Splendid location
Smederij Texel Bed & Breakfast sits in a perfect spot in the island’s most northerly village, De Cocksdorp. Right in the heart of the central street, surrounded by beautiful buildings. And with some specialist shops and several restaurants in walking distance. Immediately from our B&B you can set off on a splendid walking route or head out on a fine bike ride. You’re at the Waddendijk within just a few hundred metres, looking out over the World-Heritage-designated Wadden Sea. The extensive Eierland dune area lies within a short distance, part of Texel’s National Park Dunes. The Texel lighthouse is already clearly visible. Particularly special is the wide beach behind the lighthouse, where the Wadden Sea and the North Sea meet. And worth mentioning: Texel is very dog-friendly; most places where you’re welcome, so is your dog.
Prefer relaxing close to home? There are plenty of little nooks to settle into with a good book in the large garden behind our B&B. Perhaps in the old orchard or under the impressive walnut tree. We also have a heated garden house which you can use. Our garden is a beautiful paradise on Wadden Island Texel.
