I was looking for a place to stay in Brugge and stumbled across the recommendation from the folks at Hertog Jan. looking at the pictures and doing some research it definitely looked like a good price performance value.
When I drove into town, it started to rain. I found some parking nearby and a lady helped me out with the parking meter. We had a quick discussion about San Francisco, how much she loved it and wished me a good time in Belgium. I made my way to the B&B and was greeted by Thierry the owner. He showed me around and gave me the lowdown on my room. He had purchased the house a few years ago to live in and then realized it was to big and decided to make a bed and breakfast. The space is gorgeous. I dont think the pictures do it justice. Large, rooms, a garden, and stylish interior design all around.
In stayed in two different rooms over non contiguous nights and both spaces were fantastic. I tended to stay out late and would usually miss the breakfast hours. So Thierry, would pack me a sandwich and baked goods before i got up and would send me off to discover Belgium with food. How's that for hospitality? Most places if you miss the hours that's that. Thierry went out of the way to make sure i was fed. That's above and beyond.
I dont have enough good things to say about both the space and especially the owner. If you plan on staying in Brugge, i highly recommend this B&B. you'd be pretty hard pressed to do better for the price. An extraordinary value all around. read more
