- Renate (10/5): Ungewöhnlicher Aufenthalt - Sehr nette Vermieterin, die sehr interessiert ist an ihren Gästen. Stets bemüht, hat sich gerne mit uns über ganz verschiedene Themen unterhalten. Sehr gastfreundlich und super Service. Die Lage war auch super für uns: Brügge, Knokke, Zeebrügge waren sehr schnell erreichbar. Gute Verkehrsanbindung von Filippus Vakantiehoeve!
- Karolien (8/5): -
- Norbert (9/5): - Sehr nette Eigentümerin. Ich hatte erst Zweifel, weil es nicht klar beschrieben ist , ob die Motorräder auf dem Grundstück stehen können. Sie stehen dort gut und sicher! Es gibt einen Aufenthaltsraum mit Fernseher und einen gut mit Getränken gefüllten Kühlschrank.
- Manuel (8/5): - C'était rustique, mais ce n'est pas simplement un chambre, mais un experience!
Les deux fenêtres de la chambre donnaient sur les écuries! Ma femme et mon fils passaient leurs temps a la fenêtre!
Nous avions accès à tout le lieu, et nous débutions notre journée apres avoir pris le petit dejeuner avec les produits locaux et fait maison, après avoir goûté le lait de jument, a déambuler au milieu des chevaux et des nombreux poulains!
Ok, il ne s'agit pas d'un hôtel 4etoiles, les chambres sont rustiques bien que très propres, mais, si vous chercher plus qu'une simple chambre dans laquelle vous allez simplement dormir, cela est fait pour vous!
- Cristina (10/5): - Super freundliche Gastgeber. Leckeres Frühstück mit Selbstgemachtem. Tochter durfte Traum erfüllen und reiten. Tolles Erlebnis
- Dan (10/5): - It was clean , the room was big , calm , the breakfast was good , and the lady at reception was nice.

- Olivia (9/5): - A unique place to stay. The room was basic but very clean. The hosts were really friendly and breakfast was simple but excellent.
- Ruth (10/5): -
- Andrea (1/5): Not for Brugge tourists -- you will sleep in the stinking smell of horse manure - The room was fairly clean. The rooms are built in between the horse stables with the windows directly opening into them -- I viewed actual horse dung. This means no direct sunlight or fresh air. Even without opening that window, I suffered the smell of manure all night. There is no wifi in the room, only in a common room furnished with aged furniture. I did not get a receipt after my payment. When asking for a kettle (to boil water for tea), I was given one thick with dirt and chalk. When I complained, the landlord appeared next to the landlady in a threatening pose. This place is not good value, and should not be listed among general accommodation places on Booking.com.
- Barbora (5/5): Passable - The smell absence of windows there was no chance to get clean air as the rooms are within the stables so when you open the window you are inside of stable.
- Omeryonev (9/5): Superb - We could feed and pat the horses.
The stuff was very friendly. I needed a little bit of time to get used to the smell of the horses but then everything was fine.
It would be better if there were hot water, tea and coffee in the rooms or at least in the common area where the rooms are located.
- Sandra (10/5): Fantastic stay. I highly recommend for kids who love horses. - Very friendly, excellent for families with kids who love horses. The kids can go to the stables and help the owner
- Otto (9/5): A very unique experience, I became interested in the horses day-by-day - Location was very unique (stable view from corridor and rooms), New born foals were something I never saw before. Very helpful staff, 10 p.m. check-in was no issue, cold beer in the fridge... Breakfast was outstanding: many home made food and wide selection, incl. freshly made omlett. Rooms are big and equipped as needed. Location is perfect to daytrips to Brugge / Gent / Anwerp. Nothing
- Rusi (6/5): Pleasant -
- Silvia (8/5): Very good - The accommodation is on the horse farm, so definitely suitable for horse lovers. The breakfast is very good. This was our second stay in the property. The WIFI only works in the communal area, it does not work in the bedroom.
- Szilvia (10/5): Highly recommended for a horse lover! - The room was big with a private bathroom and shared living room. It was clean and comfortable! The area was amazing, nature everywhere you look! Heidi and Filip were extremly friendly and did everything to make their guest happy! Breakfast was organic and amazing! Highly recommend it for a horselover person or family! Everything was just perfect!
