One of the best holiday stays

Barbara’s house is one of the best holiday rentals we’ve stayed in. A charming, beautifully presented house, perfectly located in the old town. Just a few mins walk to the centre but also in a quiet street away from the crowds. We couldn’t have asked for anything better for our few days exploring beautiful Bruges. We especially loved the little courtyard. Barbara was lovely and welcoming and had excellent communication. Highly recommend.

Lovely house in the middle of Bruges

We spent a few days in the house, which is absolutely perfect for a stay in Bruges. The interior style is very tasteful, perfectly suited to the very old house, but nevertheless modern. It is fully equipped and is situated very centrally, so you can easily explore Bruges on foot from there. There are car parks in the immediate vicinity (we had pre-booked the t'Zand car park. Its level C2 entrance/exit is 3 minutes from the house).The landlords are extremely nice and courteous, and dealing with them is very straightforward. An absolute recommendation!

Lovely stay in a lovely house

We had a wonderful stay in this beautifully decorated house. The hosts could not have been more helpful. It is so well situated, close to everything. The outside space really makes the stay complete. Just a few tiny extras would be useful, like a washing up brush, a rubbish bin and a half decent coffee machine, but these are tiny details in an otherwise great stay

Lovely, conveniently located traditional house

Lovely little house in an exceptional location. Only ten minute walk from the train station and minutes walk from the centre of Bruges.Though the property is on a certain generation so stairs are very steep, the roof is low in the top floor bedroom and property is quite cold. We visited in the middle of winter and it was a very cold couple of days and we struggled to heat the property up. This was the only reasn for the slight mark down.

Perfect stay!

Our family of four (w/ older teens) stayed in this beautiful home just before Christmas. The location is perfect, just close enough to the train station to roll your luggage and about 10 minutes or less walk to most everywhere else. The rooms are beautiful and decorated in a contemporary cottage style. The bathroom is extremely elegant in classic marble, and there is also a powder room in the entry. We enjoyed the gas fire and had no trouble with the radiators. It was no problem for us, but do know that both flights of stairs are very steep and require caution. Thank you for sharing this treasure with Bruges tourists!

Amazing stay

Our stay was amazing! The location was amazing, the house was so cute! All the beautiful details were so lovely and well thought out. The stairs were definitely tricky with the bags but luckily I had read in another review to expect them. Loved the use of the fireplace! Mare it so cozy after a cold day of wandering the city. Plus the family who own this place were so helpful, promote and so kind. I highly recommend this place.

“The Holiday” Cottage!

This charming cottage was right out of the Christmas movie “The Holiday.” Each little touch was more magical than the next. I loved the traditional decor and the typical Bruges loft with narrow staircases. The beds were very comfortable, and the home was immaculate! The location could not have been better… Five minute walk to all of the action, but far enough away for quiet evenings and mornings. I would highly recommend staying here while touring the beautiful and medieval city of Bruges.

This location was close to everything my wife & I wanted to visit in Bruges. The apartment was lovely & exactly as described on VRBO. Our only concern is that we like to sleep with windows open & the street where the apartment is located was somewhat noisy on occasion at night.

Lovely and charming

Wonderful home that reflects the city. You leave the classic city of Brugge and arrive home in this classic 18th Century apartment, so there is no end to the beauty. Wonderful and kind, Barbara is the best kind of host. Very responsive. We have stayed in many VRBOs over the last two decades. This one is the best.

Great location and beautiful apartment

We had a great stay, Barbara meet us on arrival and gave us a tour of the place. We had a car and were able to drop all our luggage then park it at the train station, a ten minute walk away, it was very convenient. Only down side was the mosquitoes, due to the weather, it was very hot so we had to have the windows open and we’re bitten alive throughout the first night. We ended up at the pharmacy the next day and she informed us that in the inner city mosquitoes are very bad and we had to buy repent for the second night. We shut all the windows and sprayed ourselves but there were still a few mosquitoes, luckily the temperature had dropped, so the two fans provided did help to keep us cool. Overall though the place was great, it was beautifully decorated and had great charm.
