Read More...A clean and tidy home with a delightful garden set in a quiet residential area, whilst only round the corner from a regular 10-15 bus ride into the centre of Bruges. Also a handy small supermarket nearby ideal at the end of the day. A lovely supper awaited us with wine and Belgian beer. Other interesting places to visit are nearby such as Ypres and coastal towns. Our house was spotless on our return.

Read More...We had a splendid time in this generous house with its well tended garden. Apart from relaxing there we found this place ideal for exploring attractive locations around such as Brugge, Damme and Sluis (NL) by bicycle along idyllic cycle paths or getting in a few minutes to the seaside. We will gladly remember this joyful time.

Read More...We have spent two splendid weeks in Bruge. The house is in a very quiet area, and at the same time with easy reach to Bruge, Gent, Antwerp, Brussels and Holland. Lovely area to cycle around the countryside as there are a great amount of cycling routes and all flat and well indicated. Highly recommended.

We certainly made the most of the proximity to Brugges although a day visit to Ghent was well worth the trip.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
We live in Bruges, also Antwerp, Gent and Brussels are not far away (between 30 min to 1.5 hour by train). All world famous cities with a lot of culture.
Our house is situated in a quiet suburb from which you can reach the historical centre of Bruges by bus (15 min), by bike (15 min) or by car (5 min, but you have to find a parking place). Also Damme, the medieval harbour of Bruges, is only 3 km away.
Our coast (a 30 min ride, also easy to reach by train) has beautiful sandy beaches.
