Our first stay at Bergenhuis was wonderful and we were soon addicted to holidaying in these fantastic buildings, so full of character and ideally located in such a beautiful town in the heart of francophone Flanders. Over the years we have come to know the owner and neighbours, and now feel very much part of the community.
Bergenhuis is our first-choice holiday location. We cannot envisage a better holiday destination.

A Bijou Property
The accommodation belongs to a delightful "local" family who are happy to help you have great holiday in Bergues. The rooms are cosy but well formed and in the centre of town. The bathroom has been recently renovated and the hot water and pressure was excellent. Laundry facilities are shared by the other two apartments ( rented by the same family) in the building and are of commercial quality. The parking was problematic as the apartment is in the centre but we always managed to get a carpark nearby. The accomodation is exactly as described and gives you an excellent introduction to Bergues - which is a town full of character!
Located within the city walls, this second floor apartment was well equipped for our stay. A kitchen/living/dining space (open concept) greets you on entry, and a bathroom (shower, sink, toilet and storage) complete this floor. Up a flight of stairs to the bedrooms, the main comprised of a double and a single, the other containing 2 singles. No toilet on this level. Comfortable bed, could open the window (no screens so watch for mosquitos) to get the breezes in, as it tended to be very warm. Wifi good downstairs but tended not to be as strong upstairs. Amenities included large fridge, dishwasher, stove and plenty of dishes,TV (never turned on). Owners extremely helpful in anything you require and a nice gift was left for us on arrival. Key exchange was easy, as was booking and communicating.
Property is close to many walking distance bakeries, groceries, and a couple of restaurants. Better restaurants are available by driving short distances away. You can easily walk around the town and see the sights (and have picnics in various locations). Recommended.
Die Ferienwohnung hat uns sehr gut gefallen, komfortabel in der kleinen Innenstadt. Modernes Badezimmer, Sonnenschutz und komplett ausgestattete KĂŒche. Der Vermieter war sehr nett und hilfsbereit, wies uns auf viele Ausflugsmöglichkeiten hin. FahrrĂ€der standen ebenfalls zur VerfĂŒgung. Wir fĂŒhlten uns sehr gut dort aufgehoben. Insgesamt ein sehr netter Kontakt, den wir unbedingt empfehlen können.
Lovely, central place to stay and explore Bergues and surrounding areas
Loved the property! Was perfect for our stay. We were able to walk around and not have to use the car all the time. Eric the owner meet us on arrival and was full of knowledge about Bergues and was very welcoming and helpful. The property itself was clean and inviting. Would definitely recommend it!
In the past we have always driven through this area to holiday somewhere else, and after a week spent in this lovely, friendly walled town, we wish we had stopped off years ago. The town is so interesting, with walks around the top of, and the outside of the town walls, the climb to the top of the belfry, the Sunday morning car boot sale and Monday morning market. Short car journeys take you to the dunes at the coast, the hillier area inland, and the interesting towns of Belgian Flanders. So much to, so much to see. Eric's help was welcome, both before, and on, our arrival. Thanks for an excellent week.
Perfect apartment- clean-all amenities with wi-fi. Close to main little square with plenty of places to eat and drink. Little supermarket just around the corner and a lovely fresh vegetables shop opposite. Bruges is quaint with many interesting other towns to visit close by . Eric was helpful from start to finish with suggestions of places to visit and eat. We enjoyed our stay very much
Bergues was an unexpected delightful city to find and the property was ideally situated to enjoy all there was to enjoy. The apartment was very clean, beautifully decorated and well stocked with everything a self catering holiday could need as well as being placed close to shops, bars, restaurant. Eric and his wife were so helpful and friendly. our 5 day stay to short to enjoy all the area and city has to offer.
