Good Service
We arrived late in the evening of 18th October and unfortunately, due to not receiving an email with the code for the key, the owner had to come and let us in. We apologised and she directed us to our room. The next morning the owner served us the most delicious breakfast, with homemade produce as well as locally sourced foods. When we checked out she gave us some chocolates. Superb, friendly service and a lovely little place which feels so welcoming. We would definitely recommend!

What a great place to stay, easy access to Brugge, very helpful and friendly owners/staff. The breakfast is an awesome array of homemade breads, cheeses, meats, cakes , bacon and eggs as well, all cooked on site. Rooms were nice and comfortable.

Homely stay
Hotel De Stokerij is a really lovely place to stay. The hosts are very attentive and knowledgeable. The bedrooms are comfortable and clean but lack tea and coffee making facilities. The breakfast is lovely, plenty of variety with waffles and eggs made to order. The food in the restaurant is gorgeous as Jan is a top chef, including aperitifs, 3 courses and wine it isn’t cheap at around €57 per head but you are looked after all evening. The location is great with Bruges and Ostend within 20 mins drive. Overall a great place.

Most amazing place! Best kept secret!
I have been fortunate enough to stay here a few times and each time it gets better and better! The hosts are wonderful and it is close to Bruges and other areas. If you are lucky enough to come when a special dinner is prepared by the amazing Chef/Owners you will never want to leave. Amazing breakfast and everything is homemade. I would definitely go back again.

PERFECT BASE FOR CHRISTMAS MARKETS
Not just a stay in a hotel....a truly wonderful experience, thanks to Ingrid Jan and Vanessa. Their hospitality is marvellous, and the gastronomical experiences in the restaurant were just amazing. I have NEVER had evenings like that before! The hotel is ideally placed to visit Bruges, Ostend, and all the delightful coastal town's.

Excellent Themed Rooms
Staff were very friendly & helpful. The room was excellent and had a Jacuzzi bath and separate shower room with great little extra's. Would definitely stay again if we ever go back to visit Brugge which is a really easy ten mile drive into the city. One of the best rooms we have ever stayed in, and at a reasonable price as well !!!

Fantastic hospitality
The hotel is located a little bit outside of Brugge, in rural surroundings. When we arrived, we got the most warm welcome I had in years. We were offered a drink and something to eat. The room was amazing, with a four poster bed and a jacuzzi. When I asked for two glasses of Kir Royal, the owner went out of his way to organise a bottle of Prosecco, served in a bucket with ice, and he found a bottle of creme de cassis as well. This allowed us to make our own kir Royal in our room. We had a totally unexpected, most romantic evening in a great place where we definitely will return.

Welcoming and helpful.
Ingrid was most welcoming and helpful, even carried one of our cases to the room. She recommended a couple of eating establishments locally, once we chose she booked the bistro for us. (Good food and ambience). Each room has a theme , we were in the Ship Chandler room. Would use the hotel if we were in the area again.
Thank you so much

cozy hotel
Hotel is really nice and so is the owner. Need car access to get here. Room is cozy but relatively small. 15-30 mins by car to Bruggs, Oostend and Gent which is very idea for 2days of stay? Would definitely consider this place if I would come again.

Great spot in the country, yet close to Brugge.
Service is the key at this cozy hotel. The owners treated us like royalty, from the welcome drink at check in, to the special anniversary champagne on ice in the candlelit room. The breakfast features homemade breads & pastries, in house smoked salmon & ham and freshly squeezed orange juice. The staff are extremely helpful in providing advice on places to explore. I would highly recommend this place to anyone & wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

Lovely hotel in the countryside!
We were given the private' Antiques' room downstairs for our three night stay.. Wow! Charming and very romantic with the double spa bath in the large bathroom. The bathroom had a door, but the wall between it and the bedroom had a window with NO glass so the stereo system in the room was often used! lol! The wonderful breakfast was excellent with bucolic views of fat cows grazing in a gorgeous green field.

Excellent hotel close to Bruges
The hotel lived up to its previous reviews. We were warmly greeted by the Landlady, and offered a drink and information about Bruges where we were to visit the next day. We were then shown to our room, which had a four poster bed. Lighted candles and night lights dotted around the bedroom and large bathroom gave it a warm and romantic feel. The bed was very comfortable, and the room very clean. Breakfast was varied with plenty of local produce, and home made bread. The evening meal was excellent, although a little pricey. We would recommend this hotel, which certainly lived up to its good reviews. It is set in farmland and is only a 20 minute drive from Bruges.

