De Hoedenmaker was the best accomodation of our entire trip and Pascal is an outstanding host. The house is very family friendly, some toys for the kids to play, safety gates on the stairs, and crib and high-chair. Lots of tourist info and books to read. Easy walk to everything for sightseeing. Quiet location. Pascal welcomed us and gave us recommendations for things to see, places to eat, playground for the kids. Overall a fantastic experience. Highly recommended.

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.

Marvellous place to stay!

One of the best rentals I have stayed at. The owner met us at the station and then spent a quarter of an hour when in the property explaining where all the most remarkable sights in Bruges were, before leaving us to enjoy a tremendous week. The property is spotless and very tastefully decorated and close to the centre. Hope.to stay there again some day.

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 place to stay

Another Christmas weekend at this property having previously stayed there in 2016. Communication was great and access simple to this lovely house in a quiet residential area. It's only a short 10 minute walk to the centre with a Carrefour supermarket within a couple of minutes. Definitely our first choice to stay in Bruges.
