Inspiration for a wonderful late summer
- Indian summer on the Dutch coast
- Waking up among the mountains of Austria
- Active holiday in the Belgian Ardennes
A special place on the coast: De Molen
Some holiday homes are more than just a place to stay. They have character, a story, and an atmosphere that you feel immediately upon stepping inside.
De Molen in Egmond aan den Hoef is one such place. A characteristic accommodation where the charm of the past meets a warm, renovated interior. And with the dunes, the beach, and Egmond aan Zee nearby, this is a wonderful base for a few days on the North Holland coast.
Sleeping at a place with a story
What makes De Molen special is, first and foremost, the place itself. The characteristic architecture, wooden beams, and unique shape give the accommodation an allure that you won't easily find in a standard holiday home.
The interior was recently given a makeover. The atmosphere was renewed, while the character of De Molen was preserved. Warm materials, natural tones, and atmospheric lighting create an interior where you immediately feel at home.
This is what a day at De Molen might look like
You start off calmly at the breakfast table. No rush, because there is nothing on the schedule for today.
After breakfast, you put on your coat and head towards Egmond aan Zee. First, a walk along the beach, the wind in your hair, and then a hot coffee.
You walk back towards Egmond aan den Hoef via the dunes. Perhaps you will make a stop in Bergen along the way.
At the end of the afternoon, you return to De Molen. The lights come on, the candles can be lit, and for the rest of the evening, there is really only one thing you need to do: enjoy the fact that you are completely away from it all.
From De Molen to the sea
De Molen is located in Egmond aan den Hoef, a lovely place to discover the North Holland coast and the dune area.
From here, you can easily reach Egmond aan Zee for a walk along the beach. Put on your walking shoes for a trek through the dunes or hop on a bike to explore the surroundings further.
And especially in autumn and winter, the coast has something special: fresh sea air, wide beaches, and space to really clear your head.
From De Molen, you can discover, among other things:
🌊 Egmond aan Zee – beach, sea, and cozy terraces
🌾 The dunes – ideal for walking and cycling
🏘️ Egmond aan den Hoef – quiet and characteristic
🌿 Bergen – art, culture, forest, and cozy shops
🚲 North Holland coast – beautiful routes towards Bergen, Schoorl, and beyond
