Guest Reviews
- Mélanie (10/5): - L'extrême gentillesse du personnel, le petit-déjeuner frais et complet, la proximité de la nature et des animaux, le fait de se sentir véritablement en vacances... Tout était parfait.

- JohanvanKampen (8/5): Goede keuze als je niet in een keten hotel wil boeken. - Prima ontbijt. Vriendelijke gastheer. Goede bedden.
- Chantal (8/5): Bonne expérience ! - Nous avons eu un excellent accueil de la part de Freddy : à l'écoute, disponible, nous donnant tous les renseignements dont nous avons eu besoin. Il nous a fait confiance. La maison est atypique, la cour doit être très agréable au beau temps pour y prendre son petit-déjeuner qui est d'ailleurs très complet. Merci pour cet accueil ! Peut-être une bouilloire dans la chambre pour prendre une boisson chaude le soir.
- Samuel (10/5): Magnificent - Breakfast was delicious, staff were great, lovely setting with sheep and deer, nice warm room. Would definitely return
- Danny (10/5): -

- Vasco (9/5): Beautiful choice of a place - Amazing experience! From the host being such a nice and kind person, to the lovely breakfast, and the amazing decoration in the rooms and in the house. This is the kind of experience I enjoy when I am traveling somewhere!
There is plenty of free parking on the street, and even a few tables and chairs on the back of the house where you can enjoy the view of the 30+ year old goose and a couple of deers :)
- Esther (4/5): Voldeed niet aan de verwachtingen die we naar aanleiding van de foto's en recensies hadden. - Het ontbijt was goed. Erg vriendelijke gastheer die koffie schonk en zorgde dat alles voor ons klaar stond. Genoeg keuze ook.
Bedden waren goed, lagen erg lekker. Bij het inchecken troffen we een ander iemand dan de latere zeer vriendelijke gastheer. De incheck verliep wat vreemd en we hadden er geen fijn gevoel bij. De kamer was wat gedateerd en heel basis (dat wisten we). Terras niet goed onderhouden en oogde rommelig.
We gingen voor nostalgisch en kneuterig, laten we zeggen dat het niet was wat we hadden verwacht. Deze accomodatie is wellicht voor een ander soort publiek geschikter.
- Kerstin (8/5): - Eine gemütliche Unterkunft mit sehr nettem Gastgeber. Ein guter Ort für Ausflüge und ein kurzes Wochenende. Das Frühstück war sehr gut.
- Haesendonckx (10/5): - Heel hartelijke ontvangst. Goede kamer. Heerlijk ontbijt. Prachtig uitzicht vanop het leuke terras.
- Pascale (7/5): -
- N. (7/5): - Friendly staff. Flexible and willing to work out solutions. Bed was good. Attending a convention it served our needs but I can imagine that if you send more time in the room it may lack some convenience. The facilities are somewhat outdated. It is old, which gives it some character, but at the same time there is obviously some maintenance. Tap only had cold water. No television or radio available. Would have appreciated some bins in the room.
- Felix (8/5): -
- Seok (10/5): Exceptional - The host Freddy was super helpful, went all out to make our stay comfortable. Breakfast was good. Especially like the view of the open space nature from our room. Great location for walkers and cyclists. Free parking.
- Vinodhl (7/5): Disappointing and a safety hazard - The gentleman at the breakfast was friendly and attentive, but once he found out we were dutch, he started talking behind our backs in French to his colleague...
Next to our room there was a field with deer and geese. The room smelled musty and was very hot, but the window wouldn't open, as far as we could see. Bathroom had black mold on the wall and ceiling. Bathroom wasn't cleaned by the time we arrived (after check in time)
One of the lamps in the room was only hanging by some wires. One of the outlets near the bed came out when I removed my phone charger! How dangerous is that?!
Locking the room was difficult because the door had some weird system where we had to lift the handle before locking. But we also had to pull the door to close, but since the handle plopped out, that was quite a challenge to do.
The hotel is pretty much in the middle of nowhere, so don't expect to be able to walk to a supermarket or restaurant.
- Peterjan (8/5): Very good - Nice ,cosy and clean, good choice of breakfast and a lovely back garden to sit and watch the deer parade before you.
- Rebecca (8/5): Nice stay - Parking, quiet location despite next to the road, breakfast was good, easy check in, very friendly host. Had everything you need. Thin walls, hence a little noisy late night. But wasn't an issue in the night.
- Oana (9/5): Very good - Nice location, did a walk reccomend by Johan. The place is clean and quiet. Very nice and helpful owner. Was very kind to arrange for me to have breakfast 30 minutes earlier.
- Pierre (10/5): Exceptional -
- Teodor (9/5): A beautiful experience in a quiet place, fresh air, great people and also relaxing - The place, the staff, the breakfast and the animals The fact that the bathroom doesn’t have a window and the smell stayed there
- Ferenc (10/5): Great place for having a recharging stopover and some days to discover the neighborhood. Thanks for having us! - Very friendly, welcoming staff, great atmosphere. Perfect place if you need a real recharge. None
- Anett (10/5): Exceptional -
- Owen (10/5): Exceptional - The breakfast was very good and the owner was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about anything I needed to learn about the surrounding area. He even let me stay a little longer since my bus was coming later and helped me take the right bus.
- Drew (10/5): One of a kind - Amazing scenery and staff, would stay here again. 10 out of 10.
- Olga (9/5): Superb -
- Gary (9/5): Great for a short trip to Flanders. Host really helpful. Well done Freddy - Easy to find, not far from all the activities in Oudenaarde. Excellent restaurant just up the road. The breakfast was superb, all in all I would definitely stay again Nothing really. Freddy couldn’t have been a more helpful host.

- Nola (8/5): Very good - Always friendly and accommodating, like staying with family.

- Manuel (10/5): Exceptional - Excelent Nothing to said
- Eva (9/5): Superb -
- Andrew (10/5): Great place with fantastic hosts. - Everything. Freddy and Kalid were fantastic hosts to a somewhat boisterous group of 19 people. They were accommodating, welcoming and friendly and the place itself was perfect. Loads of shared space, great views, a collection of deers, a goose and some great beer - what’s not to like.
The rooms were really comfortable, food great, relaxed and I know we’ll be back.
- Tanja (9/5): Superb - Nice and comfortable room. Also nice surroundings. We really apreciate being able to check-in later than expected.

- Marian (8/5): Short escape - Wonderful breakfast. The owner was amiable. There were some uninvited spiders inside the bathroom.
- Alistair (10/5): Excellent value for money! Great garden with shade and tables and chairs. - breakfast very good! More than the usual continental breakfast. Host spoke good English and was very helpful in every way. Great bike storage with plenty room to carry out repairs. Car parking on street only.
