De Snoeperij

Beautiful old house and a pretty room. The operators are a very nice couple.

All was excellent

N/A

The accommodation was very well organized and the arrival was superb. Parking was relatively easy to find nearby. The room was a bit small and not very soundproof, but very cozy, and tea and coffee were provided. We also liked the overall style reflected in the house and its furnishings. The shared bathroom and toilet were always clean. Breakfast was excellent; the order form filled out beforehand made choosing our personalized breakfast options much easier. All in all, the accommodation was very clean, in a quiet location, and the hosts were very friendly.

A ood selectionof teas, the continental breakfast was very good but selection was minimal, to keep the cost down nothing was wasted except for one guest who complained her egg was too hard boiled. It was a bit quirky trying to emulate some Englishness which didn't quite work but good attempt. It was a good idea to save water by having shared shower room for that reason I didn't take a shower there so that was a good reason to save water. I liked the quaint street where the Snoeperij was located.

It would have been nice to know that the beds were located one under another and to access them you had to move the top mattress onto a pull out bed frame and because the room was quite narrow there was aminmal space to walk passed it. Didn't like the wooden staircase --- seemed to be quite dangerous and the child's gate at the top of the stairs would constantly bang against our door when someone came through it, it was necessary however to prevent people falling down the stairs but could have been sited on the opposite wall to prevent it from banging into our door. The dishes, cups and plates were "crazed" this is a health issue as eating from "crazed" plates can cause stomach problems. The idea of using old English plates is good but coming from the city where these ceremics were produced gives me a kowledge of their failures. "Crazed" is a term indicating the glaze of the ceremamic article is no longer good --- it has a pattern of lines in irregular directions. Unfortunately these ceremics are minmally produced in my city of Stoke -on- Trent such as "Wedgwood" the owners outsourced the production to countries abroad where they could use cheap labour which is a pity as it caused a declinr in the city's good standing. De Snoeperij is a good place if you book the right room, we obviously didn't.
