Nothing

We could not have been more pleased with this property. The house was tucked out of the way, private, and quiet but also just a minute from many of the most fabulous spots in Bruges. The property was spotlessly clean, the bed was comfortable and every room was well equipped. Maryke, our host, was very helpful and knowledgeable. She was available when we needed her but we had total privacy at the same time. Our daily breakfast was a true highlight of the trip. Fresh juice, fresh, local pastries, yogurt, fruit - every morning was a delight. Would give this house 100 stars if I could! All of the people that we met were lovely. Highly recommend wandering the town and getting lost on some of the side streets. Early mornings and late afternoons are the best when the crowds have died down. (Although it wasn't as crowded as I had feared.) Also recommend a bike ride to Sluis. Eat the Kip (chicken) baguette at Le Jardin. OMG. So good. Climb the belfry first thing or at 6/6:20. - fewer people.

The property is very quiet and private, yet only 5 min from market square. Amenities are excellent. The host is caring and provided sumptuous breakfast.

All superb. Just be careful on spiral steps. Maybe some foot grip tape? Can be tricky.

The cottage is so cozy and charming right in the middle of Bruges. Just steps away from everything. The breakfast in a basket every morning was like a fairy tale! Maryke is THE most gracious host ever. What a wonderful experience.

Everything was superb! The cottage was beautiful, clean and comfortable. The homemade cake&jams, juices, fruit pots, breads and pastries were spectacular. Location was ideal, so quiet but in walking distance to everything. Would highly recommend. It was an amazing stay with an exceptional host.

Everything was very good.

We really enjoyed privacy and coziness of the residence. The cottage is very clean and it includes all kitchen appliances and tableware. The design of the residence gives you a good sense of Bruges history and very nicely and artistically done. The residence provides good fresh breakfast in a basket of fruits, juices and pastries delivered every morning. We appreciate kind recommendations of the owner that made our tourists sights and restaurant choices so much easier. Thank you very much!

That we had to leave!

The Herring's Residence is a beautifully renovated cottage. It was impeccably clean, comfortable, quiet and within easy walking distance to all Bruges has to offer. The breakfast supplies were absolutely superb. Fresh bread, fruit, fruit juice and pastries were supplied every morning along with eggs, a selection of cheeses, meats, home made preserves & yoghurt. We absolutely loved our stay here.

Stayed in April 2025

Our expectations were exceeded by orders of magnitude. The house is in the very center, but in a side street, which is very quite even in the touristic rush hours. Should that be not enough, the house is in the backyard, which is just silent. Maryke the landlady, is like from the fairy tale, really a nice person in every aspect. Concerning food: you get full fridge of selected cheeses, ham, homemade jams, eggs etc. Every morning you get a basket of fresh bread, pastry, juice and some surprise. The house (yes, you get the whole 3 story house just for yourself) is a historic one but very tastefully restored and equipped.

A perfect property. The Herrings residence is an absolutely magical find. Gentle jazz playing on arrival with a homemade apple cake on the side, a warm cosy cottage oozing charm, it was a memorable and pleasurable experience from start to finish. The property is stylish, relaxing, welcoming, comfortable, private and spotless! We loved being so close to the centre of Brugge, within a few minutes walking distance to so many beautiful sights,and yet it was a peaceful, quiet retreat away from the hustle and bustle only minutes away. The hosts were welcoming and the breakfasts provided were delicious and plentiful. Fresh pastries and bread delivered daily, beautiful cheeses, meats, freshly squeezed orange juice, homemade granola, jams, fresh fruit, yogurts and bacon and eggs stocked in the fridge ready to be cooked at your leisure. Our host gave us some great recommendations for local restaurants and advised us of places to visit. A private and secure parking space was the cherry on the cake and gave us peace of mind throughout our stay. There is nothing to dislike about our stay other than it wasn’t long enough. We hope to return to Brugge one day and wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else other than this beautiful cottage. We really can’t rate our stay highly enough, a perfect stay, in a perfect place making a perfect few days away.

I would caution others that there is a stairway to climb to the bedroom/bathroom. Otherwise, absolutely outstanding stay!

Quiet, comfortable, clean, and perfectly furnished. A truly wonderful spot to stay in beautiful (but crowded) Brugge.

The accommodation was perfect, very beautiful and we loved the old beams and original features. It had everything we needed and had a real feel of quality about it. Our host, Maryke, was very friendly and happy to share local knowledge which we appreciated. As others have mentioned the breakfast food is delicious and plentiful, and we really enjoyed the homemade apple cake left for us on arrival. The area is very quiet and peaceful, but ideally located for exploring the city. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return in the future!

Nothing I can think of.

The separate entrance and having the place to ourselves. Having the flexibility to have breakfast whenever we wanted. The place was spotless.

What an amazing place to stay! The location was fabulous, right in the historical centre and yet it was so peaceful and quiet. The breakfasts were sensational and such a lovely idea to have a basket of treats delivered each morning. Maryke was a wonderful hostess and made our Silver wedding stay very special. The homemade cake was such a welcome treat after a long day travelling and the homemade preserves were delicious. There were also fabulous restaurant recommendations. The accommodation is so very stylish and a true gem. We look forward to returning!

We didn't find the sofa in the living room to be very comfortable. But not a deal breaker at all.

The location is just perfect! It's a beautiful apartment nearby everything in Bruges. Even though it was centrally located I could not believe how QUIET it was. The breakfast and food provided by the host was just amazing. We ate well for every breakfast, but also were able to stretch the food for some snacks throughout the stay. It really helped to cut down on food expenses (which are quite high)! The bed was so so comfortable. The apartment is on 3 floors with living room and kitchen on the ground level. Bedroom and bathroom upstairs and an additional sitting area on the top floor. The host was incredibly gracious and helped to show us areas of the city to explore on the map when we arrived. You will not regret staying here!

Honestly, I can't think of a single thing not to like.

Could not ask for a better location. All the main attractions were literally at your doorstep. The house was very charming and the interiror was styled beautifully. The breakfast was a delight every morning.

There really is nothing to dislike about this property. The staircase is a little steep so could be a problem for less abled people.

Spotlessly clean, well furnished & very comfortable. Excellent location for exploring the city. Breakfast was excellent

I organised a stay here for my sister’s 40th, with her husband. It was such a warm welcome. Outstanding. Cleanliness. The amazing breakfast basket both days was so appreciated. The fridge full of beautiful food and the place was so cosy. When we got there, we were recommended places to eat and highlighted all different places to visit, which really helped. When we were leaving, we could leave our bags to collect later on and ordered us a taxi - Hostess with mostess. Thank you!

The breakfast was prepared with care, fresh bread arrived every morning and the fridge was well stocked with a variety of cheese, home made marmelade and meat, We enjoyed the privacy of the accommodation and with the whole of Brugge within walking distance we had a great time.

Nothing. Everything is absolutely perfect.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at B&B Herrings Residence during my trip to Bruges, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. First and foremost, the location of the B&B is absolutely perfect. Tucked away in a quiet street, it offers a peaceful retreat from the bustling city center, while still being conveniently close to all the main attractions. Exploring Bruges from this charming B&B was an absolute delight! The settings of the B&B are truly enchanting. The apartment is tastefully designed that strike the perfect balance between modern comfort and traditional charm. There was always a sense of tranquility and serenity that made my stay truly unforgettable. Maryke the owner has decorated this place with a lots of love, heart and care.
