Cosy wooden house!
I stayed at the lovely wooden house with my Mother and 1.5 year old son. Marc and his wife were so lovely, kind and helpful to us during our stay. Rest assured you can ask them anything and they will look after you as guests.
The house is quirky, with interesting art work, fabulous kitchen and lounge area, with a great TV and wifi. There is also the bonus of a separate utility room leading to the garden. The house was spotlessly clean and warm and cosy.
The area is safe and so quiet and peaceful at night! The local bus can be found just a few minutes walk away into the centre of Ghent (38/39) and the bus stop is down the road, turn left. We purchased a bus pass with 10 trips on the ticket from the local Carrefour supermarket (turn right at bottom of street, approx 10 minute walk). There is also a very large Carrefour which is only a 5 minute drive away (turn left at bottom of street and then left again at T junction).
Dampoort train station is close by which we used to get a train to Antwerp. We drove to Bruges in 45 minutes and parked right in the centre in a car park called St John’s, which I recommend.
Ghent is a beautiful city!! I recommend getting in by bus as this is much easier due to emission zones by car. Good places to visit with kids would be the Harry Malter Zoo and Blaarmeersen Lake had great parks and beaches for children, we saw after we visited that the 39 bus actually goes there direct from the wooden house.
Thank you for having us to stay!
