Elke and Wout are lovely. They are generous, kind, and sensitive hosts. Their home is beautiful. You will be treated to big breakfasts served on lovely China with delicious homemade bread, eggs from their own chickens, homemade jams, locally made cheeses and various meats. Dinner is also fantastic and Wout does a perfect blue steak, wonderful fish dishes and his frites are fantastic! The Dining Room has a wonderful aspect. It has lots of natural light as it overlooks the River Scheldekant and cycle path. The tables are spaciously arranged. There is an adjacent room to the dining room which contains a baby grand piano and if you’re lucky you may get the chance to play it. We stayed in the Room Suite which was beautifully designed. The stairs leading up to it are a bit steep so if you have mobility issues you might prefer a different room. The Suite had a large free standing bath plus walk-in shower, two separate basins and was stuffed with very nice toiletries. There was also a fridge which had an amazing selection of wines situated in the library, and a large desk in an alcove. There were plenty of plug sockets in the bedroom and on the desk. The bedroom had large windows on both sides so one could view the River Scheldekant and cycle path whatever side of the bed you were on. In short everything was outstanding. If The Savoy Hotel in London did a B&B this would be it.
