    Accommodation

    There is a wide variety of accommodation in Holland including hotels and bed & breakfast establishments. And, more important for cyclists, there is always a variety of choices within one day's cycling.
    We focus on accommodation that has an attractive, authentic setting in the countryside or in a historic part of a town or village and is good value for money. While business hotels are generally of good quality, Tulip Cycles tends to avoid them as they often lack the atmosphere and scenic location that we seek for our customers.

        Bed & Breakfast
    B&B accommodation is often provided in private homes or farmhouses where the emphasis is placed on giving their guests personal service in order to make them feel 'at home'. Unlike the generally luxurious B&B accommodation in the U.S.A. and Canada, Dutch accommodation tends to be more basic, with bathrooms and toilet facilities often being shared. Don't forget, as a guest in somebody's house you are expected to observe the house rules and blend in with your temporary environment. You are expected to arrive no earlier than late afternoon, and to depart before noon the next day.