- Laura (7/5): I would return to this BnB as once i got to sleep I had a good night - Heidi was very welcoming and polite. The homemade breakfast was delicious The sounds in the room from the heating and hot water pipes were loud and the room was hot.
Limited ventilation
- Lisa (8/5): Good basic place to stay - B&B on a horse ranch - It was nice to be around the horses and the staff was very friendly. Easy parking and delicious breakfast. Clean, comfortable room Shower needs freshening up in the corners
- Elena (10/5): Exceptional -
- Crazy (7/5): Good - Great breakie.
Close to bruges
- Marge (9/5): Dream of any horse lover who does not (yet) have an own horse! - It is a truly unique experience - would recommend it for every horse lover! I regret ordering a private riding lesson for my kid before leaving the place. Used training methodology is suitable only for very self-confident adults.
- Sandra (10/5): Amazing stay and great experience for kids - Fantastic experience for kids who love horses! I definitely recommend and we will come back for sure!
- Rentas (10/5): Exceptional - We loved that we were able to do ride horses with the children N
- Daria (10/5): Cozy stay at farm - I recently had the pleasure of staying at a charming farm hotel, and it was an unforgettable experience. Hosts are very friendly and we felt like home.
One of the highlights of our stay was the delightful farmer's breakfast each morning. Freshly baked bread, farm-fresh eggs, and homemade jams were just a few of the delicious offerings.
The beautiful horses on the farm added an extra layer of magic to our visit. Watching them graze peacefully in the fields was a calming sight. It was an incredible experience, especially for those who love animals and nature.
Overall, staying at this farm hotel was a perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and warm hospitality. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and immerse themselves in the tranquility of the countryside.
- Silvia (10/5): This stay will be definitely remembered. - The room is situated actually directly inside / above the stable so the view from both windows (one on each side) as directly into the stable with lots of horses. We were allowed to see the horses and were even offered to try some horse milk at the breakfast. It is worth an experience! The only downside was the smell, but we expected this, as we knew it is a working farm.
- Eric (8/5): Very good - Support of the hostess
- Lucia (7/5): Good - Horses and calm area, wery nice owner. All was ok, but the room did not have any window opening outside. There were two windows, two at the opposite walls but both were open only to the inside of the stables. It was impossible to get fresh air and there was just hay everywhere in the air. As we have 2 allergic persons in our family (not to hay, however this air was irritating to the broncheal tubes) and this was a problem during the night. It would be nice if this was stated in the description, that there is no supply of the fresh air in the room. This would be kind of a dealbraker for us.
- Robert (10/5): Exceptional - Very friendly people taking nice care about clients. Very tasty breakfast. I will come surely back.
- Raghav (8/5): Very good -
- Jana (8/5): Fun place to stay for horse loving family - Location is very unique, your room has stable view so you can see horses. Ist fun for kids and grow ups who love horses. We loved breakfast, horse milk and differen home made jams. There is no fridge to keep anything cool as the one is there is full of drinks for a sale. There is only one microwave not anything else to make cup of tea, no kettle no cups or plates. That makes it very expensive stay as you need to eat out for lunch and dinner.
- Williford (10/5): We stayed for 4 nights with 2 adults and 2 teenagers, and it was perfect. - This was the perfect spot for visiting the Bruges/Ghent/Maldegem area. 15 minutes to Bruges by car, 25 minutes to Ghent by train, 25 minutes to the beach. The hospitality is so warm and welcoming, with the most amazing breakfasts. We loved visiting the horses every morning after breakfast, and going for walks in the quiet country-side in the evenings, a perfect bookend to visiting busy cities. The beds were very comfortable, the rooms were very clean, and the host takes special care in her attention to detail. We have recommended all our friends consider staying here. Nothing!
- Zaky972 (8/5): Very good -
- Willy (9/5): Superb -
- Fahad (10/5): Excellent experience - Rooms were clean and bathroom was spacious.
Breakfast was organic farm breakfast. Homemade everything with variety of homemade juices and jams, also horse milk! Our room was next to horse stall which we could see from our window. U can hear horses in the morning which was a unique experience. Host was very friendly and she did her best to accommodate our requests and made us feel very welcome.
- Satish (7/5): Good - Breakfast was good with all home made jams. Lady at the reception was very helpful.
- Edyta (9/5): Superb - Staff, breakfast, location
