Quick walk from the train station and easy walk to the city center! Nestled on a little street with a beautiful canal behind. We only had one day & evening in Brugge, but this wonderful space made us comfortable as did our hosts who were helpful and welcoming from start to end. The room was very nicely appointed and very clean. Comfortable bed!!Highly recommend!!

Two seniors on an adventure

This lovely home and garden are in a perfect location to explore Bruges and surrounding towns. The place is immaculately clean and very comfortable. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. We even got to see them in concert! I highly recommend this place!

Merveillieux!

We had a wonderful stay here. Our hosts are the nicest people! Everything you could possibly need & spotlessly clean, warm, comfy & bright. A stone's throw from all amenities & sites - but quiet and with a view over the garden where you can spot woodpeckers & a plethora of other birds. We heartily recommend this hidden gem to everyone 🤗

Beautiful & Charming

The place is near the Minnewater - you can hear the birds chirping all day. The host, Katrien is amazing and the place has all the needs for your stay. The walk to the historic Markt etc is very short. Clean, neat, and charming. Highly recommend to anyone who is coming alone.

Tranquil haven, close to city

Hidden Gem is the perfect description. Clean, quality,homely setting. Bed and furnishings very comfortable.. whilst at the residence you would not know you were so close to the hustle and hustle of Brugge. Lovely stroll into city appreciating the architecture. A city break witha homely touch to rest from the day, revitalising in the most peaceful setting, ready to start again. So many beautiful touches from Katrien, who is the hidden gem. We definitely want to return, cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you Katrien for our wonderful stay

Die gesamte Kommunikation mit unserer Gastgeberin war sehr schnell, aufmerksam und hilfreich. Die Ferienwohnung war sehr sauber und einladend.Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt und ich kann siemir weiter empfehlen. Die Lage ist außerdem sehr zentral und die Altstadt in wenigen Minuten gu zu Fuß erreichbar. Wir wurden sehr herzlich begrüßt und haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt. Danke noch einmal an unsere Gastgeberin für dieses schöne Erlebnis

Superbe cocon

Superbe chambre au calme et idéalement située pour découvrir Bruges à pied. On a adoré notre passage chez Katrien, qui a été vraiment super durant notre passage. Seul regret, ne pas avoir pu rester plus longtemps, mais ce n’est que partie remise ;)

dichtbij centrum en toch rustig

Erg fijne dagen gehad. Het centrum is op loopafstand, en toch is het lekker rustig op de kamer. Zeer goede faciliteiten en een aardige hostess. Er werd ook enthousiast en alert gereageerd op onze suggestie om een koelkastje beschikbaar te maken. Een paar uur later stond die er. Helemaal goed!
