Cottage 1815: Waterloo Battlefields

Gite with particular style (the tower is dreaming children and some large) very comfortable with living room (sofa bed 2 pers), semi equipped kitchen (percolator, fridge with freezer, microwave oven / grill, 4 vitro plates), large table, two bedrooms upstairs (one dedicated to two adults bed 160x200 and a second for young with two beds: 80x200 and 90x200), bathroom (rain shower, toilet and infrared sauna, sink, hair dryer), garage for bike. Wireless. Parking 3 cars.
The accommodation is newly furnished, we wanted to make it very cozy. When our visitors enter, we are usually entitled to a "Wow" that rewards us for our efforts.
The rental is minimum 2 nights.
Note that the sheets and towels are not provided by us, on request this service is possible for a fee (info on request), pillows and duvets are provided in the rental. A cot is possible on request for a supplement of 10 €.
The accommodation is provided with a small garden area with a large table-bench and some garden chairs and parasol stored in the garage (+ ironing board).
We also draw the attention of our travelers to the fact that the cottage is geared towards families and real tourists. We are not looking for visitors who book to party and drink excessively. Drug use is prohibited. This is unfortunately the result of negative but rare experiences.
Access is complete to the dwelling.
The garage is only partially available (up to 2-3 bikes max).
The driveway serves as parking, you can leave up to 4 cars during your stay.

Wonderful Stay- We Can't Wait to Stay Here Again!
Our trip to Belgium was made complete by the wonderful hospitality we received during our stay at the cottage. We felt completely at home right from the beginning when the owners met us at the door to show us around. The location is fantastic and made it easy to get to numerous locations in Belgium. We cannot imagine staying anywhere else the next time we return! We will remember this trip fondly.

Splendid stay at Braine-l’ Alleud!!
We had a super amazing stay in this cottage which is set in quaint surroundings, and yet is at easy reach to popular places/sites. We used it as our base to do day visits to Brussels, Hallerbos and Leuven. Fabienne and Rudy were such lovely hosts, they live in their house in the same property, they spent time talking to us giving us very useful tips for our sightseeing, and generally filling us in on the history/geography of Belgium, which was very nice of them, they are genuinely caring/welcoming/friendly people which made our stay very homely and we felt much welcomed (even had a welcome note on the board). The cottage had a spacious living, kitchen and bathroom areas, the sauna being the highlight of the bathroom. We enjoyed the music facility in the living area, something we have never seen in our previous holidays. The bar and the attached sitting area was a big bonus, again something we have never come across before. Very nice views of the surrounding area from the upstairs balcony (this is the interesting bit of the castle looking part). The heating worked wonderfully well and very easy to operate, same goes for the hob. The hosts had left a lot of leaflets to find out about sightseeing and also had a very comprehensive book with information about the house (including its history), where things are kept, local eatouts, local sightseeing etc. which was very useful. All in all, we enjoyed our stay so much and will return anytime we can :-) Loved the welcome cookies!!

Wonderful stay
Wonderful stay at a good price, just a short walk around the corner from Waterloo Monument and 2 restaurants. The cottage was well done, cozy, comfortable; and clean; make sure to bring your linen though [queen and 2 twins]. Brussels and Ghent was just a short drive away with quick access to the autobahns.

GEM!
A bit hard to find in the dark, but the hosts were so helpful-even came out to the road to wave us in! You can seriously see the Butte de Lion from the drive and walk there in less than 10mins-easy walk. My kids begged all day to go home from Brussels to play in the “castle” instead since they loved the tower so much. So easy to get to the grocery store and cook at home (or hit a local cafe)! Just amazing and then……add in the sauna….🤯💕
