Wij hebben met Kerst 3 dagen mogen logeren in de blauwe cottage van de familie Vanhercke. Het was in 1 woord TOP!!!! S'morgens heerlijk champagne ontbijt, perfect verzorgd. Op advies van Ingrid uitstekend gegeten in het Hof van Laarne (7 gangen Kerst menu), daarna de open haard aan, filmpje erbij wat wil een mens nog meer! De volgende dag naar Gent geweest en s'avonds vlakbij de cottage gegeten bij Verseau (hoop dat ik dit goed schrijf...). Dit was ook heel goed voor een hele schappelijke prijs! Wij hebben 3 romantische dagen gehad en komen zeker, met familieleden, terug!

Review: Hi, Ingrid, Dan and girls, Well, we're finally back home again after a wonderful two months seeing Europe, and I must say that meeting you and staying in your beautiful cottage was a highlight of our trip! We will always remember the champagne toast on our anniversary, the crowns the girls made for us, and your wonderful hospitality, and we hope that you may be able to visit us here in the U.S. someday in the near future.

Just so you know, your place was the best, most comfortable spot we stayed in during our holiday. I have sent a letter to Rick Steve's e-mail address, giving you a top revue so we'll have to see if he publishes it. When I checked his page, it looked as though the letters weren't published right away, but who knows? If you'ld like to give out my name and e-mail address as someone from whom inquiring travelers can get a recommendation, feel free. I'd be happy to tell them about how delightful your place and your family are. Wishing you the best of luck, Trudy Reviewier: Jean Guy Duchesne Guylaine Babin ( jgdgb@nunanet.com) Length of stay: one wonderful week Review: For those of you out there, who are planning a trip in Belgium and want a place where you will feel right at home, you MUST go to the Vanhercke Bed Breakfast. The cottage is very beautiful with all the commodities. Daniel, Ingrid, Ellen and Laura, once again, thank you very much for your hospitality. You are the nicest people we have ever met. It was nice being able to share some family moments with you. Because of you, we will forever keep wonderful memories of our trip to Belgium.

If you intend to visit Belgium by car, this is the place. ALL is central. We and my friends stayed there 7 days.Ingrid and Daniel are marvelous. There are for you maps, a lot, in several scales. Do not forget to see Bruges and it is very easy and near Holand. I hope to go there again in the winter time. You are at home with the Vanherckes. Don´t forget Ingrid is a very expert in computer & internet, it is a "must" in an emergency...

This was an excellent experience. Ingrid was so helpful,generous and thoughtful. We were traveling with friends and we all agreed the 4 days we spent there were superior! The location is very convenient to Gent Brugges where English is readily spoken. Hats off to the Vanherck's!! And many thanks and wishes!!
