Bruges
Five rooms in an old Bruges house, and a garden behind the wall.
In the film: the Beguinage in April, eleven minutes' walk from the house.
The house
A narrow Bruges house with a stair that creaks on the third step, a small lift, and a garden at the back that you cannot see from the street.
The canal is at the front, the walled garden and its pear tree at the back. In between are five rooms on four floors, and no two are alike. So for every room we tell you what you will see, what you will hear and how many steps you will climb.
Downstairs is the sitting room. In the morning the long table is laid there for breakfast; in the evening there is a bottle of wine on the sideboard, and you mark down what you pour.

- By bike
- Your bike is locked away in the yard, next to the garden.
- Check-in and out
- Check-in from 3 pm. Check-out by 11 am, or by noon if you book with us directly.
- Arriving late
- After 10 pm your key waits in a small safe by the door. We send you the code on the day you arrive.
- Luggage
- After check-out we keep your cases until your train leaves.
- Stairs and lift
- The lift goes to the second floor. The Garden room is on the ground floor, without a single step.

From reception
Dear guest,
Coming for a birthday, or looking for a room for three that you do not see above? Do write to us. We reply the same day, usually within the hour.
And if you ask us for a restaurant, we will give you two, and tell you which table to ask for.
