Something very specific for accommodation properties in The Netherlands is the fact that in the major tourist destinations there is a large selection of accommodation, while in destinations of little interest accommodation is limited. In the country the number of bed and breakfast establishments is around 4000. A bed and breakfast here is a small-scale accommodation intended for a short stay. Unlike typical B&B establishments, in a Dutch B&B it is not obligatory for the owners to live on premises. Still, guests are served sumptuous breakfast, which is very often home made. High level of hospitality and personal attention as well as stylish decoration and furnishing is what makes a bed and breakfast in The Netherlands so attractive. Typical B&B in this country are all types of houses, lodges and other small-scale accommodations in the country that provide breakfast and are privately owned. Literally translated in Dutch, B&B means bed en ontbijt or logies met ontbijt.
