Excellent B&B in Bruges. Only four rooms, so make sure to book early. Michael is incredibly helpful & nice. The building is historic (as all buildings are in Bruges), but this place had some extra historic touches. It was owned many years (centuries) ago by a renowned stain glass maker and the rooms & building has retained many of the windows & antiques from Bruges of the past. We even had a stunning stained glass window of a previous Pope in our bathroom of all places!
The room (Coucke Suite) was large, spotlessly clean and well decorated to make you think that you had stepped into the past. At the same time, the Huis 't Schaep has all of the modern conveniences for the 21st century traveler, including free wi-fi, a modern shower and keyless locks to both the rooms & the front door (you enter with a four digit code).
Second floor lounge room with enough room to spread out and a 'honor bar' where you can get any sort of beverage (water, soda, beer, liquor or wine) at very good prices. We were only sad we were there in January, so we couldn't take advantage of their outdoor patio off of the lounge.
Breakfast was excellent and cooked to order depending on where you are traveling from and your preferences. Fresh squeezed orange juice.
Staying at Huis 't Schaep definitely improved our experience in Bruges. Very close walk to anywhere you want to go in Bruges, but just off the main area so you can relax (slightly) away from the hustle and bustle of the most frequented areas until you are refreshed and ready to enjoy all that Bruges has to offer. read more
