Tranquil stay close to Bruges
We enjoyed our stay in this unusual property in a tranquil location. It is very well equipped and everything we needed was there! We loved the bikes and we used them to cycle the 13km along the river bank to the centre of Bruges.

Rest and Relax in the Countryside
This is a great house to rest and relax. It is in a great location that makes it easy to get to the beach and surrounding towns. We loved the alpaca neighbors next door and walked into town for a fun food truck rally. It was a nice weekend out of the city.

Great place to explore the Flanders region.
We had a great stay for a week at the house. It was very well presented with all amenities you would expect. The kitchen/living area was very stylish and also very easy to use. It's rare to go to a house in another country without really struggling to use the kitchen equipment (in particular the oven), but this wasn't the case here. The bathroom was really good with a fantastic shower. The wi-fi worked well. The living area was very comfortable, we enjoyed spending evenings sat inside or having a meal outside when the weather was good. The grounds were lovely and our son particularly enjoyed the trampoline. The location was very good, with easy access to all of the Flanders region by car, bus or rail. If you really wanted to cycle around the area, there were some bikes available (in excellent condition). We wouldn't hesitate to recommend and we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if we were in the area.

Lovely property
It's a nice place in a lovely, quiet spot. It would be especially nice in summer, when you could eat outside and enjoy the views. I give this 4 stars instead of 5 for two reasons: 1. It is listed as a two-bedroom facility, but it is not. It is a one-room cabin with an open loft. The bathroom is private, but the two "bedrooms," located upstairs, are only separated by a saloon-style swinging door. Indeed, you have to walk through one to get to the other (e.g., to go the bathroom at night), and anything said or done in one can be readily heard. 2. The stairs that lead to the loft are more like a ladder than stairs. VERY steep and shallow, and no hand rail on the open side. Hard to get luggage upstairs, and could be dangerous for seniors, young children, etc. If those are not a problem for you, then this is a good place.

Great property. Positives: stylish but also fully functional kitchen, good furniture, great enclosed yard for kids and pets, fireplace with lots of wood, plenty of water and great water pressure in the shower, easy drive to Bruges and Ghent. Negatives: steep stairs to loft, very warm in loft if there is any amount of heat on in the lower level.

Dreamy modern cottage in the country
This cottage was rustic on the outside and modern on the inside, and it was nestled in the cozy Belgian countryside. Lots of amenities and a full kitchen made it a comfortable, lovely vacation spot. It came with a crib, which was helpful. The 2 beds are both in the loft, and while there's a visual divide between bed areas, there's no sound divide. So if you're looking for some private time, that's good to know! Be sure to factor in time checking in and out to drop off the key at the host's home, which is a few minutes away.

Be prepared to climb ladder type steps to sleeping area in loft. Trees with apples and and grapes on the vines! Pond water very low and may need insect repellant due to mosquitoes, Bed very comfortable. Love the cows and fenced in yard.

Relaxing in style
The home was lovely and very stylish. The shower is amazing! Bedding was comfortable though the stairs are slightly intimidating at first to go up to the bedrooms. As many have stated there isn’t privacy that many are accustomed to since you have to walk through one bedroom to get to the loft area. If you’re with family or friends like family there’s no issue. The furnishings are very well done and we were impressed with the quality of everything. Even had bikes for us to use in the shed. Made for a fun journey to and around Brugge. Joke is super easy to communicate with and very welcoming. She saw how tired we were from a long flight and drive so she gave us a little extra treat of a couple of Belgium beers and sparkling wine. Looking out to see the cows and being able to feed the fish in the pond was a bonus. We’d love to come back and enjoy this home again!

Great location for day trips
This property was the perfect location for our first trip to Belgium, and well situated for day trips to visit the many historic towns. Communication with Joke was always great, and she was quick to answer our questions. If you enjoy being out in the beautiful countryside on your own, this is a great choice for you. You see beautiful green pastures as far as you look. It would have been a bit difficult to find on our own. Thankfully Joke led us there. Although it is out in the country, you are close enough to town for groceries, as well as convenient to the major highways when you want to explore further. The house was well maintained, and quality materials and furnishings had been used. We found the kitchen great for preparing breakfasts, and had it been warmer we would have enjoyed the outdoor dining area. The many bikes in the shed was a nice bonus, and we were able to take a short ride on one of the country roads adjacent to the house. We booked a two bedroom because of a snoring issue. The sleeping area is really a loft open to the downstairs, and is more of one room separated by louvered doors so that did not help with any noise. For just the two of us it was ok, but feel a second couple would be too tight, and the lack of bedroom privacy would have been an issue. Additionally, you had to walk through one of the 'bedrooms' to go downstairs to the bathroom. The stairs were more of a ladder, and may present a problem for folks with mobility issues. The water pressure in the shower was supurb! The furniture was very comfy. Don't plan on sleeping in as there are no curtains, and the sun will certainly let you know it is time to get up! Although we enjoyed the house we found it a bit small. There is no place to put your stuff - no closets, cupboards, dressers etc. We ended up having to live out of one suitcase on the kitchen table, and the other in the living room. If these things are not a problem for you I would suggest you book this property.

