The people who ran the hotel were wonderful - very friendly, helpful and generous. When we arrived, we were immediately invited to sit with them and their friends for a coffee, a glass of wine and nibbles, and shown around the place. Dinner, prepared by Bart, the owner, was excellent, as was the breakfast the next day. We can honestly say that our stay at 't Zwaluwnest was one of the best and most memorable in all of our travelling experiences. Many thanks to Bart and Razade for making this such an excellent visit.

Nothing!

Unbelievable, Bart is an exceptional host and talent. One word sums him up, passionate. It’s so obvious that he is completely committed to ensuring you are comfortable and happy. The absolute highest praise must go to the unbelievable food. It is the highest quality and an example of fine cuisine. Totally unexpected!! The property is unique and beautiful and Bart shows the highest standards in everything he does. Go, have dinner! I assure you from the bottom of my heart you won’t be disappointed.

Nothing really.

The property is beautiful and in an stunning setting The hosts were amazing so kind and helpful.

The outside areas of property could be cleaner and I don’t want to disrespect the wonderful hosts in any way. The outside areas such as hammocks and seating areas were in need of a clean. We would have used the sun beds and hammocks in the garden close to our room but they were a bit grubby. If the hosts addressed these little details on cleanliness this would be outstanding and such a beautiful stay. I would highly recommend their new glamping pod it’s is beautiful.

Breakfast is fresh (pancakes, eggs with bacon, fruit), delicious and a lot. A huge area and our dog enjoyed running around freely. Dinner is very delicious too. Bart is very accommodating. We didn't reserve but we could still eat if we wanted which we did.

We opened the window as it's warm and we invited mosquitoes into the room.

The location is awesome, the atmosphere is absolutely relaxed and the food!!! Breakfast buffet is included with the rooms. We also opted for the wine&diner arrangement. Yummy food, nice informal setting with other guests in an open space area where Bart cooks.

Beds are too soft for our preference but in the end matras preference is personal so this is not intended as complaint!

Everything about the stay was perfect. The property is situated in beautiful countryside and the bedrooms are large and decorated to a high standard. The hosts, Razade and Bart, are very welcoming and kind. The breakfast substantial and excellent quality.. There are footpaths among the fields to walk the dog. Close proximity to local restataurants, Ypres and all the War memorials/museums. The property itself was utilised as the British Command Post in WW1, and Bart is happy to show you the arial photographs, relics of weaponary etc.

The stay was perfect. No improvement necessary.

The food was excellent, lovely breakfast served by an open log fire. We had an exceptional dinner, prepared by Bart and his wonderful wife. A truly fantastic experience. Great little swimming pool, lovely countryside, peaceful, exciting and totally relaxing. Just what was needed.

There is nothing to do better, oh yes stay there again.

We stayed at 't zwaluwnest for one night after a long three days travelling from Latvia with our two cats and heading back to the uk for the start of a new military posting. As we drew up we just knew that this was going to be a real treat of a place to stay and we weren’t disappointed. Bart and his wife were very friendly and accommodating and we were made very welcome. We’d asked if the cats could stay in the rooms with us and that wasn’t a problem. We had messaged beforehand if we could possibly have dinner, not realising then that Bart is a wonderful chef and teaches at the Flanders culinary arts centre which is situated in the former Three-Michelin-Star restaurant 'De Karmeliet’ in the centre of Bruges. Sadly for us Bart was teaching early the next morning, so it wasn’t possible this time, but we will be back to sample Bart’s culinary prowess very soon. We had a lovely apartment to relax in and eat cheese, bread and drink nice wine, with happy cats, what more could you want! My husband is a British army officer so he was very interested to find out that the farm had been a British command post in WW1. Bart showed us a lot of artefacts he had found in the fields which was so interesting and made us more determined that we’d stay there again when we come across to do some battle field tours. We ended our lovely stay with a wonderful early breakfast, as the sun was raising, in front of their huge fireplace which Bart had kindly lit for us and we delighted in a variety of homemade bread, jam, apple juice and local products, not to mention fantastic coffee!! We can’t recommend visiting Bart and his wonderful farm/ vineyard enough.

That we didn’t have the chance to sample the wonderful food, but will do next time.

Very quiet place, surrounded by nature. The owner Bart and his wife are very kind and friendly people. Bart is also a chef and can prepare very good meals on request, we really enjoyed the dinner.

It would be better to have a good wifi connection also inside the rooms.

If you’re looking for a plush hotel with carpets and all matching accessories, don’t come here. If you’re looking for somewhere completely different with loads of room and a quiet location, this is for you. It’s good to get away from everything and relax in peace and quiet. Quirky would be a good word for this accommodation. We really enjoyed it.
