“Outstanding hospitality and food”

We stayed with my disabled 88 year old mother on our way from England to Hamburg. We couldn’t have had more friendly and welcoming service, offering to make coffees for us, etc. The buildings are all new and spotlessly clean. Great for business and pleasure.

The restaurant was an unexpected treat.... Michelin starred food just off the the motorway!

“Very nice and spacious room”

The b&b is one of the best one I have been. The room is super clean and the interior design is great. It's not huge but you have everything you need, a separate toilet an amazing shower and a super comfortable bad and pillows.

“excellent restaurant and B&B”

A well equiped and beautiful Bed & Breakfast in a relaxing area. We enjoyed the superb food and excellent service in the very cosy restaurant. Splendid surroundings on the river Schelde, ideal for calm and beautiful walks in the Hamme and Waasmunster region.

“Expectation vs reality - this is a B&B for couples, not families”

On the positives, this B&B is perfect for couples. Unfortunately the majority of the previous reviews concentrate on style over practicalities when you look past the design. Unless you look at the website photos in detail you may miss that the ‘family’ rooms have a top floor only accessed by a 15ft… Mehr

On the positives, this B&B is perfect for couples. Unfortunately the majority of the previous reviews concentrate on style over practicalities when you look past the design. Unless you look at the website photos in detail you may miss that the ‘family’ rooms have a top floor only accessed by a 15ft ladder. This ladder is dangerous for anyone under 10 or over 45, rendering the whole space unusable for many guests. This is unfortunate as the B&B has a decent playground for young children and at first sight appears child-friendly. The self-proclaimed ‘high end’ restaurant which shares the name of the B&B is run independently. This is the major problem of staying at the hotel with a family. The restaurant simply have no interest in catering for children. The hugely overpriced offer of ‘chicken with french fries’ as a children’s dish illustrates their lack of imagination and interest. Restaurant staff were dismissive of any feedback and simply suggested cancelling our dinner reservations, missing out on two adult tasting meals. We were generally surprised that a chef who presumably aspires to gaining a Michelin rosette would not bother to put any effort into a children’s menu. I guess this is reflected in the relatively generic 2021 review in the Michelin Guide with the simple award of ‘good cooking’. We ate sharing plates in the bar as an alternative which was not ideal, but the bar staff were very friendly and attentive. If you are a couple, do not let this review put you off the B&B, but as a family book two rooms and be aware that the restaurant is pretentious and unwelcoming for children.
