This is a special, magical place, run by a lovely, kind, interesting family. It's a good little walk to get to the city center but there are interesting shops and cafes along the path. Highly recommend just getting lost in the streets of Gent, there is so much to see. We saw live music at Trefpunt, sampled genever at Dreupelkot and just rambled around admiring the scenery.
The Marie Reine is a stunning place to stay and we would love to come back. Thanks to Ruth and Etienne for being such kind and generous hosts.
