Our secluded ancient farmhouse is only 20 min away from Durbuy and Ciney and 30 min from Namur, Liège and Rochefort and provides all modern comfort whilst maintaining the allure and warm atmosphere of the past. Experience the serene and cozy atmosphere, perfect for unwinding with your loved ones in complete seclusion. Ideal for family gatherings and bonding with friends. If we are around, we are more than happy to show you around and inform you about the ins and outs of our cottage. If this would not be possible, we will make sure that everything is cleared out and keys are available in a lock box. We made a leaflet ((still under construction) explaining the things you need to know about the house and also giving some tips and tricks regarding things to do, where the eat and drink and what to see in the neighbourhood Neighbourhood | Our house is surrounded by meadows and woods and an endless amount of narrow but muddy pathways. Don’t forget your rubber boots for the numerous strolls along these trails or bring your 4x4 (winch fitted like our good old Jeep a.k.a. Willy) or Motorbike to hit one of the many country roads while visiting one of the many castles or cities in this neighbourhood. Shopping | Albeit the countryside location, all the necessary shops are very close by (Delhaize in Havelange, Spar in Clavier, Okay in Ohey, etc.) Private | Our cottage is yours during your stay and you can freely use the bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen, garden, dining room, living room, patio. Since we sometimes go back to relax, you might find some personal stuff in a wardrobe or the fridge. Check-in | If we are not around, We will give you all instructions shortly before your arrival. Holiday House | We recently renovated our ancient cottage so it regained its splendour of yesteryear. We try to restore it by only using antique and/or old (re-used or up-cycled) building materials without compromising on today’s comfort. Our secluded house is on a semi private road, which makes it very calm and silent (except for chirping birds and the sound of the nearby a rippling creek ;-)). Bedrooms | We have 3 bedrooms with double beds of 160 cm wide. 1 bedroom serves as a passage to a second bedroom. Bathrooms (2) | Soap bubbles galore! Are you more into taking a relaxed bath or a quick shower? There is no need to be decisive! Relax, turn-down the lights and submerge (even with two) in our copper bath tub. Quick morning showers can be enjoyed together as well, in the big walk-in shower downstairs or the bathroom upstairs adjacent to one of the bedrooms. Living Room | Sleeping in front of the open fire (not yet available). Kitchen | Foodies united! The kitchen is fully equipped and fitted with a English ever-hot AGA Range Cooker offering 2 gas hobs, 2 big coup-de-feu plates and four ovens. Japanese Damascus steel kitchen knives, dish washer, combi microwave and oven and induction hobs to be used during summer times when the AGA range cookers shuts off. BBQ | Fire up the Barbecue Outside in the backyard next to the back door, you find our grill. Garden | Weeds are flowers too, once you get to know them! Find your inner peace in the garden by reading a book in the tree swing chair, having an apéro on the patio or cooking some slow cooked succulent meat on the grill.

Maar niet eerlijke voorstelling . Aga fornuis staat uit tot zeker oktober. Staat houten keuken stoelen binnen en buiten. Dus niet echt comfi zitten. Bank ook antiek laag en doorgezakt. Maar nog erger na 3 dg jeuk in bed . Foto met Google lens gemaakt kwam bedwans uit. Zijn op dag 3 snacht acuut vertrokken daardoor. Inplaats van de 7 dg. Na goed kijken bleek het in alle drie de bedden te zitten donkere spikkels. Foto's gemaakt ook doorgestuurd naar Frédéric. De conclusie van hem hij had bedrijf ingehuurd zei hij. Wat bleek zijn poetsvrouw haar conclusie was aarde . Alsof 2 oudere mensen vies op alle 3 de bedden gaan liggen met ergens aarde. Poetsvrouw suggereerde zelfs doen mensen wel meer om niet te hoeven betalen. Wij zijn vast voor ons lol om 2 uur snachts vertrokken . Thuis alle kleding gewassen ook wat niet gedragen was. En dingen die niet heet gewassen konden worden in de vriezer gedaan. Koffers ontsmet en 4 dg buiten gezet. Nee dat doen gasten vast voor hun plezier toch. Diep teleurgesteld en na deze reactie van host tegemoetkoming gevraagd. Toen was communicatie weg. Sorry zou nooit meer hier iets boeken. ##### RenskeT ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Van der Valk Hotel Gent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ghent-Hotels-Van-Der-Valk-Hotel-Gent.h65238275.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Colombia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Colombia-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d38-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [ibis budget Gent Centrum Dampoort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ghent-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Gent-Centrum-Dampoort.h19471161.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Liverpool](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Liverpool-Hotels.d6046241.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [ibis Styles La Louvière](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Louviere-Hotels-Ibis-Styles-La-Louviere.h5485030.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Göbekli Tepe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gobekli-Tepe-Hotels.0-l6331425-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Residence Inn by Marriott Ghent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ghent-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Ghent.h39575574.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Ieper Centrum Flanders Fields](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ypres-Hotels-Novotel-Ieper-Centrum-Flanders-Fields.h797274.Hotel-Information) > > [Servatur Puerto Azul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mogan-Hotels-Servatur-Puerto-Azul.h1154535.Hotel-Information) > > [Paralos Venus Suites - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Venus-Mare-Apartments.h1341937.Hotel-Information) > > [Spend the night in a private spa for couples with sauna hammam jaccuzi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mouscron-Hotels-Spend-The-Night-In-A-Private-Spa-For-Couples-With-Sauna-Hammam-Jaccuzi.h37027293.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Dubai World Trade Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dubai-World-Trade-Centre-Hotels.0-l553248621563757428-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Ski Hotels in Andorra](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Andorra-Ski-Hotels.0-0-d4-tSkiHotels.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotel De Vossemeren by Center Parcs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lommel-Hotels-Hotel-De-Vossemeren-By-Center-Parcs.h31727256.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Liège Centre Opéra](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Liege-Hotels-Ibis-Liege-Centre-Opera.h182002.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Liege Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grace-Hollogne-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Liege-Airport.h1631420.Hotel-Information) > > [Kavuras Village Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Naxos-Hotels-Kavuras-Village.h13253240.Hotel-Information) > > [Family-Friendly Hotels in French Alps](https://www.expedia.co.uk/French-Alps-Hotels-Family-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d3000655051-tFamilyFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Dolce by Wyndham La Hulpe Brussels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brussels-Hotels-Dolce-By-Wyndham-La-Hulpe-Brussels.h1588367.Hotel-Information) > > [Kalimera Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Corfu-Hotels-Kalimera-Apartments.h37053553.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Sunparks Kempense Meren](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mol-Hotels-Hotel-Sunparks-Kempense-Meren.h31827336.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Alize Mouscron](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mouscron-Hotels-Hotel-Alize-Mouscron.h1497968.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Farnborough (FAB) to Manchester (MAN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/fab/man/farnborough-to-manchester) > > [Flights from Mumbai (BOM) to Jamnagar (JGA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bom/jga/mumbai-to-jamnagar) > > [Flights from Liverpool (LPL) to Arlanda (ARN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lpl/arn/liverpool-to-stockholm) > > [Flights from Birmingham (BHX) to Kefalonia (EFL)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bhx/efl/birmingham-to-argostolion) ### Packages > [Parish Church of Sant Roma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Parish-Church-Of-Sant-Roma-Lloret-Town-Center.d6248168.Attraction) > > [Northumberland Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Northumberland.d6046225.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Mnemba Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mnemba-Island-Matemwe.d6278570.Attraction)
