I'd have done the same question. With google street view I looked at some parts of it and it appears to be a very relaxing place quite similar to me to some landscapes in Ireland

My friend ( a Dutchman) went to Texel in the month of September a few years ago for his honeymoon.
He chose it for it's natural beauty, tranquility and to relax.
Both him and his wife had a great time and comes thoroughly recommended. He told me it is one of those unspoilt places the Dutch like to keep quiet about so they can enjoy it for themselves !
Can be chilly though so wrap up well - or take someone with you to warm you up.

We absolutely loved Texel. It was just what we needed, some time away from the city with plenty of animals, wildlife and beautiful scenery. I highly recommend.
To get there you take a 90 minute train ride to Den Helder, then a 20 minute ferry ride. The island is not small so once you get there a bus (they take the OV chipcard) will take you to one the towns.
We stayed in de Cocksdorp, which is a smallish town on the opposite end from the ferry terminal. Winding bus ride of about one hour.
The island is a bike paradise...however next time I think we will rent a scooter. It is just very far between the towns and if you want to see a lot of things the bike is too slow (plus too much work LOL).
Was not looking for a coffeeshop but did not see one either.
First set, the train and ferry ride:
