Grande Ourse

Très beau chalet, spacieux et confortable. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour! Petit souci d'odeur (égoûts) dans la salle de bain, qui a été relayée au propriétaire. Parfait pour un groupe de 12 personnes.

After reading the reviews, we thought we would be staying in a somewhat old and musty house. But nothing could be further from the truth! A lovely wooden, spacious cabin close to a nice village and Durbuy. Our children had a great time in and around the house and the play equipment. The house is detached and offers a lot of privacy. The kitchen is large, modern, and fully equipped. Additionally, there was enough space for our large group of 12 people at the big tables and benches. The only small downside was the toilets (they don't flush very well) and because the house is made of wood, it is a bit noisy. But otherwise, it is really a super nice house to stay in with a large group, highly recommended!

The house itself was great, more than enough space for a group of 12 people. The park where the house was located was nice, quiet, and the surroundings were beautiful. Good beds, nothing wrong with that. However, there are quite a few points of concern that we categorize under deferred maintenance or that need immediate attention, which we will list below; *When booking the holiday home, a playset including a swing and slide was visible in the photo for the children. This is NOT present. *There is a worn-out goal in the garden with a net full of holes (useless) and a climbing tower that stands loose on the lawn. Totally irresponsible and for safety reasons, we immediately laid it flat on the lawn (three children aged 3 to 9 would have used this with all the associated risks). *All locks and fittings need to be checked and repaired; doors do not close, the front door can only be locked with a key and swings open otherwise. Door handles are loose and can be pulled out of the fittings. *The Senseo machine is new but missing a part. *The oven door in the kitchen does not close, making the oven usable only if we put something against the door to keep it closed; otherwise, it shuts off and does not heat up. *The fireplace is practically unusable due to damage from improper use (doors do not close and heat plates have sagged). *If curtain rails are installed, then hang curtains on them (several are missing). Also, in the bedroom, there is a half curtain for the window. The brackets for the roller blinds are there, but there is no roller blind. *The panels on the outside need to be closed to create a dark bedroom, but these cannot be closed either. Yes, with a lot of pushing from the outside and someone on the inside to hook it.

Beautiful and spacious holiday home. Plenty of room for our group (7 adults and 5 small children). Sufficient materials available (kitchen utensils, dishes...). Nice garden. A few minor issues that were less than ideal, but that wouldn't stop us from going back (low water pressure, dirty outdoor table, oven that doesn't close properly).

Nice holiday accommodation for a group of about 10 people. Quiet area, house fully equipped and spacious enough. Reasonable things to do in the area if you are willing to make some kilometers A few small notes: - Bathrooms / toilets smell quite a bit and the bathrooms in particular are somewhat unsafe due to the lack of anti-slip mats. - Pick up keys and bed linen about 16 km away and we found it a bit inconvenient to hand in.

Quiet, spacious, and surrounded by greenery, The chalet was perfect for our group getaway, We particularly enjoyed the table football in the living room during rainy days, A wonderful escape from city life!

If the reservation was problematic in terms of payment (several unsuccessful attempts), on the other hand the accommodation and its situation are very very good, We had a very pleasant stay, We thank you, Happy Holidays Alain

Ideal location for a peaceful retreat, Access to nearby swimming pools and supermarkets made our stay convenient and enjoyable

Unfortunately, I look back with a bad feeling afterwards. Let me start with the positive. It is a nice spacious house with good beds, a spacious kitchen where everything works, spacious showers and the jacuzzi was clean and was on arrival (on request). The location is beautiful, the house is detached, however, there are possible neighbors that can be present in the same weekend and they are a few meters away. The reason that I still with a feeling left behind by the final bill. It is important to know that as a group of 12 people we have been renting 25 year old houses (usually in the Ardennes) and have never had the experience below: we are just a few friends with few requirements.When we have booked the house we were aware of the (high) final cleaning of 175, - so I'm not going to complain about that, but what is a problem is that in Belgium all the dirt has to be separated, -no problem- but there was only 1 duo bin present for 12 people, no box for glass, paper, plastic, etc. We received 1 bag at the reception (15km away!) to collect all juices, tin and plastic, which of course never lasts for 12 people for a long weekend , eventually you have to bring this bag 15km back to the reception, this was difficult cumbersome and dirty, because the cars were full of people and bagage.Verder are our costs of € 30, - charged to the dishwasher. clear, yes you read that well. We had to leave the house at 10.00 and a washing program lasts 3 hours, so you have to turn the dishwasher on 2x 10.00 when you're 12 people breakfast! There is also € 20, - calculated to clean the Senseo, oven and refrigerator. The funny thing is that the Senseo is not used by us, the fridge and the oven cleaner is left behind by us, than we found him on arrival. In short, it is a mystery where you have to pay € 175, -. It is also important to know that Belvilla has tried to negotiate with the relocation

Very nice stay. Nice walks in buurt.Jammer that there are many extra costs, since you already pay so much for the cleaning (eg € 10 when not emptying the dishwasher, do not empty fire ...) Big beds, very comfortable. Specify dimensions for bedding.Jacuzzi is a nice extra, but water smelled a bit.

1) The veranda rack on the first floor was loose We had 5 children with us, as reported. Dangerous .2) The bidet in the bathroom on the ground floor was loose, even this was perilous 3) The house was filthy, very large dust clouds in all rooms - spiders everywhere - the bathroom tiles and shower cabin under the mold .3 of our people have asthma resulting in itchy eyes - stuffy nose - stuffy etc 4) The jacuzzi was not clean 3 of the children were under the rash on arms - belly and legs. Also there were no control strips so we could not control the water .We could use the jacuzzi for only 1 day5) The table football game was broken - the dart board were no arrows. All this was already known at the reception, appeared on departure. 6) In the freezer in the kitchen were still leftovers from the previous tenant like ice cream etc.As you can understand all the accommodations we had chosen from the house were not or almost not usable. In addition, there were life-threatening situations in the house which greatly affected our weekend d has a negative way. Also we have to pay another 175 euros for a cleaning. We ourselves came in a house that was certainly not clean, far from it.

Very nice and spacious chalet, equipped with all comfort and plenty of conveniences in a very quiet area.

The accomodation was wonderfully large. It is in a beautiful setting. Unfortunately not too clean.

The house looks beautiful and is fully equipped. Unfortunately, the house is in an environment where many retirees spend their free time. After 2200 nobody can sit outside and during the day almost no noise can be heard outside. Having a jacuzzi and table tennis table makes it very difficult. People in the area are complaining very quickly. This is truly a holiday home for a group of elderly people.

Have a great holiday in a very beautiful chalet with all the comforts. Good service both via mail and on-site.
