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.

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.

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.

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.

This beautifully updated 17th century apartment could not have been nicer and the location was terrific. Pascal met us and gave us really good information about Bruges and the surrounding area. We would absolutely stay here again.

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.

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!

We all loved our stay in Bruges and renting Pascal’s house made it even more special. So clean and comfortable. The location of the house is perfect for easy access to everything but being away from any street noise made it perfect for us. Pascal himself is so friendly and helpful. We ate at a lovely Italian restaurant ‘Trattoria Murano’ nearby and could highly recommend ‘House of Waffles’ for a special brunch. We would love to return to lovely Bruges and this lovely house. Thank-you.

Pascal is an amazing host. He spent the extra time with us as a ‘tourist info centre’ - Perfect!! House was comfortable and a wonderful space to start and end your days. Would gladly stay here again 😊 Thank you

First, the obvious: Bruges is amazing, and the house location is almost impossible to beat— central, comfortable and quiet. All the sites are no more than a ten-minute walk, with grocery stores and bakeries just a couple of minutes away. Pascal is a gem. He is friendly and truly wants his VRBO guests to have the best possible Bruges experience. He is knowledgeable, kind, and quick to respond to questions and problems (not that we had any of the latter- everything was perfect). We loved staying here and were sorry to leave.

Lovely house, warm vibes. Quiet and comfortable. Great bathroom! Easy walk to square. Pascal very helpful.

This house is perfect for two couples, or two couples and two additional children - as the third attic bedroom is up a stairwell through the master bedroom - which makes adult nighttime bathroom runs tricky. All the beds are comfortable, the house is spotless, the linens are nice and the master bath is lovely. And, dealing with Pascal is so easy; he is generous with his knowledge of Bruges!

We stayed here as the first leg of a 22 day Belgium Netherlands tour. It could not have been easier. Our host, Pascal kept in good communication with us as we arrived by train. He even went out of his way to pick us up at the train station. This was unexpected, but very welcome. We were warmly received with some nice local treats after informative conversation of the area. Pascal is very knowledgeable about the area and could easily be a tour guide. The house was clean, tidy and very comfortable...just a short walk to the centre of town. Loved it. Love Brugges.

Simply amazing! Pascal is incredibly thoughtful! Some yummy beer in the fridge for my Husband (Belgium Beer Lover), time was spent going over the map,explaining historical sites, yummy restaurants and just the best way to get around. The space worked perfectly for our fam of five to sleep, eat and be merry! So grateful for our time in this lovely city and to have a "home" to come home to after our full days of adventures! We would love to return in the future! Cheers!

overall very good, the owner controls the room temperature and it was overly cool much of the time. The location was good. The owner was helpful in showing us things to see and do.

The property is a three bedroom historic home in a quiet street just a ten minute walk from the market square. The walk is a very beautiful one, as is every walk in the historic centre of Bruges. The house had everything our group of 6 needed and was warm and comfortable. If we had wanted to cook our own food the kitchen had everything we would have needed. Overall a very pleasant stay in a characterful property.

One of the most beautiful places I have stayed. Perfect location and amazing host. He spent time showing us what we should see and places to eat. He listened to what we were interested in and gave us personalized recommendations. Great communication and accurate description of accommodation and amenities. Everything was beautiful, comfortable and the host put thought into what a renter may need.

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.

We had a wonderful 5-night stay in Bruges at this charming home. The neighborhood was very quiet but within a short walk to the city center and all activities. Pascal provided us with excellent dinner recommendations and met us at the home to make sure we had everything we needed. There is a grocery store just a short walk away with everything you need for your stay. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom is large and modern. I would highly recommend this home.

This is a beautiful house, very well equipped, clean and homely. There were guidebooks for us, and games for our son. We were welcomed with some little treats to eat/drink. Pascal met us at the property and was very friendly and helpful with advice about Bruges. The house is very well situated within a short walk to the centre of town but in a really peaceful area. I would thoroughly recommend this property to others.
