'De Hoedenmaker': Cosy 17th century Flemish House in historical centre of Bruges

We loved the whole property - wonderful to stay somewhere with such history & personality! It was beautifully kept, sparklingly clean (with very comfy beds and an awesome shower!) and in an ideal location for walking to everything. We really liked being able to pop in and out of the centre as and when we needed to, because with young kids, having some time to chill in our own space is important. Pascal is the absolute most helpful host ever! His 'inside knowledge' was great - and we felt we saw a lot of real Bruges because of his help & ideas. He knew plenty of things for the kids to do, too - we can't wait to come back and see the area around Bruges, too. Still so much to visit and enjoy! Thank you Pascal.

Had a wonderful time and made lots of memories!!!! Would be very happy to recommend!!

Great Hosts. Great location. Property had everything we needed. Highly recommended.

Lovely stay at this property in Brugge. The owner met us and shared some helpful info, and provided some tasty treats. The unit was exceptionally clean. It was very quiet overall - no noise from neighbors, and a very quiet street. (We only heard a couple people walking down the street, and only on Saturday night). We slept very very well. The beds and pillows were very comfortable and my two teens appreciated having their own spaces. Kitchen was well equipped for simple meals, and the washer and dryer worked well and were helpful to have. The neighborhood had a lot of character and it was an easy walk to the city center. The train station was a 25 minute scenic walk. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again. Thank you.

We had a fantastic stay in this property. Pascal was very welcoming and helpful. The property is comfortable, well equipped and in a great central location.

Fantastic apartment although access to third bedroom not ideal. Great location and Pascal is a fabulous host.

Good location - 4 or 5 blocks from the Market Square but on a quiet street. The house was clean with a modern kitchen & bathroom. Pascal met us and offered his tips & recommendations for seeing Bruges. My friends & I enjoyed our stay.

I can’t recommend this home enough! Brilliant location! So close to the main squares but far enough away for it to be quiet. Pascal met us at his lovely home and showed us round. He gave us some very useful tips for restaurants, tourist sights and trips. He even took us to the supermarket so we wouldn’t get lost. Pascal and his property are a fabulous choice. Clean and comfortable, everything you need on hand. We’d love to revisit.

Great location, lovely property

Kitchen is well equipped

We had a fantastic stay in this beautiful house in Bruges. The whole place was ours, and it was located in a very quiet area, which made it perfect for relaxing. Everything was really well thought out, the whole house was super clean, and we felt completely at home.The bathroom was a real highlight, and the small courtyard was great for having breakfast. The rooms were nicely decorated and very comfortable. With beautiful view from the windows. The host was super friendly and gave us great local tips that really enhanced our trip.Bruges was amazing – and staying here made it even better. Highly recommended!

This was my second stay at this property. The first was with my elderly parents and this time with my wife and teenage daughters. Both times we found the property to be a nicely updated medieval cottage with everything we needed. It is a short walk from the town center, but is situated on a quiet street. There are several great restaurants nearby. The owner greeted us when we arrived and gave us a thorough introduction to the property and town. We loved it both times.

My family of 5 stayed for 3 nights, and we all agreed Pascal's place was amazing! It was spacious and comfortable. I especially enjoyed the patio area at breakfast time. We loved being in a quiet area that was still close enough to walk to everything.

Such a wonderful place and location! It was perfect for a small family

Very clean property, good location and friendly host.

Just a 10 minute walk from town center, spotlessly clean, and comfortable beds. Pascal was very friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about the area. One of my top VRBO experiences.

We had the most lovely stay at De Hoedenmaker! Pascal was incredibly helpful and generous with his travel advice and area recommendations for food, sightseeing, etc. We had our 6 and 4 year old in tow and the house suited us perfectly. It was stocked and well appointed and very comfortable. Perhaps most of all the location is just ideal - steps from the bustle of the city but tucked in a true residential area. A gem not to be missed. We can't wait to return!

Pascal was great, he communicated well and was helpful prior to arrival. The property is in a quiet area but literally minutes from the busy streets, which is nice relief from the crowds. So great suggestions for restaurants on Du Phare on the outer ring mostly locals and food excellent-our favourite of the trip. Pascal even came to pick us up at the station as he knew it was very busy. He checked us in and took time to point out attractions and places of interest. a very enjoyable Christmas stay.

Charming and comfortable, De Hoedenmaker was the perfect place to stay on my first visit to Bruges. Pascal met us to orient us to the house and the city, and made great recommendations. The historic house is beautifully appointed and had everything we needed, including very comfortable beds and plenty of towels. The terrace was a lovely place to sit and enjoy a meal. The location was quiet yet close to the major attractions and beautiful canals. I would highly recommend this property and would definitely stay here again. Great property, great host.

The house is beautiful, full of character and in a great, quiet location close to a supermarket and easy to get to the wonderful sights of Bruges. The host was very helpful and easy to communicate with.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed staying in this beautiful home while visiting Bruges. We were so close to the center of town and walked everywhere in Bruges from there. The house was spotless and comfortable. Our host, Pascal, gave us lots of recommendations for meals and sight seeing. I highly recommend this property.
