‘t Skoôtje

Welcome to B&B ‘t Skoôtje 

Our B&B where we will receive you hospitably is located in Opperdoes, a gem in West-Friesland. Everything breathes the atmosphere of this region. Nostalgic streets next to small canals, pyramid-shaped farms and bridges, so you really relax. 

B&B ‘t Skoôtje is next to Medemblik and the IJsselmeer lake. Hoorn, Enkhuizen and the North Sea beach are also within easy reach.

Accessability. 
Our B&B in Opperdoes is easily accessible by public transport with a direct bus connection from Hoorn. Opperdoes is only 5 minutes by car from freeway A7. 

Opperdoezer Ronde 
Within a radius of 1 km around the church next to the B&B, the Opperdoezer Ronde is cultivated. This potato is a delicacy, which is on the menu of many a chef, for example in the restaurants at the port of Medemblik. 

More regional products
In West Friesland, many regional products are offered directly from the fields via roadside sales stalls. Be surprised by the versatility of our region, in other words: enjoy it. 

 

 

 ‘t Skoôtje 
skoôtje is an old West-Frisian bakery product of 250 grams consisting of 10 white bread rolls, a break-bread for special occasions in the spring, which was eaten with butter and syrup. It is the precursor to the Dutch popular white bread roll. 
Another meaning of a skoôt is a rope to fasten the sail of a fieldboat and thus keep course. In addition, a skoôt (womb) stands for warmth and security.
We will do our utmost to have the name of B&B ‘t Skoôtje come back during your stay, with the white bread rolls not missing from breakfast. 

Nature reserve De Skoôt.
This nature reserve and water storage is a stepping stone in the Nature Network of the Netherlands and part of a nature areas stretch between the IJsselmeer lake and the North Sea.

Bring your binoculars or camera, because it is an idyllic wetland between the West-Frisian ring dike and the horticultural fields with thickets. A nice area for bird watching, including the common snipe, reed warbler, shelduck and the black-tailed godwit.
