Holiday Home in Gros Fays with Garden
Description
This alluring holiday apartment on the first floor gets a beautiful view of the forest from the balcony where you can spend quality time sipping your morning beverage. Located in Gros-Fays this home is ideal for couple and has a bedroom which can accommodate 2 people.
Get detached from the toxic city life and spend your time in the laps of mother nature in the forest just 500 m away from the house. You can plan various detoxifying cycling and hiking trips in the forest. The house is just 4 km away from the town centre where you will find both a supermarket to get your daily supplies and restaurants to dine-in. Alle-sur-Semois, with its cosy cafes and of course the Semois, is at 4 km. Ideal for kayaking or playing along the water's edge. You can also enjoy nightlife 10 km away from here.
And when you arrive back at the apartment after a pleasant walk, the BBQ is ready in the garden and the wood-burning stove crackles nicely. You will find wood at the back of the garden. Relish the cold fresh breeze while preparing delicious grilled food on the barbecue. For the entertainment of kids, the house has a sandpit, table tennis table and other play equipment. For your convenience, the house has heating and parking facility. There is also an electric heater in each room. With the thermostat in each room, the temperature can be regulated. In the winter months, it is almost impossible to heat the apartment with these heating elements alone.
The nearest airport is the Brussels South Charleroi Airport 105 km away.
Note: You will find the house keys in the key safe hanging next to the door. You will find the code of the key safe on your stay ticket. Form the code and then push down the black lever on the left, and the key safe will open. There is an information folder in the apartment where you will find answers to the most common questions.
The cutlery drawer is at the top of the cupboard to the left of the cooker. You therefore need to open the cabinet first, then pull out the cutlery drawer. To open the oven, push the flap above the oven door down with you.
The easiest way to heat up the flat quickly is to light the wood stove. It is a simple system and the stove provides heat very quickly. Wood for the wood-burning stove is available free of charge in the woodshed at the back left of the garden.
Please be sure to turn off all heating elements before leaving the apartment, as they use a lot of electricity.
Before your departure, you should do the dishes, empty the dishwasher and put everything back where it was. Please empty and clean the dustbins and dispose of all rubbish in the dustbin in the car park. Finally, please clean the wood-burning stove before your departure. The wood basket should be filled for the next tenant.

The building looks somewhat outdated from the outside, but the apartment is modernly furnished and fully equipped. Friendly welcome by the concierge, she only speaks French but does her best to make you feel at home.
Superb apartment, everything you need for a nice holiday was there. Sufficient kitchen equipment. Good bed and a great balcony to sit outside. We found the only drawback was the water pressure in the shower and taps, which was very low.
The outside of the complex and the hall seem a bit dull, but we were surprised by the appearance of the apartment itself. Very light and neatly finished. Clean and very well equipped. Very spacious and a nice balcony. The spacious garden and the surrounding area invite for a walk. Highly recommended for those seeking tranquility. We were welcomed by a very friendly Mrs. Martin, because Mrs. only speaks French and we don't, it was difficult to communicate.
Good comfort, too bad no TV instructions in French 😩
Very nicely furnished apartment with every comfort, good value for money. Bedroom: good mattress, sufficient storage space in the wardrobe, a wake-up light, because of a small cove in the bedroom there was just enough space for a children's travel cot, ideal. Comfortable bathroom (the shower curtain sometimes fell down even though we hadn't touched it, maybe it's better to confirm). Well-equipped kitchen (tip: there was much more available than we thought, such as apple press, pizza oven, so maybe this can be mentioned on the website as an asset). Very cosy, beautiful living room, quick to get very warm by the fire (firelighters not present, the concierge said to buy them in the local shop). Based on the photos during the reservation, we thought that we would have a view of the garden, that was not the case, we overlooked the parking. The area is beautiful and very quiet. It is pleasant to stay in the very large garden.Fine that there are several hiking maps and hiking suggestions were present in the living room.We could also rent a high chair at a low price (€ 1 / day), very convenient. There are only a few cars / tractors per day. Only downside: the apartment was not thoroughly cleaned, on arrival we cleaned the surfaces of the kitchen, bathroom and living room with our own cleaning product because they were clearly not (properly) cleaned (herb remains and crumbs on the counter, greasy fingers and stains on the kitchen cabinets , urine residue on the toilet seat, toothpaste traces on the mirror, spaghetti residue on the wall behind the toilet, mold on the drain cap of the sink) and also vacuumed in the living room. There were no logs ready in the living room, so we had to look for them in the dark. The final cleaning was included in the price, but we were still asked to vacuum the apartment and to replenish the wood basket, a bit embarrassing question we think if the apartment is not clean.
Super apartment fully equipped and beautiful location near charming villages.
