Close to town, super comfortable, cute and quiet
We stayed here three nights with two teenagers. The house is in a quiet and cute neighborhood, very close to the city center. The house has everything you need and is very comfortable for four people. The third bedroom is a loft above the master, so perfect for children but I would not recommend for an extra couple. Pascal gives great local tips on where to eat and to get beer and chocolate. Bruges is a beautiful town, to avoid the crowds, just walk two streets away form the main streets, it will be as pretty but more quiet. We loved our dinner at ‘t Gezelleke on Carmerstraat. Make sure to take the Gouden-Handrei Canal on your way to the restaurant because cars are not allowed here this it is quiet and pretty. The restaurant has something for everybody but they also serve more authentic Belgian food and they have a few very good local beers. It has a nice local feel, not touristy even though many tourists seem to eat here. For chocolate: Pascal’s family owns a very good chocolate store next to the Burg Square and it is very reasonably priced. So highly recommend it. For very high quality and high prices! go to Pralinette in De Wollestraat. Also try the hot chocolate cappucino here, a nice experience. We also bought and tasted the best cookies ever next door at Juliette. Don’t skip this one if you are close by! We highly recommend this house! The location is perfect and the house very nice.
Marvellous place to stay!
One of the best rentals I have stayed at. The owner met us at the station and then spent a quarter of an hour when in the property explaining where all the most remarkable sights in Bruges were, before leaving us to enjoy a tremendous week. The property is spotless and very tastefully decorated and close to the centre. Hope.to stay there again some day.
Wonderful stay
De Hoedenmaker is a lovely cosy house in a great location. We really enjoyed our stay. Pascal was so helpful and gave us great recommendations. I would definitely stay there again.
Great little house with character and charm - ideal for our family break.
We had a great time in Bruges whilst staying in this property. The facilities were good and Pascal was helpful. Grandparents, parents and young children all enjoyed the stay. Toys provided for the kids (5, 3 and 6 months) were particularly welcome. The kitchen was sufficient to prepare evening meals for 6 and the laundry room helped us to keep on top of the washing.
Only point to note if you are not a family is that the room with 2 single beds is accessed via the main bedroom and is on a kind of mezz floor. Great for us but maybe less so for 3 couples.
Overall we really enjoyed our stay - can recommend books & brunch and chez vincent for lunch times - the children loved the canals and the windmills and there is a small playground less than 5 mins away which was good fun.
Hope to visit again..
Lovely, well-maintained historical building.
I have visited Brugge at least 14 times. In the early days we relied primarily on hotels. Over the years we have begun using apartments, including renovated buildings from the 17th Century. De Hoedenmaker is the best we have found. The modern interior was well executed and all of our 6 adults really liked the building, its interior and the location of the building in Brugge. It was a great home base for each of the 3 couples to go to different parts of Brugge, then to return for communal meals and meetings. The kitchen is well-equipped and we all enjoyed stepping out to the outdoor patio. The owner was a treasure trove of local information and history. I will be recommending it to friends.
Perfect!
This house was the perfect home away from home during our stay in Bruges. The owner Pascal went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and more! Nicely furnished and secure. It is located just a short walk from everything yet out of the tourist hustle. Great local restaurants just steps away. I highly recommend De Hoedenmaker and hope to return one day soon.
