Polderhuis Bed & Breakfast

My wife and I wanted to visit Delft, and looking for a place to stay we found Polderhuis B&B. It proved to be one of the best accommodations we ever visited in The Netherlands. The building itself is very characterful, and once inside the interior proved to be tastefully in synch with the exterior. The staff were very friendly, and once we had settled ourselves in our room, the 1906, which number refers the year the Polderhuis was built, we decided to grab something to eat. The menu doesn't provide dinner as such, but there are soups, various sandwiches, meal salads et cetera. So plenty of choice. The menu mentioned that a lot of what's on offer is organic and fairtrade. What's not to like about that? The tomato soup was superb; obviously home made from fresh tomatoes. The tuna sandwiches were also excellent, and we liked the bread that was used. Pain de Mer. The menu explains how the use of purified sea water reduces the amount of salt needed to bake this kind of bread. Whatever... What matters is that it tastes delicious! Anyway, with our bellies full we enjoyed the rest of the evening in our spacious room, which had a lovely view of a park that is right outside the B&B's front door. The bathroom was also quite spacious - due to the fact that it is suited for disabled people - and had an excellent rain shower. The beds, quite large. I would estimate super king size, and they were very comfy! Needless to say, we slept well. Next morning, there was breakfast. What a treat! Little round buns of that same delicious Pain de Mer, fresh croissants, cheeses (we declined meat for breakfast), jams, honey. And we could ask for eggs in any form we wanted, scrambled, boiled, whatever. Very tasty, believe me. And again, friendly staff. That too, adds to the experience. In my infinite wisdom (ahem), I like to say: friendlyness costs nothing, but it's priceless. So, rounding all this up, Polderhuis proved to be a most excellent place to stay, one that we certainly intend to visit again. And should you find yourselves in need of an accommodation in that area, I recommend this B&B, that is in some ways like a small luxury hotel.

We stayed at the Polderhuis B&B for 3 nights in September while visiting my niece who lives in Bergschenhoek. Our room was nice, comfortable and clean. Nice atmosphere all around. The surroundings are very nice. It is located across the street from a park and also has its own pretty land scaping. The breakfast was one of the best we have experienced in Europe (traveling there about once a year). It was fresh, healthy and plentiful. Good Coffee and other refreshments available. All around an excellent place to stay. If you are elderly or for some reason do not do well using stairs, make sure you get a ground floor. Otherwise, we lodged at an upper floor and our luggage was carried up and down for us as needed. There are restaurants, gift shops, bakeries and grocery stores in walking distance.

Even though this is a small bed and breakfast, it is big in hospitality, comfort and friendliness. It has beautiful views over a park from one side and a lovely garden from another. It is very clean. The breakfast is delicious with homemade cheese, jam and butter among other items. The owners run it themselves and go out of their way to help.
