The property is in a quiet location yet close to restaurants and cafes and an easy walk to the main square and the bus stop if you need to get from/to the railway station. It’s an out of the ordinary B&B with warm and delightful hosts. Both Erika and Dietrich are very helpful with suggestions for places to visit and where to dine or shop from. The breakfast is plentiful and has lots of variety, happy to help with dietary requirements and E is an excellent cook! She delights in providing a little surprise every morning. The house is very clean, my room was spacious and had a great walk in shower, 3 other rooms have lovely baths with hand held shower heads, the 5th bedroom also has a shower. Each room has coffee/tea making facilities and they provide you with little treats. Sitting and chatting around the breakfast table with the other guests was also a very pleasant experience. And the company of their little friendly puppy Flanelle was a bonus! There is also a private sauna and spa/hot tub if you wish to use it at extra cost.

Nothing, all was great! (Except it was hard to get an early start to the day as we were all made so comfortable around the breakfast table! 😄)

Everything about this little gem in Bruges was exceptional! The hosts, Erika and Dietrich, were so gracious and helpful and literally went out of their way to help us. We stayed for three nights and were sad to leave their B&B with its convenient location, fabulous decor, comfortable room, welcoming touches, and most especially the amazing breakfasts at their large antique farm table! The food offerings each morning of fresh breads and pastries, cheese and meats, fruit and yogurt etc were beautifully laid out, and then there was always a daily extra special breakfast item which Erika whipped up which was beyond delicious. We are so grateful to have stayed here.

If you’re looking for a place with soul, charm, and a personal touch, Le Flâneur is it. This small B&B, with just five rooms, offers an authentic experience that beautifully blends with the romantic and historical vibe of the city. From the moment we arrived, hosts Erika and Dietrich made us feel truly welcome. Erika prepares a delicious homemade breakfast every morning — something to genuinely look forward to, with fresh, local ingredients and thoughtful touches. Over breakfast or in passing, they’re always ready with great recommendations on what to see, where to eat, and which bars to visit. They even provided a personalised map with tips and guidelines, which made exploring so much more enjoyable. A special mention goes to their little dog, Flannel, who greeted us every day with the friendliest tail wags and brought an extra layer of warmth to our stay. The B&B itself is clean, centrally located, and filled with character. Dietrich’s unique collection of curiosities and artwork scattered around the house adds a magical, almost storybook-like feeling to the place. And the casual, warm chats with the hosts made us feel like we were staying with old friends rather than at a regular accommodation. Le Flâneur is perfect for travellers wanting more than a soulless hotel room — it’s a stay you’ll remember. Highly recommended.

Erika and Dietrich were brilliant. Prior to (and during) our stay, we received a number of recommendations for eateries... including Lizzies Waffles (the best waffles in Belgium... and fantastic hot chocolate!), plus The Chocolate Line for incredible chocolates, both of which we visited = must-dos when in Bruges. Erika and Dietrich were so welcoming (as was their beautiful 4-legged friend, a Belgian called Flanelle... I hope I spelled that correctly)... we felt so much at home. We arrived a little early, and our room wasn't quite ready, so Erika made us a lovely hot drink with a yummy chocolate... during which time Dietrich kindly (and sneakily) took our bags to our room. The B&B has so much character (Dietrich is quite the collector, with his collections scattered throughout... wow!), and the rooms were spacious and top quality. Breakfasts were sumptious... on our last morning, we were due to leave 1/2 an hour before the scheduled breakfast time, and Erika said no problem at all and she would have that ready for us at 7:30... yummy French toast! The B&B is located a very easy walk to the many attractions, so it is perfect for tourists. We can't recommend Erika and Dietrich more highly. We look forward to visiting again soon!

We only booked 2 nights....🥹! For those with mobility issues, there are a couple of flights of stairs, so when booking, it would pay to request a lower floor room.

All we can say is WOW on this accommodation. The hosts were amazing, so nice and personnel and such a lovely couple, the B&B itself was beautiful, lovely antiques all around the place, we stayed in room 5 which was amazing, very artisan feel, very spacious, superb shower, bed was super comfy and lovely touches around the place, complimentary nuts, wine and coconut truffles which were so tasty. The room and B&B was super clean. The breakfast... what can i say... out of this world! Highly recommend this B&B, we will certainly be staying again.

Lovely hosts, amazing breakfasts (so much deliciousness and very accommodating to a vegetarian), adorable and sweet dog. Charming collection of antiques. Wonderful location, could walk to all corners of the historic district in <20 mins. Wish we had been able to stay longer, hope to return!

Wasn't a problem for us (late May), but no AC so could be hot in the summer. Listing mentions they have fans available. Also no issue for us but narrow/steep stairs could be difficult for some.

Everything about this place is amazing. The location is an easy 10 minute walk down pretty cobbled streets to the main square. The decor inside is unbelievable! Dietrich is a collector, and the whole house is a fascinating spectacle. The room was large, decorated beautifully, and Erika cooked fresh and interesting breakfast each morning, varying the menu each day. They were both incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Special mention to the frendliest dog in Belgium, little Flanelle! The whole stay was nothing short of spectacular.

Erika and Dietrich are amazing hosts and just in general such great people. You can tell the B&B is their passion. I loved the decor, every time I thought I saw everything I'd spot something new, it's full of their personality, I loved it. Erika is so thoughtful the way she goes through the tourist map and for giving the recommendations - Lizzies wafles is a must! If I go back to Bruge I will definitely stay here again. The location was perfect, only a few minutes walk from the centre. The breakfast was amazing, cooked by Erika fresh each morning, with a selection of breads, pastries, fruits, meats and cheeses, very plentiful. The room I stayed in had a beautiful freestanding bath. Last but not least, the lovely Flaneur, the family dog. I loved being greeted by Flaneur every morning, she is such a lovely dog.

There is nothing not to like.

My sister Katy and I stayed for three nights. Erika and Dietrich were amazing hosts! They were so warm, friendly and engaging. They made us feel like family. Their home is a historic residence built before 1840. Dietrich’s historic collectibles are scattered throughout their home and they add so much interest, quirkiness and fun! The rooms are very comfortable and spacious with nice touches of history and years gone by, but with modern conveniences. The beds were so comfortable and we both slept like babies. Erika’s daily breakfasts were out of this world and to die for! The location is very convenient and a five minute walk from the center of Bruges and the Markt, yet far enough from the busyness of the central city. A word to the wise……if you challenge Dietrich to foosball or darts, you better bring your A game! It was so much fun!! We can’t say enough good things about Erika and Dietrich. They are the best! You will love their lovely home! John and Katy O’Brien

Our stay at B&B Le flaneur was just perfect! Erika and Dietrich were amazing hosts and made us feel so welcome in their home. The rooms were beautiful, clean and peaceful. The house is wonderful and such a treat to stay in. The breakfast was exceptional and far surpassed our expectations. We had the best time and loved spending time with Erika and Dietrich and getting to know them. Thank you so much for making our trip so amazing.

Everything was perfect!