Perfect alternative to staying in Bruges
This hotel is full of character with probably the best breakfast I've ever had. If you're looking for your standard "business" hotel, then this place is not for you, but if you're looking for a hotel with tons of charm and character then I recommend this place. Bruges is only a 15min drive away, and you can park your car at the station car park for 3.50Euros. I would definitely stay again, for the breakfast alone!

We sadly only stayed for one night as we were passing through, but I wish we could've stayed longer! The owner/hostess was VERY nice and accommodating. The hotel was beautiful, very clean, and very lovely decorated. Our room was amazing, very beautiful and comfortable. Would most definitely recommend this to a friend, and would gladly stay there again.

Rural Comfort Island
The hotel is close to main streets, easy to find, yet surrounded by meadows with sheep and cows. We had a short, but very relaxing stay. The owner showed my kids the "enchanted"caravan room for two and have us great advice regarding trips to Brugge and Ostende. She even gave us her private GPS to find a recommended fish restaurant (which was really good!) close to the beach. The bath room was huge with a big jet bathtub and excellent view over the fields. Unbeatable for Euro 89 for 3 people in the main season; highly recommended.

Kooky small hotel in good location
I picked this hotel for a visit to Bruges as it looked quirky and different- the family-run hotel is in a quiet, rural location around 10 minutes drive from the motorway, down a country lane but easily found with sat-nav. After a complimentary drink in the lounge we were shown to our room, the 'Bristol'- this is the 'budget' room- though I believe the smallest of the rooms on offer it had a nice comfortable big bed, large windows and a decent bathroom, plus air-con, a mini bar & tv etc. We were doing our trip on a fairly tight time frame and budget so didn't eat at the hotel, but food looked good from what we saw and the rustic kitchen I'm sure rustles up great home-made meals. We slept well as the area is quiet, there was a little bit of noise from the echoey corridor in the morning but nothing to complain about really. The hotel is quite close to Bruges, about 30 mins away in morning traffic.

Easy way to see Bruges
Overall, the room was excellent - a mix of antique and modern. The bed was comfortable but the pillows were a little hard. The hotel is about 20-25 minutes outside of Bruges and is an easy car ride in. Being outside of Bruges, you get free parking. It was not clear what the WiFi details were and since we were moving around so much, didn't worry about it. That said, I think it is supposed to be included for free.

Eccentricity but with control !
Nice hotel set within an old distillery - wooden beams feature in every room with a unique individual theme in each one. Ample parking, and set in well maintained gardens with countryside views. Just 10 minutes drive from Bruges city centre. Rooms are en suite, with TV (no English channels), Radio, Air-con, large beds and plenty of pillows, table and chairs with a well stocked but expensive mini bar and large wardrobe. The hotel as a whole has an eccentric and eclectic feel decoration wise with stills, interspersed with ornate furniture and porcelain dolls but tastefully done! Breakfast is varied continental style but with the option of cereals and fruit, this is all served until midday!. The restaurant is the gastronomes delight with live culinary demonstrations of the menu cooked in front of the crowd present, a very unique experience and a must even though the cost seems high! Other good restaurants exist very locally and are recommended by the hosts. Overall a really great experience and a place we will return too!

We chose this as we had a long journey back from switzerland and did not want to miss the connecting ferry. The place was excellent. The owner made us feel very comfortable and nothing was too much trouble. It was ideally situated for all the ferry ports and within easy reach of Brugge itself. I would recommend this hotel

We had a fantastic stay here. Quiet location, rooms amazing, host's very friendly and helpful :) The food was awesome, we had the best meal we have eaten in a long time and the choice of bread for breakfast was all freshly made with home smoked ham, salmon and a good selection of cheeses, fruit, juices, eggs oh and the jam wow, oh and cake :) They can arrange bike hire, If you are looking for a romantic getaway this is it. They also had a gypsy caravan which I think I would like to stay in next time or the room with balcony 10/10 :)

All aspects were very satisfying. The staff responded excellently to our requests regarding local locations of interest and source of evening meals in Ostende. Room was relaxing and well appointed and allowed full nights sleep. All expected bathroom facilities were available and worked perfectly.

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!

Great for Ostend or Bruges
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.
