La Madeleine

We had an amazing time at this villa! The indoor swimming pool was a hit with the kids, and the adults loved the sauna, The living room was cozy for movie nights with the DVD player, Highly recommend for families!

This villa is well-located, with easy access to local attractions, We visited the Château de Lavaux-Sainte-Anne and had a great time exploring the area, The playroom was also a great bonus for the kids,

The villa offered everything we needed for a relaxing break, The garden furniture was perfect for lounging outside, and we took advantage of the BBQ facilities, A good spot for a peaceful getaway,

What a lovely retreat! The garden was a perfect spot for our morning coffee, and we enjoyed barbecuing in the evenings, The boules court added a fun touch to our stay,

Just returned from a fantastic weekend! The terrace was perfect for relaxing, and we loved playing darts in the recreation room, The washing machine was handy for our longer stay,

A delightful experience overall, The children loved the playroom with its various games, and we appreciated the ample parking space, The villa's layout is practical for larger groups,

Beautiful house in a beautiful location. We think it's fantastic!

Great stay. You can't get a taxi or Uber at all. We wanted to go to a place 6/7 km away, and we had to pay 300 euros for one taxi ride. In short, plan on using your own transportation!

The stay was fine, although we were less pleased with the damage claim regarding items we did not recognize.

Dear, We had a nice holiday there. Beautiful location, beautiful enclosed garden, jacuzzi and swimming pool. Some comments: the dishwasher works well, but the cutlery holder is defective. The coffee machine is not of sufficient quality for large groups. The worst was the severe disruption from 9:15 AM (according to the contract we had to be outside by 10:00 AM, which we complied with) because the concierge chased us outside inhumanely. This was a big damper on our beautiful holiday weekend. Regards, Family De Cnuydt

Our stay from December 6-8, 2024 in this house was a big disappointment. The house looked old and authentic in the photos, but in reality the house and the furniture were extremely fragile, extremely old and very poorly maintained. It is clear that the house is in urgent need of renovation. Many of the furniture were worn and unstable, and the stairs and the puddle of water at the pool were very dangerous - one of the children even slipped and fell! In addition, the landlord, despite what was stated in the advertisement, did not speak English or Dutch, only French. She guided us unfriendly and only on the ground floor of the house. And now it gets even crazier: three weeks after our departure and after the deposit had been fully refunded, we received an absurd damage claim of € 815! This claim concerned an old, rotten chair of which only a leg joint had come loose, and a small puddle of water on the way to the pool that could easily have been cleaned with a mop. Those 3 liters of water? No idea where it came from - probably from the defects of the house itself. This was not a vacation, but a stressful experience, even after! I absolutely do not recommend this house!

A house where there is plenty to do, the kitchen is also well equipped, you will even find a hand blender and so many more things that you can use well and do not take with you. A fantastic large garden. Wonderful for children and dog, an adventurous dog can go over the wall at the front! That is a point of attention, otherwise great!

When you want to take a shower you see water dripping from the ceiling in the living room, and it"s not my fault. The house was very old and other than that the electricity was cut off for 20 minutes I don"t know why and when you want to take a shower you see the living room where water is falling from the ceiling and the owner says it"s my fault how is it my fault if your house is old and you have to do some repairs

The house was gorgeous, old and characteristic. Great location for all the sightseeing. The pool was bigger than expected and the beautiful garden too. Everything breathes nostalgia. We had a good contact with the owner and the neighbor. Unfortunately we had too leave two days early due to personal matters. Rochefort is less than a 10 minute drive. A beautiful place. Would stay here again.

A beautiful house from the year 1740 located on the main road from Tellin to Nassogne but without any inconvenience from traffic. The rooms are very large and authentic with large oak beams and plastered walls with old oak floorboards. Well-functioning heating and showers. There is also a large garden at the house that can be used freely for football, volleyball, badminton, climbing tower, swings, BBQ, etc. In addition, there is a well-heated swimming pool with disco lights in the basement. An extensive kitchen with a well-functioning stove and oven. We spent a very nice long weekend with the whole family with children and grandchildren. You can make nice day trips to the Euro Space Center, Bastogne, Dinant and the caves and the wildlife park in Han. For cyclists (cyclists) and hikers, it is an ideal starting point for beautiful trips through the Ardennes. The whole family enjoyed it and was able to do their thing. The weather has also been favorable to us, but the swimming pool and play facilities provide sufficient alternative for bad weather. There is no longer a bakery or supermarket in Forrières and there is only one café. For (extensive) shopping, a car journey of approximately 6 km is required. Hygiene was in good order throughout the house: the kitchen, swimming pool, rooms and sanitary facilities were very well cleaned, our compliments. Definitely recommended, partly because of the large living space you have here for a large group.

We were here last weekend. We have a family weekend once a year and this house seemed perfect for this. Upon entering we stepped into a kind of experience. Back in time, but with a modern touch. Old paintings that made your imagination run wild. Everything was clean, but outdated. Outside there is a lovely large garden, where the children could play freely. The swimming pool, how AMAZING! the children, but also the adults, really enjoyed it here. The sauna, great. Our meals in the kitchen, what a great place. Everything was sufficiently available. Highly recommended for people who want something different! Negative: Floor down to the pool. I have had a good fall twice myself. The floor is slippery when it is a little wet. I would lay a rough tile there, just like at the pool itself, to prevent someone from slipping.

