The natural surroundings and the village were truly beautiful. Also, the warm welcome, kindness, and helpfulness of the lady at check-in. She spoke a bit of English, which made communication easier, and she helped us access a garage where we could park our bikes.

Lovely quiet hotel in a very cute, small village. Very peaceful surroundings. We were able to store our bikes in the garage. Breakfast was really good, and there were lovely beers in the fridge available to purchase. A peaceful night's sleep....

“A lovely location, and just a super place to stay.”
Julien could not have been more accommodating to our group of 6 cyclists. With the local restaurant closed on our day of arrival, he arranged a wonderful barbeque with lots of local craft beers and super food, and a good breakfast the following morning. We would definitely stay there again.

“Traditional, proper, rural Belgium at its best - a motorbike-friendly establishment”
A beautiful, traditional Hotel in an idyllic setting by a pretty stream. The host was brilliant and accommodated every request. There is a fantastic local, traditional restaurant just a 2 minute walk away. If you want to experience proper, rural Belgium at its best - this is the place. This is also a motorbike-friendly establishment, ideal for those touring - we kept our bikes in their locked garage, overnight, fully loaded with all our gear. Just perfect
