B&B Het Tijdloze Uur

A wonderful stay in a beautifully maintained property on the outskirts of Drongen by the river. The host was incredibly welcoming, friendly and helpful. She made us (me and my mum) feel at home from the very moment we met. On our arrival and for an additional amount (a very reasonable 30 euros each) she made us our first evening meal - which was incredibly delicious. The breakfasts were excellent, with plenty of choice - hot & cold. The property is also in very peaceful location (though a pub was being renovated nearby - so that might change), which met for a good night's sleep after busy day trips into Ghent and Brussels.

The location isn't all that near to Ghent. The main bus stop in Drongen (the centre of the village) is about a 25 minutes brisk walk. Once you get there it is then a 20-25 minutes bus into Ghent town centre or to the main station - Gent-Sint-Peters. Word of warning - if you get a Ghent Pass (48 hours/72 hours) which presents good value for money - you can use it on the all the buses to/from Drongen but it doesn't allow you to use the mainline train from Gent-Sint-Peters to Drongen.
