Fantastic place to stay!
Some friends and I decided to have a quiet girls weekend away for the Christmas markets. This BnB was the perfect place to stay while we enjoyed Bruges. The gentleman who ran it was polite, helpful, informative and went to the trouble of remembering our breakfast and drink preferences. A little Christmas gift was given on check out, which was unexpected and kind. The house was beautifully presented with a lovely warm atmosphere and Christmas decorations. Beds were comfortable, the room spacious. Very warm and cosy. We would definitely return!

B and B by the canal, easy walk to centre
Great place to access Brugge, this is not a city centre location but great for waling to damme as well as in to the city. Easy walk to the canal ring. Easy free safe car parking, a valuable thing when you are driving. Breakfast, room and stay excellent. An interesting slightly different place to stay. Alan is a good host.

The hotel is located in relatively convenient area, close to old town/Markt, about 30 min walk. It’s really hard to find this hotel, no sigh in this hotel. Also the roads were blocked everywhere in their neighbourhood, only for walking/bicycles. Some road sign was very confusing, not sure the car was allowed, really not convenient for visitors/tourists. The room was really hot.

Lovely relaxing hotel about a half hour walk from the centre of Bruges. Set in a picturesque location by a canal, it’s a pleasant walk and there are bars and restaurants about 10 mins walk away. Allan, the owner is very helpful and puts together a delicious breakfast. We all enjoyed the freshly laid eggs. No fancy facilities, but we had a large room for two adults and one child and perfect if taking a car as it has safe parking in the garden.

We had a hard time finding the place because the street is very dark, I would recommend some kind of light by the entrance, but once we found the place it was a nice surprise I mixed up the booking and the gentleman in charge was so nice to help me with a room even though they were booked solid . he even after we got up late the next morning offered us breakfast , nice experience highly recommend this place.

Nice stay
Great welcome from Alain who gave us maps and showed us where to see. Nice quiet location, 20min walk along the canal into Brugge. We booked the room because of the kitchenette that we coulD see in the room photo so were a bit dissapointed to find that there was an extra charge for using it.

Great b&b, lovely host and delicious breakfast. Travelling with little kids can be stressful but our time at Le Coquin was anything but. Alain gave us some great tips of what to do in Bruges, where to go with the kids and some great restaurant recommendations so we felt we made the most of our stay. He even had bikes with child seats for hire and a trampoline. Highly recommended!

Quaint & Cozy
This B&B was quaint and cozy, and in the perfect location for exploring Bruges. We rented a car, so we drove from the B&B to the central station in Bruges and parked our car for 3.50 Euro all day. From there, it was just a short walk into the center of town. The breakfast at the B&B was adequate--yogurt, cereals, boiled eggs, toast, and breads. The surrounding area is picturesque--right along a canal off the beaten path. It was lovely and cozy, and the owners were very kind. I would highly recommend staying here if you plan on visiting Bruges!

Beautiful Oasis
We loved our stay in this B&B. Our host was very friendly and provided a lovely breakfast. The room was comfortable and clean. The location was beautiful, and not far from downtown. The host even provided bikes so we could bike into the downtown area. (Tip: We brought our kids' bikes and borrowed adult bikes.)

Really nice little hotel
Really nice little hotel situated in beautiful place close to city centre. Everything you can expect for nice city break. You can rent bikes in a hotel and have a pleasant drive to Brugge and to Damme (little village really worth visiting. At least you'll have a diner 20% cheaper)

A friendly place to stay.
This was a great place to stay when my three grown-up children and I stayed to see in the New Year. We were made to feel welcome by Alain, the proprietor and he was very happy to help with any questions we had about visit options, including recommendations and guidance about sights and venues to visit. Help was always available, though never forced. Breakfast was fine, with a good choice of cold meats, cheese and cereals, and hot chocolate (of course, as this is Belgium) and coffee. Balcony on our room was great- views from outside of the New Year fireworks in neighbourhood (not the main City display but nice) and we'd have used the outside space even more if it hadn't have been December! Everything was very laid back, as is the style in Belgium- a good break from the norm. Bruges is probably the most beautiful place I've ever visited- even the backstreets are pretty, people friendly and Christmas market, ice rink and beautiful architecture made it a really lovely break. We'll definitely return.

