Little gem

The house has all the amenities and comfort you need, the large garden offers privacy and the tiny village of Furnaux is so quiet with almost no passing traffic. The location next to a former railway walking path brings you one way in Mettet with all the groceries shops you need or to the peaceful Abbey of Maredsous where beer tasting is waiting for you.

Lovely base for exploring

The gite is a basic but comfortable base to look round the local area and a good price. You definitely need a car in this rural area. There are no shops/eateries in walking distance. Caroline welcomed us and showed us around the gite and gardens. She speaks good English. Upstairs the bedrooms are spacious and the beds comfortable. There is some storage for clothes etc. Downstairs there is an open space split into a small kitchen area, dining area and lounge area with 3 seater sofa, footstool and chair. There is a bathroom at the rear with toilet, sink and shower. Some parts of the gite are modern and some rustic. The stairs are open, wooden and fairly steep. Dogs are not allowed upstairs - not that our dog could get up them anyway. Outside the gardens are split into separate areas. Dining area is outside the side of the gite surrounded by lavender bushes. The play and pool areas are to the other side of the owners home so not visible from the gite which was fine for our teenagers but be aware with younger children. The pool is not heated so can be a little chilly. Towels are provided - one hand towel and one bath towel per person. The kitchen is pretty well equipped with crockery, cutlery and cooking equipment. I cleared a cupboard out to store food. You have a fridge with ice box, oven, hob and dishwasher. You may want to take: Dishwasher tablets Dog bowls Loo roll Pool towels ( you can use the house ones but you’d have really wet towels) Bin liners Wasp repellent - many more in Belgium than England and they really liked me! Fly repellent Nearby places we recommend: The old railway path that runs past the gite Dinant town and citadel Dinant Grottes Marveilleuse Rail bikes of Molignee ( not too taxing - opt for the 14 km route) Parc de Furfooz Welcome Wok in Beauraing We’ll definitely return to Belgium to explore further.

Charmante Ferienwohnung in guter Lage

Wir haben ganz kurzfristig gebucht und die Vermieter haben es uns ganz einfach gemacht! Die Wohnung war genau wie beschrieben. Die Lage ist zentral, um die schöne Gegend mit Dörfern, Schlössern und Gärten zu erkunden.

Fijn verblijf

Prima vakantiehuis, zeer compleet ingericht, goed bed, fijne douche. Zeker meer waard dan de vraagprijs. Vriendelijk gastheer en -gastvrouw. Prachtige omgeving . Puntje van aandacht misschien het voor ons iets te warme dekbed voor de zomer. Zeker aan te bevelen
