both world by staying at this accomodation. I will make sure I visit this b and b whenever I can. The couple that owns this is very nice, purchased bus tickets for us upon arrival and was a wealth of information! Have fun and enjoy Netherlands like we did!

It is very rare to enter in an extremely different world, of art, design and culture while just spending 2 nights in Amsterdam. I could have stayed there forever. I can recommend this experience to everyone visiting Holland.

A wonderful bed & breakfast with beautiful and spaceious rooms. Situated in a beautiful village very close to Amsterdam, is the Inn on the Lake the first choice to stay, when visiting Amsterdam.
