“Key had to be picked up between 4 and 5 pm at the reception of Ardennes-online 12 km away, where an extremely friendly gentleman explained the rather strict waste separation rules. And, as it turned out later, this friendly gentleman was the only good thing about this cottage. When we arrived at the cottage we were greeted by the stench of a half-full waste bin in the full sun in the garden, where the maggots were already crawling out. The garden itself was still equipped with old toys from the dog and children of previous tenants. The cottage itself smelled rather musty, which in itself is not entirely strange for an old, converted farm. Only the moldy smell with a hint of urine was something we could do without. The maggots that had now turned into flies apparently had no problem with this and followed us inside en masse. A quick inspection was enough to determine that the 80 euro cleaning fee only meant a sweep through the house, given the dried yoghurt stains on the table, and again toys and other waste left behind under the cupboards. The bedding smelled of mould and sweat, and 1 of the pillows in the children's room had taken on the colour of the urine smell in the kitchen, apart from the fact that we still found plaster residue between the mattress and duvet in the children's room. Given that it was now after 5 pm and we had been told that the emergency number for after-hours was really only for emergencies, we decided to report this the next morning. The shower was indeed a bit on the small side, but we knew that from previous reviews. What we were not aware of was that the overflowing shower water leaked directly into the living room via the mouldy linoleum in the shower. Cleaning the dishes was not included in the cleaning costs, but was apparently not checked either, as everything we took out of the cupboard had to be washed again, as it looked like it had only been rinsed and put in the cupboard like that.”

“We enjoyed our stay in le simplement. It was clean and complete with equipment except from toilet paper. The garden was great for the dogs to play, we enjoyed the surroundings.”

“It was clean and pleasant accommodation with all that you need, just really hot at night in the beds, maybe they still had winter sheets on the beds. Just a little bit more privacy when in the garden would have been nice. The owners felt the need to check on us out of their window to see the the barbecue was in the right position or whatever; otherwise a pleasant stay but I prefer to hire a separate chalet for extra privacy”

“Small but neat house, all necessities available. Friendly and helpful owners. Beautiful enclosed garden for the dogs and beautiful walking region with many signposted walks, you can simply leave from the holiday home.”

“The apartment was clean and everything you needed was there. But a big negative for us was that you only had a toilet upstairs and for someone with difficulty walking (like myself at the moment) had just had surgery, this is missing from the description of the accommodation. Being there with dogs is not recommended because it is close to the road!”

“Very nice people and a very nice welcome. The house is perfect as we want it. Everything is there (more than in many other holiday homes). It's nice that dogs are also allowed on holiday and can/are allowed to walk around in the garden. Via Komoot there are many walks in addition to the traditional ones. Enjoyed a very nice midweek.”

“Very nice people, nice welcome. The accommodation was also fine. The only disadvantage for us was that the dog was not allowed to stay home alone and that we always had to let you know when we were leaving and for how long.”

“Het was een heel compleet huisje, met een grote afgesloten tuin, wat heel fijn was met de hond. Prachtige omgeving om te wandelen. Enige nadeel: het ligt direct aan een 70 km weg, geeft wel wat lawaai, ook s nachts”

“We enjoyed a very cozy house and a big private garden! Floors were a bit cold, so consider bringing a set of slippers or warm socks. But overall, great experience! Thanks!”

“The location is not favorable, it is right on a 70 km road! There is only a toilet upstairs. Not very suitable for older people !!Kitchen is not practical .”

“Very friendly owners, very clean, in short, everything is there for a good holiday with dog. For us already the third time here and next year on our agenda.”

“The cottage was immaculately in order and Marie and Didier were available at all times if we had questions and came up with suggestions for business visits. They are a super friendly couple, they live in the house next door. There is a beautiful enclosed garden with some shade (fortunately ... because it was super hot when we were there). We made very nice walks in the woods with our dog, on about 10 km from the house. There is a nice brasserie in Vielsalm (at 6 km) and a super tasty Italian in Gouvy, Pizzeria Restaurant Basilico. We went to pick up 2 pizzas in the latter and went back the next day to eat Osso Bucco there. Highly recommended! And there are 2 bakeries in Vielsalm where we went to get a fresh French Baguette every morning. It was a nice stay!”

“Beautiful, clean house with a nice garden. Very friendly and helpful hostess and host.”

“Had a very nice stay, everything was there for us and the dog. Only the weather could have been better.”

“Last week I stayed in this house. Super friendly landlords Didier and Marie who told me a lot about the region and in particular which hiking trips could be undertaken. The house was clean and fully equipped. The house is located along a main road, but you will not be bothered by that. It is a good base for long walks in the woods. In short, this house is highly recommended”

“Nice house, beautiful large garden. Everything you need is there. Beautiful nature reserve for walking, but shops and restaurants are also nearby. Owners are great treasures who are always there for you. Recommended!”

“we had a good stay for three”

“We had a very good stay in the Ardennes”

“Super friendly welcome from the ownersEven everything provided for the dogVery clean stay with beautiful garden completely finished for the dog”

“Had a nice holiday well received from the owners who helped where they could provide the house with everything For repetition”

“Ideal base for beautiful walks in nature. Friendly welcome and clean accommodation.”
