Book De Cocksdorp hotels

Nice location on the beach. Room was nice, perhaps getting somewhat aged but that was reflected by the price. A bit longer walk in to Makkum itself, but doable and safe. We picked it for the water view and easy access to laundry facilities, right nearby, for the midpoint of our trip.

Very relaxing, clean and stylish minimalist design. Quiet location within walking distance to dunes and reed beds. Excellent cycling lanes. Plenty of wildlife and within easy cycling distance to colourful bulb fields, coastal tracks, wetlands and villages. Limited places to eat without transport. The food in the restaurant however is delicious and excellent quality but fairly pricy. Limited choice for vegetarians/vegans. Always at least 2 fish options. Around 100-110 euro for 2 mains, sides, desserts and beers. With wine, coffee and starters this would be considerably more. The service can be slow when it’s busy. Expect it to take 2 hours for an evening meal. The self service buffet breakfast is also excellent. All fresh, great choice and all prepared and presented to a very high standard. The rooms are lovely. Stylish and minimalist. Limited storage so you have to be neat and tidy or you spoil the clean lines! They had new beds. Really comfortable and we slept very well. Maybe that was also the fresh air, good food and relaxing atmosphere. This is our second visit and would definitely return and recommend. The texel hopper is cheap to transfer to and from the ferry port but only runs hourly and can take 45mins plus depending on other pick ups so bear that in mind when planning journey home.
