Bed & breakfasts in Belgium

Unlike a whole holiday home, at a B&B you book per room. Ideal for a short escape for two, a stopover on a longer trip or a weekend when you would rather not cook yourself. The host welcomes you in person, shares tips for the loveliest spots nearby and has breakfast ready in the morning.

From a charming room in a townhouse in West Flanders to a quiet guest room in the Ardennes: below you can see, for each B&B, which rooms are on offer, what breakfast includes and the price from which you can book. Choose your room, book directly with the host and pay no commission.

Belgium is a country of short distances and plenty of character, perfect for a B&B stay. In a single weekend you can combine a walk in the Ardennes with a visit to a historic city, or a day by the sea with an evening in a cosy village café. A B&B as your base keeps you close to local life.

B&B hosts in Belgium often do it out of love for their home and their region. Many rooms are set in restored townhouses, farmhouses or village homes with a story of their own. You will find a homemade breakfast, a warm welcome and the honest tips you will not read in any guidebook.

A B&B sits between a hotel and a holiday home. As in a hotel, you sleep in a room and need to prepare nothing: breakfast is ready for you in the morning. But unlike a hotel, there is no anonymous front desk. The host usually lives in or next to the house and welcomes you in person. That is the difference between simply staying somewhere and feeling truly welcome.

Compared with a holiday home, you give up some privacy and independence, as you share the house with the host and sometimes with other guests. In return you gain comfort and company: no shopping, no washing-up, no end-of-stay cleaning, and always someone to point you the way. For a short trip for two, that ease often outweighs the extra space of a whole house.

In the Ardennes you will find B&Bs in old farmhouses, village homes and restored townhouses, often with a view of the hills and within walking distance of the woods. They make ideal bases for an active weekend of walking, cycling or kayaking, with a homemade breakfast to look forward to in the evening. The choice is widest around Durbuy, La Roche, Spa and the Semois valley.
