The property was absolutely stunning and the house was adorable. Rabbits came to the door and the sunrise was beautiful. We did however, have concern with the hosts communication. There was no soap available after we finished what little was left. We had planned on riding bikes into Bruges but the tires were not fully filled with air and the air pump was difficult to use. We felt everything should have been ready to use. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay.

Ideal locatiom close to Canal and in turn access to Bruge. Facilities close by with shops, supermarket and bar. But if also wanting too get away from it all, would also prove ideal, with cosy feel and all you could need in the accommodation. Lovely big garden, with views and log burner for those cosy evenings in, we loved our stay there.

Really lovely stay at a great property! So nice to head back home to such a peaceful place after a busy day of exploring. The house itself is great and has everything you need - comfy sofas, smart TV, equipped kitchen, comfy beds and a great bathroom. The grounds are fantastic, and we spent some lovely times having drinks in the garden, playing with our dog and enjoying the views. A couple of suggestions for others visiting: - if you are sensitive to light in the morning, you may want to bring an eye mask as there are no blinds on the windows opposite the main bedroom.- the stairs up to the bedrooms are steep and wooden. We put some carpet squares on them during our stay to make them less slippy. In summary, we had a fantastic stay, and would definitely visit again!

Peaceful and cosy

We spent 4 nights over Christmas at the property and had a lovely time. It is in a great location to explore the area, close to the motorway, but in a quiet rural area surrounded by fields. The property is well equipped and has a great kitchen with a fantastic oven. We didn't really make the most of the garden due to it being cold and damp but it was nice to have a safe enclosed space for our dog to explore. It would be a great place to relax in the summer.We made good use of the log burner which made the place really warm and cosy. The only thing I would point out is that the stairs to the bedrooms are very steep and more like a ladder, with no handrail on one side. It maybe a good idea to have a picture of these on the listing or at least mention them in the description, as someone with limited mobility or very small children may struggle.

A lovely escape to the country

This is a beautiful accommodation in a beautiful setting. The description is correct in noting the "eye for detail": the interior decor is stunning. The loft / open concept was ideal for my husband, son and I and the location allowed for daytrips to Bruges, Ghent as well as some cycling along the canal (although the bicycles are in need of some maintenance).

Tranquil stay close to Bruges

We enjoyed our stay in this unusual property in a tranquil location. It is very well equipped and everything we needed was there! We loved the bikes and we used them to cycle the 13km along the river bank to the centre of Bruges.

Rest and Relax in the Countryside

This is a great house to rest and relax. It is in a great location that makes it easy to get to the beach and surrounding towns. We loved the alpaca neighbors next door and walked into town for a fun food truck rally. It was a nice weekend out of the city.

Great place to explore the Flanders region.

We had a great stay for a week at the house. It was very well presented with all amenities you would expect. The kitchen/living area was very stylish and also very easy to use. It's rare to go to a house in another country without really struggling to use the kitchen equipment (in particular the oven), but this wasn't the case here. The bathroom was really good with a fantastic shower. The wi-fi worked well. The living area was very comfortable, we enjoyed spending evenings sat inside or having a meal outside when the weather was good. The grounds were lovely and our son particularly enjoyed the trampoline. The location was very good, with easy access to all of the Flanders region by car, bus or rail. If you really wanted to cycle around the area, there were some bikes available (in excellent condition). We wouldn't hesitate to recommend and we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if we were in the area.

Lovely property

It's a nice place in a lovely, quiet spot. It would be especially nice in summer, when you could eat outside and enjoy the views. I give this 4 stars instead of 5 for two reasons: 1. It is listed as a two-bedroom facility, but it is not. It is a one-room cabin with an open loft. The bathroom is private, but the two "bedrooms," located upstairs, are only separated by a saloon-style swinging door. Indeed, you have to walk through one to get to the other (e.g., to go the bathroom at night), and anything said or done in one can be readily heard. 2. The stairs that lead to the loft are more like a ladder than stairs. VERY steep and shallow, and no hand rail on the open side. Hard to get luggage upstairs, and could be dangerous for seniors, young children, etc. If those are not a problem for you, then this is a good place.

Great property with easy access (by car) to Bruges and Ghent. Nice big yard for the pets and kids.

Great property. Positives: stylish but also fully functional kitchen, good furniture, great enclosed yard for kids and pets, fireplace with lots of wood, plenty of water and great water pressure in the shower, easy drive to Bruges and Ghent. Negatives: steep stairs to loft, very warm in loft if there is any amount of heat on in the lower level.

Dreamy modern cottage in the country

This cottage was rustic on the outside and modern on the inside, and it was nestled in the cozy Belgian countryside. Lots of amenities and a full kitchen made it a comfortable, lovely vacation spot. It came with a crib, which was helpful. The 2 beds are both in the loft, and while there's a visual divide between bed areas, there's no sound divide. So if you're looking for some private time, that's good to know! Be sure to factor in time checking in and out to drop off the key at the host's home, which is a few minutes away.

Relaxing setting! Perfect for young family with children. Bring your own soap and shampoo even if for 1-2 nights. Kitchen has everything needed. Be prepared to climb ladder type steps to sleeping area in loft. Trees with apples and and grapes on the vines! Pond water very low and may need insect repellant due to mosquitoes, Bed very comfortable. Love the cows and fenced in yard.

Relaxing in style

The home was lovely and very stylish. The shower is amazing! Bedding was comfortable though the stairs are slightly intimidating at first to go up to the bedrooms. As many have stated there isn’t privacy that many are accustomed to since you have to walk through one bedroom to get to the loft area. If you’re with family or friends like family there’s no issue. The furnishings are very well done and we were impressed with the quality of everything. Even had bikes for us to use in the shed. Made for a fun journey to and around Brugge. Joke is super easy to communicate with and very welcoming. She saw how tired we were from a long flight and drive so she gave us a little extra treat of a couple of Belgium beers and sparkling wine. Looking out to see the cows and being able to feed the fish in the pond was a bonus. We’d love to come back and enjoy this home again!

Près de l’historique ville de Brugges, on peut facilement visiter plusieurs sites et monuments dans les alentours. Joke est accueillante et disponible en tout temps. Le calme règne à Carpe Diem.
