Burgemeestershof

Romantic weekend

A romantic weekend away, a quarter of an hour from Ghent

No hotel corridor with forty doors, no breakfast buffet with two hundred people. Six rooms in a restored mayor's residence among the meadows, and a private wellness you reserve separately — then the complex is yours alone for 2.5 hours.

What a weekend here looks like

You arrive between 15:00 and 22:00 and are welcomed personally — no check-in desk. The rooms sit under the original beams of an 18th-century square farmstead; three of them have a free-standing bubble bath in the room itself.

In the morning breakfast is ready with produce from the region: from 07:00 on weekdays, from 08:00 at weekends and on public holidays, last service at 10:20. Check-out is before 11:00, or until 12:00 if you add a late check-out.

In between you do nothing, or something: the garden, the pool table, a 9.8 km walking route from the village square of Wetteren, or a 26.6 km cycling route along the Scheldt quay. Both routes are ready for you as a PDF.

What people come here for

An anniversary, a birthday, a Valentine's weekend, or simply the first two days in months without a schedule. What those occasions have in common: it is about being the two of you, not about a programme.

That is why the private wellness works so well here. You share it with nobody: during your 2.5-hour session the entire complex is assigned to you — pool, sauna, jacuzzi, steam room and the massage chairs. Anyone with something to celebrate adds tapas and cava.

And if you want to give it as a present: a voucher for a stay, a wellness session or both can be ordered online, and the recipient picks their own date.

Where you end up

The Burgemeestershof stands in Massemen, a village belonging to Wetteren, among the meadows at the edge of the Scheldt water meadows. Fifteen minutes from Ghent, half an hour from Brussels; the E40 motorway is close by. Ghent that close means an evening in the city is still an option.

The entrance to the B&B is on the Kortenbosstraat, around the corner from the mansion on the Kriephoekstraat — that is our private home.

FAQ

When is it quietest here?

Midweek, and outside the school holidays. For a weekend with wellness, book a few weeks ahead: the Saturday evening sessions go first.

Can you arrange something as a surprise?

Tapas and cava can be added to the wellness. If you have something else in mind, mention it when booking — we are happy to think along, but we would rather not promise in advance what we cannot be sure of.

Is there a Valentine's offer?

We do not use separate Valentine's pricing. The Romantic package — an overnight stay with breakfast plus 2.5 hours of private wellness — is the same all year, February included.

Can we check out later?

Yes, until 12:00 instead of 11:00. Add it while booking, so we keep the room free for you.

Can our dog come along?

Yes, your dog is welcome and there is a large garden. Just mention it when booking. The wellness is not open to pets.
