Holiday home Texel with dog

Every holiday home on Texel that welcomes your dog and is available in our offer has a unique character. This may manifest itself in the special location, such as on the edge of the woods or near the beach, privacy offered and extra luxury facilities, such as a sauna or use of bicycles. From your cottage on Texel, you can walk with your dog directly through the woods or take a long walk through the dunes. This is because the accommodations are very rural. Moreover, there is always a spacious garden, so that you and your dog can relax in peace and quiet outside your cottage.

As a walking and cycling island par excellence, you can go in so many directions on Texel that even the dog will be tucked up on his pillow in the evening. The island's cycling network has more than 140 km of cycle paths and through 200 km of footpaths. During the breeding season, the footpaths are not all accessible, but even then you still have 150 km at your disposal. A beautiful route for cycling is the one along the Wad, called the bird boulevard. You will pass through old fishing villages, past fortresses and spoonbill colonies. The Slufter is ideally suited to walking in the silence of nature.

When it comes to nature, Texel is a true paradise for our four-legged friends. Forest, beach and grassland as far as the eye can see. On a large part of the island, dogs are allowed off-leash all year round. There are restrictions from 1 March to 1 September, in view of breeding birds and bathers. In De Dennen and Het Krimbos, dogs may always be off the lead during the day. Do you want to work with your dog or let him socialise with other dogs? Texel regularly organises pack walks and offers various types of dog training.

For a holiday island with such a small area as Texel, there is relatively a lot to do and see. Most attractions are outdoors such as, Eierland lighthouse near De Cocksdorp, Fort De Schans in Oudeschild and the many nature reserves. Museums, the sea mammal centre and the Texel ZOO are not accessible to dogs. When you book a cottage Texel with dog with us, these are things you should take into account. On Texel, however, there is a very good day care centre for dogs. In principle, you can go anywhere you like.
