On the edge of Haarlem and near Amsterdam and Schiphol airport lies the idyllic town of Spaarndam. A centuries-old typically Dutch village with a town centre where time stood still.

In the heart of the old centre of Spaarndam is a house with a rich history. It once housed an inn, but soon became the local town pub “De Telescoop”, or the telescope, named for the beautiful view it offers across the River IJ to the Zaan region. In 1950 the home was transformed into a Youth Club. The old attic, where once youngsters played handball, has now been converted into three spacious and luxurious bedrooms. And the first floor is no longer used to stage plays, but instead serves as a very welcoming guest area with a large table where the regulars are served their breakfast!
