Namur cottages

Our two families both loved our stay at this charming gite with bundles of character. Pierre and Martine are lovely, they are both very warm, welcoming and friendly. Pierre helped us sort out a puncture (bad luck on our part!) and Martine showed the children all the animals a short walk away from the gite. There are a few cows in the field adjoining the back garden of the gite which the children loved. The back garden is very large and the children made the most of it for playing games. The views from the garden and gite are beautiful too. We made use of the BBQ which was great and enjoyed eating outside as Mettet was benefiting from a heatwave across Europe. As a party of 9 (4 adults and 5 children) there was more than enough space for us in the gite. It sleeps 12 easily. For 14 people the sofa bed in the large hall area on the first floor would need to be used. The bedrooms are all a good size and tastefully decorated. Two rooms have their own sinks. The towels and bedding were all provided and of high quality. There are 4 toilets and 4 shower/bathrooms The gite is lovely and clean and very well equipped, with plenty of fridge space, a freezer, wine fridge, combined microwave/oven, another oven, a coffee machine and washing machine/tumbler. There is also a sauna though we didn't use it as the weather was hot enough! The billiard table was great fun for adults and children alike. There is lots to do in and around the area and lots of information about local attractions is provided in the gite. The local bakery is a 10 minute walk or a few minutes cycle ride away and the nearest supermarkets are a short car journey away. Highly recommend trying the produce from the local Abbey - Maredsous - the cheese and beer are both lovely! We loved our holiday in the gite and would highly recommend it. Thank you to Pierre and Martine for making us so very welcome.

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.
