Absolutely wonderful stay. Exceeded expectations. Not only the stunning property, which is very special, but the excellent location, close to everything you would want to see in Brugge. Most of all, I have to mention the absolutely lovely hosts. We were made so very welcome, and provided with a great overview of what to do and where to go in the city upon arrival. And the breakfast.... oh the breakfast! Good lord, it was wonderful. The hosts could not have been more helpful, kind, friendly or accommodating. It's one we will remember for a long time and certainly will be advising friends/ family to stay at if they are in Brugge. I don't tend to write a lot of reviews, but on behalf of me, my partner and the friends we were travelling, we wanted to share what a wonderful experience we had staying here.

I honestly can't think of a single thing.

In late January and early February we stayed at Samuel Coucke's house in the heart of Bruges, close to the Cathedral of St Salvatore. Despite its central location, the house and garden were surprisingly peaceful. The 19th-century building, which combines a 16th-century coaching inn with a 17th-century manor house, is a magnificent example of neo-Gothic architecture. Samuel Coucke, who bought and renovated the house in 1855, created stained glass windows for markets all over the world. Huis 't Schaep is now a luxurious private guest house offering a unique combination of boutique hotel amenities and personal touches. A delicious breakfast was served in a beautiful room with access to the impressive terrace that was once Samuel Coucke's own studio and reception area. The location was perfect, with the main attractions, shops and restaurants just a few steps away. John, our host, is a beautiful soul who truly loves this house and its neo-Gothic style. It was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend staying here if you are visiting Bruges.

Simply a great experience on a human and art level.

The room was beautifully decorated, with artfully restored works of the artisan who built the house (I think). It is very much in keeping with the church aethetic in the area. The location is brilliant - walking distance to everything, not that Brugge is a big city, but it's nice to be close to everything but far enough away to get a good night's kip. Breakfast was included, and more than kept us going well past lunchtime. It was served by the proprietor who was happy to give hints and tips on how to spend the day with suggestions for dinner. Water pressure was good, wifi was good, mattress was good, breakfast was good, location was good. 5/5 perfect.

Nothing

We both had a fantastic 3 nights here, John and Michael are the perfect hosts and provided a level of service beyond anything we had experienced before. They made our stay very special and we couldn't fault anything at all. The location is perfect being a short stroll from the train station and on a lovely quiet street but it is also right near the centre so everywhere is easily walkable. Breakfast was a real treat and so plentiful that we always left completely satisfied and full up! Highly recommended if you are planning a trip to beautiful Bruges.

Nothing, it was perfect.

We was upgraded to a Four Poster Suite which was really big and comfortable. The bed was so comfortable too. The breakfast was really lovely ,Toast, Fresh Pastries, Egg and Bacon, Cereal with yogurt and fruit. lovely coffee and fresh orange juice. The location was good, we parked our car in a nearby car park for the night at a cost of 18 euros then walked around 10 minutes to the hotel, Michael who greeted us was so nice he helped us by showing places to eat and of interest on a map, nothing was too much trouble for him very accommodating.

Nothing everything was fabulous

The place is beautiful, the location is central, and the staff are incredibly kind, generous, and caring. Me and my partner adored our stay and couldn't be happier with everything. The art on the walls, the beautiful fireplaces, the light and spacious bathrooms, the very scrummy breakfasts, and the ease of coming and going with the key code system. Wouldn't have changed a single thing about the place or our stay. Loved it all.

Honestly, I can't think of a single thing to write in this box. The lovely owners of the b&b don't deserve anything to be written in this box. They take great pride in their work and it shows very clearly.

The b&b was beyond any expectations! The furnishings were beautiful and the room was a wow! It was amazing and the pictures on the website are a true representation of the rooms. They were very clean, comfortable and luxurious. John was lovely and very welcoming. He made sure we knew he was always available for us. John mapped out places to eat and visit on a useful map. We tried to fit it all in! The breakfast was freshly cooked and faultless. If we went back to Brugge I’d definitely stay there again. Thank you John for an amazing stay in your home and b&b!!

There was absolutely nothing to not like. It was absolutely perfect! The best place I’ve ever stayed in.

We loved our stay at B&B Huis 'T Schaep! The location is perfect, a short walking distance to everywhere and very quiet, room is elegant and spacious, with old time charm and modern comfort, Michael is the best host, very kind and very knowledgeable, he went out of his way to help us. My husband was sick when we arrived, his wife made ginger tea for him, he rested very well while I go out to explore the city, and recovered when we left! The breakfast was absolutely delicious, Michael gave excellent recommendations to help plan out our days, my only regret is we couldn't stay for longer!

It was an exceptional experience to have the opportunity to stay at Huis’T Schaep. The building itself is very historical and has been maintained as an authentic part of Bruges’ history. The hosts Michael and his Brother John made us feel very welcome and were very passionate about helping us to enjoy our Bruges experience. They both speak many languages fluently and their recommendations of places and experiences were very much appreciated. We will definitely be returning. We cannot thank Michael enough and we will always remember their amazing hospitality.

Nothing at all. We highly recommend staying here

One of the nicest properties I have stayed at. My room, the Rubens, was absolutely beautiful and the largest I’ve ever stayed in. Classic 19th century furnishings and decor, yet the bathroom was large and modern. Breakfast is first rate, with different fresh fruit each day and fresh squeezed orange juice. Michael and his wife were unfailingly helpful and kind, with great recommendations for restaurants and the sites. Michael was also great to chat with about the topics of the day. This B&B is radically underpriced for what it is. I’ve been to luxury hotels that don’t compare. Excellent location.

For those with mobility problems, request the rooms on the first floor. The stairs to the second floor are quite steep and narrow. They weren’t a problem for me.
