The hosts are perfectly attentive with very clear instructions and a welcoming arrival. Our boys especially looked forward to seeing the alpacas and chickens in the morning before we headed out for the day, and finding a fresh supply of food for us to feed to the alpacas left outside our front door, like a daily surprise, added to their excitement. Overall, can’t speak highly enough for the consideration given by the hosts to making the property a comfortable, special and memorable place to stay. ##### Kate Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lord G. Oct 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Quite possibly the best rental we've ever had. Beautifully designed and finished, well equipped and thoughtfully laid out. Geert and Carine were very welcoming and helpful. A lovely quiet location in countryside yet only 15 mins from Bruges and 10 mins from Damme. Hyper comfortable bed and without question the best shower/bathroom ever. Such a great delight to find and more than lived up to expectations. ##### Lord G. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jens O.
