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.
