When my brother and I visited Belgium, we stayed at this abbey since we know one of the monks there. He took us on day trips to Brugge and Ghent. It was a wonderful experience, but that was mainly because we were connected to the abbey. The abbey is located a few miles outside of Brugge. Unless you have a car or bike, the only way to get there from Brugge is by taxi, which was quite expensive. If you are looking for a very peaceful place to stay and would like to experience the tranquility of the abbey, this is the place. If you want to experience the night life of Brugge and are just looking for a place to base yourself while you explore surrounding areas, this is not the place (they lock the doors to the guest house in the evening). The rooms are comfortably spartan and very clean. You make your own bed upon arrival; bedding is provided. In your room you have a sink, bathrooms and showers are located down the hall; you must also provide your own towel. I can''t wait to return to spend more time there.
