Quiet location in the southwest. The restaurant came first, then the 14 rooms some years later. Simple, friendly, views across the meadows, breakfast served in your room or (much nicer, weather permitting) on the terrace immediately in front of your room, good restaurant, bicycles for hire – the ever more popular ebikes too if you ring in advance - (both walking and cycling to be recommended on Texel, horse riding looks good too). The beach and nature reserve in the SW corner of the island is especially pretty for walking (drive or cycle there from the hotel). Cycling around the island is a gentle half day. Walking around the island as a day trip is for enthusiasts only – start at 5 a.m. for your 60 km tour. In a Corona year there are even fewer non-Dutch tourists than usual (a few Germans dared to travel this July) but this has always been prime short break territory for Dutch tourists (our ex-neighbour Amsterdam dentists were not unique with their Texel weekend house) and is priced accordingly. Overall .... location is a real plus, value for money less so, but its uniqueness means I would recommend.
