Guesthouse 10 is located in the village of Schellinkhout, which borders the city of Hoorn and the Markermeer.
The holiday accommodation is located at the beginning of the winding village road with alternating farms, historic buildings and modern houses on either side. After 2 km the village ends at a beach / sunbathing area where kitesurfing is busy most of the year. As an alternative, the city beach of Hoorn, which will open in 2023, is recommended. The North Sea beaches can also be reached within 30 minutes by car.
Schellinkhout is located on various cycling routes that cross West Friesland. For example towards Hoorn, Enkhuizen and Medemblik. The Omringdijk from the Markermeer to Heerhugowaard is also a well-known cycling route. There are also many varied excursions possible, such as:
The Zuiderzee museum in Enkhuizen
The museum steam tram Hoorn-Medemblik
Boat trips
Within 5 minutes by car or 15 minutes by bike you can reach the city center of Hoorn, where you can experience plenty of culture, eat, drink and shop. In the other direction, Enkhuizen is approximately 15 minutes by car.