Lovely quite geat away.
Spent 4 nights at Carpe Diem. We drove over from the UK and head straight to meet the owner. We were taken around the property making sure everything was ok. We basically loved it here. We brought our small dog who loved the garden. The home is very very nice and has everything you need. The surrounding area is very quiet, a few cows and that’s it. We would come back. Bruges is only 10km up the road

Good house to stay for close family members
The house location is excellent - very quite area , close to Bruges and Ghent, biking road, etc. The house has everything what is needed. There is nothing offered by owner ( like tea, sugar, coffee,etc..) Only some leftovers from the previous guests. The first floor of the house is spacious and very cozy, . The stairs to the second floor where the bedrooms are very steep and narrow. So this might create the problem for little kids or elderly people. To get the second bedroom, you need to cross the first one. And the door between bedrooms is way too formal. However, if you are close family , it's not the problem. Like us - we really enjoy staying together. There are 5 bikes so one can use them to explore the area. The house is very clean., and nice pond on the property. There is a big grocery store near by.It was very easy to contact the owner, including check in and check out.I would recommend this house.Thank you Joke for having us.

Amazing place to stay - highly recommended
We were really happy with the place as it was exactly what you would expect form the profile. It is in a nice town not too far from Bruges, set in a lovely rural area. We took the bikes out for rides, and local amenities are close by. Joke was laid back and easily contactable so everything was straightforward. The accommodation was perfect, really modern and homely. Nothing to complain about, only great things to say! Thanks again!!!!

A Hidden Gem! 💎
We are a family of four with 1 child, 1 teen & our 2 much beloved Cavalier King Charles Spaniel dogs. On arrival to our destination we were greeted what we can only describe as an absolute hidden gem! A country house surrounded by countryside. It is beautiful. We instantly fell in love & wanted to move in lol. We were surprised that a property as luxurious as Carpe Diem allowed our 2 pets it was wonderful as we love to travel with them as much as we can. The property was very clean & cosy & very well maintained. Joke & Dimitri are very hospitable & nothing asked was too much trouble. We very much enjoyed the use of the bikes that are included for use with the property. We biked to Brugge & back on most days of our stay. Even though the property is located in the countryside. There’s a supermarket, chip shop, cafe’s & restaurants, train station all within walking distance or short distance by bike ride. The garden to the property is huge & there were fruit trees & even a grape vine. There’s also a children’s play area. There’s a good sized pond with various koi carp & the kids enjoyed feeding them. We enjoyed our stay so much that we instantly re-booked up with the owner whilst still on our holiday & we can’t wait to return in May this year. Thanks again Joke & Dimitri! We all very much look forward to seeing you soon 😃 From all the Frost Family including our 2 dogs, Dinky🐶🐾 & Toy 🐶🐾 💕

Relaxing time had by all
Carpe Diem is well suited to both those who wish to relax in its grounds and take in the quietness of the countryside, or make use of the well maintained bikes and cycle along the safe routes at hand. We did both. There is a good choice of paths for cycling along, stopping to pick blackberries en route, watch out for wildlife, or by the side of the canal to pond dip - the bucket was actually provided, together with an identification chart! It is possible to cycle along to Brugge, but we weren't that energetic! However, we did drive there, and to Gent and to the Zoute area of Knokke-Heist- where we found many free to enter art galleries in the latter. Access to the motorway is easy from the house and in the first two towns we parked in Interparking car parks, with reasonable day rates, walking or taking the tram in. Back at the house, we used the trampoline and made use of the boules. There is plenty of outside space at the property. The garden furniture is plentiful and comfortable. You can also eat at the outside table and watch the carp (and frogs) in the pond. Inside the property, Carpe Diem has a lovely, modern decor and is very well equipped as your home from home stay. The view from the larger, suspended bedroom is marvellous. The owner was very welcoming on our arrival, providing necessary information for our stay, and available at the end of the phone should we have needed her. For the three of us, it was an ideal size in a very peaceful location and we had a very enjoyable stay.

Alsook de trappen staan vermeld op de site dat het een steile trap is alsook inderdaad een trapje om binnen te komen....jammer dat jullie honden er moeite mee hadden maar daar verder nog geen klachten van gehad. Bedankt voor jullie verblijf! Fijne zomer nog.

Der Blick aus dem Bett nach Osten durch den Glasgiebel ist wunderschön, das Au@engelände sehr groß. Man kann sehr schön am Kanal entlang nach Brügge radeln. Auch zum Einkaufen geht es gut mit dem Rad (ca. 700 m). Wir hatten nur Probleme, fas Haus zu finden, da es hinter den Häusern, die an der Straße liegen, versteckt ist. Die Zielangabe in der FeWo-App ist nicht korrekt. Das einzige, was es einschränkend zu "bemängeln" gab, war, dass sämtliche Messer extrem stumpf waren und man damit kaum etwas anfangen konnte.

Atmosphärisch und ruhig Urlaub machen
Das Haus ist wirklich sehr stilvoll und hochwertig eingerichtet. TOP! Das Grundstück ist sehr groß, ruhig gelegen und gerade auch mit Hund sehr entspannend. Das Haus selbst, ein Traum wie gesagt, ist in einem offenen Stil gehalten, heißt der Schlafbereich ist in einer separaten Etage unter das Dach "gehängt", die Treppe dorthin sehr steil und durch den offenen Stil kann man nicht wirklich von Privatsphäre sprechen. Obendrein sind die beiden (französichen) Doppelbetten aus Platzgründen sehr schmal. Diese Tatsachen sollte man vorher wissen! Wem das nicht stört ist bestens aufgehoben. Der Gartenbereich könnte ein wenig Pflege gebrauchen, aber bei den Wetterverhältnissen derzeit, hat man da Verständnis. Die Umgebung ist ruhig, man ist schnell auf der Autobahn mit hervorrander Anbindung in die Nord-Süd-Bereiche... Brügge, Gent, Oostende und natürlich Brüssel sind per PKW super zu erreichen. Wir (4Personen+Hund) hatten eine super tolle Zeit und können aus unserer Sicht das Objekt wärmstens empfehlen! Man fährt durch's Grundstückstor und ist sofort im Urlaub:-)
