Hotel De Stokerij

Nice hotel, pleasant surroundings and comfortable bed !

Beautiful surroundings; cute little room; the breakfast was great. The hotel is located in the countryside, with all the advantages of romantic atmosphere, and yet only a short distance from Bruges. Overall, this was a wonderful experience.

The Hotel was very good and in the countryside, which my husband liked. Our room was very good but the shower could have done with a shelf in it for you to put some of your things also some of the towels were old and hard and had gone grey, the flannels especially. Overall the hotel was lovely and everyone was very friendly. We did have to cancel the first night due to a family birth we phoned yourselves and were given the hotel number, I don't think this was very helpful.

We stayed at this hotel on our way from England to Denmark with our dog. For us it was a perfect overnight stay on our travels through Belgium. The hotel was clean and comfortable and the staff spoke English and were very nice. The breakfast was incredible with home made bread and jams etc! Most importantly for us there was a lawned garden area for the dog. Only slight negative thing was that it was a little difficult to find but once found it was a very pleasant stay!

We chose De Stokerij because overnight parking in Ostend itself seemed tricky, and it was a very good choice. Oudenburg is a small village in peaceful countryside, halfway between Ostend and Bruges. Ingrid and Jan are very friendly and helpful, instantly switching betweeen several different languages, and providing useful maps and tourist guides, free wifi, and even use of their laptop. They are clearly very busy smoking their own ham and salmon, baking bread, and making jam - all of which you can taste at the excellent buffet breakfast. We didn't eat at the restaurant, which is not open every day; a meal there is a set price of €37, which is not mentioned on their website. We arrived on a Monday, which is the day that all the other local restaurants close, but Ingrid directed us to a bar a few minutes drive away which served good snacks. You do really need a car and/or bicycles if you come here. But if you do, I'm sure you'll have a pleasant stay.
