  • Peaceful site on a 17th-century farm 10 minutes' cycle from Holwerd
  • A short drive or bike ride from ferries to the Frisian Islands
  • Fully-equipped safari tents with access to playground and wifi
Two-wheeled travelling types looking to fill your days with easygoing bike rides, consider heading to Holwerd, a handily placed village close to the Friesland coast. Lots of local and long-distance cycle paths converge just here to cater for both fairweather family days out and more epic exploration; it’s also the hub for trips to the Frisian Islands for beach days and more pedalling pleasure. A 10-minute leisurely ride out of town is Logeerboerderij De Groote Medwert, a peaceful site on a restored 17th-century farm. Here you can rest your head in a spacious safari tent, fully equipped with kitchen kit and with plenty of adaptable living space in which to spend leisurely time indoors, outdoors or somewhere in between, depending on the prevailing climate. This is a place that’s been deliberately kept compact and fuss-free to maintain that calm vacation vibe – no long list of activities here to distract you from the important job of chilling out, although they have cunningly installed a playground and wifi access to guard against restless nippers (and there’s plenty of space for them to wear themselves out running about and playing games, too). Self-catering is a cinch here, with supplies at the supermarket a mere 10-minute bike ride away; a couple of cafés and restaurants are up here too if you’d rather someone else did the work for a little while.

Local attractions

Pedal power is the top pick around here, for you’ve got easy access to all manner of cycle paths catering for everything from peaceful pottering to more epic exploration (the LF10 Wadden Sea Route and the LF3-1 Wetland Route are among the long-distance paths that pass through Holwerd). If you’re not the long-distance type, perhaps take a half-hour ride to the fortified town of Dokkum, potter to the fishing village and beach at Paesens-Moddergat in 45 minutes or pedal on for an hour to get to the Lauwersmeer National Park for a bit of birdwatching. Days out on the Frisian Islands are highly recommended from here, too – head up to the harbour in Holwerd for a ferry to take you to Ameland or Schiermonnikoog for beach days, kitesurfing and seal-spotting boat trips (plus more of those easy bike paths). For a spot of culture, take a half-hour drive to Leeuwarden, European Capital of Culture for 2018 and a fine place to wander through historic streets or hit the museums including the Princessehof ceramics museum and the Frisian Resistance Museum.
