Hoeve Consensus Texel - Akenbuurt 18

Well what shall I say. For the dogs an enclosed garden at the house .. But from the garden gate to the door of the house it was a pool of mud after one rain shower. FF put down a few tiles and you as a guest do not break the garden and especially the mud in. The kitchen had enough pans, dishes, cups, cutlery, etc. Very nice. And there was a box with fresh eggs ready. Very thoughtful. The dining table is decent, but dated. The blanket over it really doesn't help to cover this up. The sofas really really really need to be replaced. We had to put the garden cushions on it, to be able to sit properly. The small double bed has a mattress that is too thin. You can feel the bars of the bed through it. Very sweet of the owner, that we did not have to bring bedding for this bed. There is a door used by the owner to enter if necessary. This door opens into the shed. And is quite thin. As soon as the dogs hear something in the shed, they start to bark. Dogs just respond to that. And we did not like it either. Installing a soundproof door would provide more peace of mind for guests. The bathroom looks neat .. Is narrow, so the sink is too small to wash properly. Understandable size given the space, but perhaps a different model of sink and faucet or another place would have been a better solution for this space. The shower did not flow. The shower drain was clogged. I cleaned this out myself and then the shower flowed again. Emptying the shower drain is part of the cleaning and should not be done by the guests. The shower itself was nice and warm, with a good spray. The heating works well and the house is warm quickly. All in all, we had a very nice week on Texel. And the dogs enjoyed it. I will certainly recommend Texel for dog owners. Whether I will recommend Hoeve Consensus? No, I will not. And that is purely because of the house in this state. Not because of the owners, because they are very friendly and helpful.
