A Fabulous Find

Review Submitted: 12/14/11
My family, (two adults, our children age 5 & 3, and grandmother) stayed in this wonderful house for 10 days in November 2011. We couldn't have been happier and the owners could not have been more helpful. The house is in a perfect location. Close enough to all the sites but just out of the hustle and bustle to be quiet and relaxing. The house had everything we needed. The kids loved their loft bedroom. The kitchen is small but expertly designed. The beds were comfortable. The heating was great as it could be individually controlled in each room. The little courtyard is a delight. There was plenty of hot water for showers. The house was a perfect size with good sized rooms even for our party of 5. My only request at all would be to ask the owners to include more restaurant recommendations featuring local cuisine and to include a power converter for US plugs. We would absolutely stay there again and recommend it to everyone. Final note: the tour books say you can "do" Brugge in a day or two. This city is beyond beautiful and it requires a lot more time than that to soak up it's charm. Thank you to De Hoedenmaker for making out trip so fabulous!

De Hoedenmaker is indeed a most charming property! It is extremely well equipped, very cosy and in a quiet location. After our journey from the UK is was great to be met by such a hospitable host in Marie-Christine and the welcome chocolates and beers were much appreciated. We would not hesitate to recommend De Hoedenmaker to our friends and family.

Our week in Bruges

De Hoedenmaker was the perfect place to stay in Bruges. It was only a five minute walk to the Markt, but yet in a quiet neighborhood. The house was exactly as the pictures on the web site. We had plenty of room and the kitchen was well equiped. Francis even found an English speaking doctor for me to see when we arrived as I was a bit under the weather. I would definitely recommend this property.

Vacances en famille

Nous avons séjourné avec nos 3 filles et nous avons adoré Bruges; et la maison y est pour quelque chose. L'accueil de Francis, la propreté, l'emplacement tout est parfait. On peut tout voir à pied et il y a ce qu'il faut tout près, épicerie, traiteurs pour se faire un bon souper en famille après une longue journée de visite. Je recommande sincèrement cette maison pour un séjour parfait à Bruges.

wir hatten 5 wunderschöne tage in brügge in diesem sehr gemütlichen und sauberen haus.der besitzer hat uns sehr freundlich empfangen und viele tips in und um brügge herum gegeben.danke für die leckeren pralinen und das frische bier zum empfang. das haus liegt sehr ruhig,mit einem gemütlichen innenhof, aber dennoch zentral, sodass man das zentrum schnell zu fuß erreichen kann. wir würden das haus auf jedenfall weiterempfehlen .es gibt zahlreiche restaurants und cafes in brügge und sehr viel zu besichtigen. besonders hervozuheben ist eine radtour am dammekanal an die nordsee. doch es gibt noch unzählige herrliche radtouren. in brügge kann man einige wochen verbringen, ohne dass es einem langweilig wird.das haus ist gut ausgestattet , so dass man sich wie zu hause fühlen kann.

I stayed here with y wife and parents for a short break in Spring. Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay or better hosts. Francis was extremely helpful, evening driving us to the train station at the end of the stay. Would definitely stay here again.

What a charming house! What wonderful hosts! The house is beautifully decorated in a lovely, convenient, and quiet location. No need for a car once you are here, everything is in easy walking distance, and what a wonderful area to walk. One of the best places we have rented in our travels. Thanks for the wonderful memories. Paul, Miriam, and Rob

We (two couples over 65) stayed at De Hoedenmaker in early June 2011 and would highly recommend it to anyone. The owners met us right on time and provided us with all the information we would need for our visit, as well as some wonderful chocolates. The house and patio area are lovely and the laundry facilities greatly appreciated. The kitchen is very upgraded with everything we would need to have several meals there, but we did enjoy Tom's Diner. We would recommend renting bicycles for a ride to Damme and around the perimeter of Brugge on the bike path, and we had a great time touring the brewery.

We truly enjoyed our stay at the "Hoedenmaker". It was clean, quiet and comfortable. The location is walking distance from all there is to see in Bruges. We were made to feel very welcome. We were five and it offered a great allternative to hotels with all the ammenities. I recommend the Hoedenmaker.

Great stay in Bruges

We recently stayed at De Hoedenmaker for a week and absolutely loved it. The street is so very quiet (we slept in until 10 most days which is really remarkable for us) but the house is also a very short walk from the center of town. All the necessities were at the house and we immediately felt right at home. Having Tom's Diner so close was also great. We actually ordered in late one night after the kids were in bed and they brought our food to the house (it is only about 50 feet away). We parked out car about 10 minutes away at night and the walk was actually very enjoyable. I loved walking the cobblestone streets and looking at the houses and seeing the history there. We would love to stay again on our next trip to Bruges and although we were there for nearly a week there is much more to see.
