Great person holding the barge, very kind, clean and singular location, perfect breakfast also.
FranceEverything was great. And the Mr. Was very helpful and nice
LebanonLocation was great and hosts were lovely. A lovely option for Bruge and walking distance to the Christmas markets in the centre of the city (10 mins). Rooms small but would expect that given it’s on a boat. Lovely breakfast included.
IrelandOn the water in excellent position to explore Bruges.Friendly hosts.
United KingdomAllround excellent. Immaculately clean, superb breakfast, The owners, Kris and Patsie, were great hosts, very friendly. It was just like staying at a good friends house, or boat!!
United KingdomVery friendly welcome, clean room and facilities and a lovely breakfast with a great views of the canal
United KingdomWe were greeted by the lovely owners who were very helpful and provided us with useful information about the area. Inside the barge was stunning. We were in awe of the vessel which the owners call their home and open to travellers. We would love to think that some day we could achieve a similar lifestyle. The bedroom was perfect for a couple such as ourselves who were only staying for a short stay with our backpacks. The bed was sooo comfy and the en suite was spacious and clean. The breakfast was delicious and we were very impressed with the homemade food. We really did not want to leave. The vessel was quiet in addition to its surroundings and we enjoyed the peace. The owners were also helpful in allowing us to leave our backpacks safely with them after our check out time as our train was later in the day and we wanted to explore the city without our luggage.
United KingdomExactly as the pictures and descriptions would have you believe. Lovely place to stay, perfect for a two night visit to Bruges. Hosts are welcoming, friendly and very helpful, beds very comfortable, shower facilities excellent, breakfast great.
United KingdomBeautifully restored barge, with extremely hospitable and friendly hosts. Delicious, generous breakfast, comfortable room, easy walk into town. Everything you could want for your stay...can't recommend this property highly enough.
AustraliaGreat, comfortable place to stay. Lovely hosts. Very quiet. Just what you want for a weekend away.

Hosted by Kris and Patsie
Kris and Patsie
After a hectic life in ICT and physical education, Kris and Patsie decided to change course and offer relaxing barge cruises in Belgium and France on their live-abord hotelship Johanna in summer. During winter season, the rooms are available for B&B in Bruges. We both love meeting new people and sharing information, having a pleasant chat or just see that our guests are happy.
Being moored on the canal just outside the city center of Bruges, this is one of the most quiet areas to stay. In the morning you may be woken by quacking ducks swimming beneath the portholes. Apart from the historic city of Bruges at walking distance from the schip, Damme and Sluis are at cycling distance (6 and 15km) along the canal. Even the Belgian coast is worth a visit, with Ostend at 25km, or the Belle Epoque village of De Haan and the mondaine city of Knokke with its many modern art galleries, golf course and "The Zwin" nature reserve.
