Such a lovely place to stay. The apartment was in a building connected to the main mansion, so make sure to follow the directions that are sent to you about finding it if yours is there as well. Perfectly decorated, very comfortable room. The main mansion, it was so lonely and authentically historic. The owner and the operator is on call when she is not there. Do not hesitate to call her. She gave me a wonderful tour of the grounds, including the hunting lodge and hothouse.

Amazing place to stay. We booked a room for 2 Adults & 2 Children which gave us two double bedrooms within one small apartment type setting with a good sized bathroom (and huge bath). All very spacious and plenty of room. Gardens is massive which you can walk around very pleasant in summer Alex (host) is extremely warming on arrival and nothing is too much trouble Nice and quiet area I would highly recommend this accommodation

Diese Unterkunft ist wunderschön! Liebevoll geführt von der „Schlossherrin“ die nicht nur den Empfang, Büro etc. managet sondern zudem auch in der Schlossküche ein wunderschönes Frühstück zaubert. Von selbst gemachtem Granola bis hin zum frisch gepressten Orangensaft ist alles was das Herz begehrt dabei. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt. Die Unterkunft ist wie auf den Fotos zu sehen geschmackvoll und bis ins kleinste Detail wunderschön gestaltet. Ein Traum um nebenbei Gent zu besuchen. Danke für die kleine wunderschöne Auszeit von unserem Alltag.

Erg gastvrij en een prachtige locatie! De grote tuin met klein privé bos is perfect voor een kort wandelingetje en je hebt er alle ruimte om te kunnen ontspannen. Wij waren met een gezin van 5 waarbij we perfect konden slapen in Suite Theresa. Ook voor zakelijk doeleinden is dit een ideale pluk als je even tot rust wilt komen.
