Chose Turnhout almost at random, just as an overnight stop-off en route from Rotterdam to Spa Francorchamps, and B&B De Hessie sounded good. So happy I made that choice. Katleen is great, really friendly. The apartment is self-contained, spacious and comfortable, open plan with kitchen/dining and lounge areas, and with a double bed on a kind of mezzanine. Having a separate room containing bunk beds it would be great for a family of four. Looks out through sliding glass doors over the donkey paddock and fields, quiet and peaceful. Donkeys!! Always a bonus! And breakfast was delicious. Off road parking, and around a 30 minute walk into town, probably a 5 minute drive. I was sorry to leave, and if I hadn't had somewhere already booked at my destination I think I would have stayed another couple of days to explore Turnhout. Hopefully I'll be back some day.

Couldn't fault it.

The Rural Chamber provides wonderful accommodation with plenty of room. Self contained studio with mini kitchen, dining table, sofa and mezzanine bedroom plus 2nd bunk bed room. Really peaceful and quiet environment with views across the fields past the donkey paddock from the patio doors. Great pellet stove with plentiful supply of pellets used to heat the space with a simple remote control operation. Was able to use the Wi-Fi connection daily to work remotely without any issues. Super tasty breakfasts provided by the B&B, highly recommended accommodation.

The bed and breakfast is located in a remote area, super quiet and beautiful. It is a resourceful place. The accommodation is quite big, and the host is really responsive and welcoming. Nice gesture with chocolates, coffee and tea in the bedroom. And the common area is really nice. Although there was no breakfast, the host made available granolas and teas. Perfect for me :)

Nothing really...

The spacious rooms, lovely kitchen, extra large bath, large windows with amazing view!

No wash hand basin in the (separate) toilet. Hand gel would have sufficed!

Absolutely loved the stay - the hosts are incredibly attentive and pleasant. The property itself is meticulously maintained, in a quiet location, and perfect for a little getaway. I'd love to stay there again.

the breakfast and quietness

a little bit outside the town, could be difficult when without car. I was also expecting a swimming pool.

It’s a quiet and spacious place. The hostess is very friendly and helpful! The breakfast was with high quality and variety. The outside at backside has a nice field view and with some animals. The inside room is in good size, and bath room is newly renovated and spacious.

almost nothing. maybe wifi could be a bit improved, as it needs sometimes login again and again.

everything was perfect, wonderful breakfast, hospitality and accommodation. loved the donkeys and the amazing pool and table tennis was a big hit with the kids. location perfect for short bike ride to canal and the town.

Very nice location for the company we visited , nice breakfast and very clean

Comfortable, quiet and calm

The sauna was not usable
