We spent a few days here at the start of December for all the Christmas markets and historical attractions. Reading through the previous reviews there is not much I can add really but have to mention how friendly and knowledgable Cath and Dries are (the owners). Every morning we were greeted with a joyful and happy Cathy and then was... more

Bruges is breathtaking, never quite seen anything like it. The contrast is at an excellent location, very quiet and just a 5 minute walk to the Burg. Rooms are clean, breakfast was a huge spread, stayed in the new room on top facing the canal, lovely to wake up and see the swans lazing around more

My wife and I spent two nights in this beautiful B&B in central Bruges. Perfect location - a 5 minute walk to the main square but on a side street away from the noise, on a peaceful canal with the most swans in the city.

Brugge was lovely and all the more so due to our charming hosts, Cathy & Drees! We enjoyed 3 nights`accommodation in the red room overlooking the sunny garden. The room was modern & spare but offered comfortable beds & crisp, clean linen. A skylight /loft was an added bonus & I especially enjoyed being awoken each morning by a rooster... more

We stayed at the Contrast Hotel in late March 2009. This B&B has a lot of charm. The hotel room was large in size, clean, located right on the canal on the 3rd floor, and felt very private and comfortable. Breakfast was amazing! Cathy is a wonderful hostess. I arranged the booking via email with Cathy. The hotel is about... more

When we arrived in Brugges the sun was just beginning to set, and what a wonderful view from our room we had of the canal and sunset! The room was comfortable, with a beautiful bathroom, and nice clean bed, and wood floors. I loved the coffee/tea pot in the room, and used it several times. The owners went above and... more

We stayed here for two nights and it was excellent. The owners, Cathy and her husband are really nice people who helped us with every question we had. They provided us with a folder full of information on Bruges, including a map and a lot of useful information. They also recommended restaurants and places to visit. The room was very... more
