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.

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.

Updated Medieval Charm

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.

The best VRBO we've ever stayed in!

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.

Just Right

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!

Great host and fantastic little property

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.

Delightful Home in Ideal Location

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.

Relaxing Bruges

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.

Off the beaten track

This property was exactly as seen in the pictures. Unfortunately, the adjacent property is now boarded up and the one across the street is empty and for sale therefore the street lacks curb appeal. However, it is quiet and nice to be away from the busy city centre but only a 10 minute walk to get there. Also, Tom's diner is an amazing restaurant that is a stone's throw away. The inside of the property is also as pictured. We did find the stairway precarious as two of us have mobility issues. The beds and bedding were very comforable and the kitchen had what was needed for our stay. Pascal was very lovely and explained the area and attractions. He was also very accommodating with our check in process. Communication was excellent.

Perfect for Family Get Together

The location was perfect for us - in a quiet neighborhood and a short walk to the Markt area. The house was very comfortable and provided everything we needed for a group of 4 adults. The bathrooms and kitchen were modern and very clean (as was the rest of the house). The sitting room and patio were great places for us to gather and plan our day or enjoy a beer together in the afternoon. Our hosts were very friendly and took the time to provide advice on where to eat and places to see. I really appreciated that Pascal accommodated our needs and checked in with us throughout the week. A few additional details about the home … the beds were very comfortable and the bathroom was stocked with plenty of fresh towels. Large master bedroom. Note - the third bedroom is accessed through the master. The electronic lock at the front door eliminated the need to manage keys. It was a delightful stay and we highly recommend it to others!