Great base for Bruges.
Such a great little B&B in the perfect location. Walking distance to the city although the owner kindly leant us his parking pass so we parked right in the centre. Great riding or running area along the canals. The accommodation is good, all clean and with the facilities you need. A very personal service, nothing was too much trouble, and a friendly cat.

Peaceful location on canal
We got lost on the ring road, and had to ask directions. We arrived earlier than stated, but the owner was very relaxed about it. He was helpful with directions to Bruges, and suggested places to eat.The location was a good walk from the main part of the city, but there is a bus. It rained heavily, so the shower drain in our room smelt of sewerage, but that may be an exception. We loved our host, who was very attentive, and we would go back.

Off the Beaten Path
Alain's B&B is off the beaten path in Bruges. It's in a quiet neighborhood along the canal and is a nice respite after the hustle and bustle of this tourist hotspot. Our room was spacious, and we had a wonderful rooftop balcony. Some reviews talk about distance, and it is a bit of a walk into town...but hey, it's Europe, and you are going to walk a lot anyway!

A little different than expected.
Our room was a little more cramped than we were expecting. The description said there would be a balcony, but there was not, however, we did have an en suite bathroom, which was a pleasant surprise. Breakfast was amazing. There were bikes for rent, but it was tricky trying to get back after the sun had set.

Within walking distance to downtown Buges
We stayed at this B and B late April 2014. We found it a bit challenging to find and ended up circling Bruges on the ring road several times. It is located 3km from downtown Bruges and, in the opposite direction, 4 km from Damme. To access the B and B you turn down a small road that appears to be more for biking and walking ( everyone here is on a bike!) along the edge of the canal. Thr owner is super helpful, even left us breakfast set up for an early am departure. The room was clean. So much to see in Bruges and area that 2 days was not enough. Bring your walking shoes to this city and enjoy.

Lovely house to stay in
The house itself is brilliant, quiet location and the breakfast is great. The only downside is that it is a bit far from Bruges itself. It requires a 45 minute or so walk into the towns. If one has a bike, then this isn't a problem of course.

Lovely stay. The host Allan was the first person in Europe that understands our needs.. The house is clean and very comfortable. He also assisted in various sites to visit. The breakfast was outstanding, and the self catering corner in the rooms made it worth wile to eat in the rooms in the evening. Will stay there again when visiting Brugge. Of all hotels and guest houses visited this was the one where I will stay again.

Le Coquin - Bruges
This B&B was quaint and lovely. We arrived late and were greeted with Hot chocolate and biscuits. The breakfast was plentiful and with everything you could want (exept perhaps cooked eggs). Shower very powerful and beds comfortable. Kitchenette is very basic but we seemed to manage with it ok. Lovely surrounds - outlook is a canal and the grounds around the B&B are lovely. Over all a very homely place and we would return. The only thing that bothered me was that the towels smelled strongly of cigarettes, it bothered me but not my husband. Great B&B overall!

Everything about this B&B is perfect - the only possible exception is the location - and this is only a problem if you want to be centrally located, as it is a 30min walk. That said, the canal-side location is lovely: very quiet and the walk into the centre is very pleasant, or the B&B has bikes if you'd rather. The room was superb, and the breakfast very generous. The host is very friendly and helpful. We'll certainly be going back.

Le Coquin B&B, Bruges
This was an absolutely fantastic, beautifully quiet place to stay, about 1 mile from the centre of Bruges,on the canal, with a balcony overlooking this. The host, Alain, couldn't do enought for us-from pots of (proper English!) tea made for our arrival, the offer to book a table at any restaurant in the city to an enormous choice at the breakfast buffet. We had travelled 620 miles from Austria to reach Bruges, and it was most certainly a wonderful place to be refreshed ready for the final 350 miles back home the following day. We had a few problems finding the place,as the Satnav does not recognise the house number, basically because access is from,effectively, a cycle path right next to the canal. I would recommend you contact Alain for instructions, or look at the "junction by junction" instructions (images) on the B&B's website, thus saving 40 minutes of driving round. We will most certainly be going back to stay there regularly, hopefully for more than just an overnight stop, and are looking forward to seeing Alain again.

Great option for a Bruges mini-break. Alain was charming and accommodating as we arrived late. Wonderful breakfast with plenty of choice, all beautifully presented and laid out. Comfy bedroom for us and two teenagers. Outside old Bruges, but it had parking and is walking distance from the excellent Brasserie Grand Cru. Alain also gave us top tip to park along rocade and walk in to old city as there are no parking charges if you do that.
