A charming, nature-inspired lodging on the Leopold Canal.

De Blinker is a charmingly decorated vacation rental that exudes tranquility and charm. A colorful flower-lined path leads you to the front door. It’s a split-level home; the owners live on the right, and on the left, the spacious “ vakantiewoning.Je ” features its own furnished terrace. In the garden, you’ll find cozy nooks with fruit trees, wildflowers, and herbs. The garden borders the walking path alongside the canal, where you can spot waterfowl, owls, buzzards, and songbirds. Do you enjoy biking and hiking? As a cyclist, hiker, and nature lover, you can thoroughly enjoy the many creeks hidden among the meadows and lined with sturdy knotwilgen.Je —the perfect spot for fishing or a picnic. You can start a bike ride right from our doorstep along the canal all the way to Damme or Bruges. A bike ride to Sluis or Cadzand is also an option. De Blinker is located about 20 km from the sea, 12 km from Sluis, 20 km from Bruges, and 35 km from Ghent. In the village, there’s a cozy brasserie where you can sit on the terrace or enjoy a light snack, but there are also plenty of charming little restaurants in the surrounding area. In the summer, the region hosts numerous flea markets. A leisurely stroll through the narrow alleys of Sluis or a walk along the ramparts makes for a lovely evening activity. The owner will do her best to help you with ideas to make your stay a fantastic memory. Forgot something at home? Maybe she has it lying around? Saskia will be waiting for you with a drink and a cookie, and a jar of homemade jam will be ready for you, too.