Together with our kids and grandkids we had a very pleasant stay in villa La Madeleine. An attractive house with a beautiful garden, nice BBQ, wonderful sauna and relaxing swimming pool! We all enjoyed it. Recommended !

Nice house to stay with a group of 14 people, nice beds, nice kitchen with good facilities. Too bad the dartboard was broken. We had a fantastic weekend. With warm regards 👍👍👍

the house was very tidy, nothing to complain about, the person responsible for the house was very friendly. there were some negatives 1. that when entering the house it smelled strongly of the sewer (or the sewer sign as we say), after thorough ventilation it was better, but yes, around this time of year you cannot open the windows all day long. The cleaning lady did say that the owner was going to come and look at the cause during the next week, so that is positive 2. In the kitchen, the frying pans and some (Tefal) cooking pots definitely need to be replaced. Furthermore, it was a cozy house, immaculate, well maintained, beautiful garden where at the front above the wall a piece of fence is missing to allow a dog to roam freely. Definitely recommended if the above is resolved. Of course, the pans also depend on how the tenants deal with the conveniences. The heating is also fine. Billiards is a big plus. All in all, a top location and a top house, especially considering its age. The furnishings also match the house. All together very positive.

Although the house is attractive and authentic, we do not entirely share the rave reviews above. On the positive side, the house is large and has enough bedrooms. It has a lot of atmosphere and exudes cosiness. But also: the house is quite tired and dingy and deserves a thorough renovation very quickly. The kitchen is minimally equipped, many essential items that you would expect in a house in this rental class are missing. The sink is a kind of trough, picturesque but very inconvenient when you use the kitchen intensively with a group of 10 people. Coffee maker, dishwasher, cutlery, plates, cups, it is all measured and not really suitable for a large group. The welcome and (especially) the departure were unfriendly and measured. We left the entire house tidy, but the lady in question only had eyes for the billiard balls that were not in the middle of the billiard table; we were called back like little children - we were already in the car ready to leave - to place the balls correctly. All this, together with the far too high price we paid (many things that are presented as included on the site are still charged) makes it a somewhat disappointing experience. Very sorry.

Unfortunately, this house was not what we expected! Positives: + big house +Large garden with seating, grill, badminton net, swing, slide +Billiard table, darts +modern kitchen +Washing machine +Parking space in front of the door +Clean Negatives: -very old house, squeaks everywhere, we had a baby with us and it was difficult to find a quiet room in it. -Entrance doors and some windows, very old, simply glazed, thin and partly broken glass -Many doors have defective door handles and locks -Heating in October didn't turn on or couldn't be turned up and the owner (who lives next door) didn't do anything -It was very cold in the evening and at night -Owner ONLY speaks French, not a word of English or similar. -Kitchen utensils are sometimes not complete, broken or not clean - Stair security for children tends to be a wobbly, dangerous piece of wood -Sauna heater too weak -Swimming pool smelled of mold and had really disgusting seating, the water wasn't clean and probably no chlorine was used -The alarm went off in the middle of the night because it was stormy -Bathtub and shower need to be replaced We cannot recommend the house because it does not have a good price/performance ratio and is in need of renovation

Nice house, only the swimming pool not clean

Zeer fijn verblijf gehad in Forrières. Gigantisch huis waar je eerst even in verloren loopt met een prachtige tuin. Voldoende comfortabele zetels en bedden. Extra pluspunten waren voor ons het zwembad, biljarttafel en de ruimte van de woning. Minpunten vonden we de thermostaat die geblokkeerd stond op 20 graden. Dit was best fris voor zo’n groot huis en met kleine kindjes. Badkamers en wc’s kunnen hier en daar wel wat opfrissing gebruiken. Opgemaakte bedden en handdoeken hadden een leuke meerwaarde kunnen zijn en geen overbodige luxe gezien de huurprijs die gevraagd wordt.

Typical Ardennes house, neat and lots of space, very suitable for a group with children. Beautiful garden with toys, badminton net, swimming pool is a real asset. Well equipped kitchen, everything available. Location ideal for a visit to the Grottes de Han.

We have a great time in this large holiday home. The doors jam and the floors creak, but that only enhances the atmosphere. All equipment is fine, the garden is beautiful, and we sleep super. Enough to do in the area

Very nice holiday home with many old elements. With a modern touch such as washing machine and dishwasher, neat sanitary facilities. Beautiful outdoor area with a super barbecue. We had a wonderful time.

beautiful garden - lots of space and beautiful surroundings but the kitchen is below average - extra facilities in the bathroom - hooks / place to put some conveniences are missing. I have questions about the fire safety of the 2nd floor - also unsafe stairs

We had a very nice weekend in this house. There is a lot of space in and around the house. The large garden was very nice for the small children and the dog. On arrival the whole house was neat and tidy. The pool is also a plus. We swam every day with the kids.

Spacious and super cozy! The backyard is dope for chilling, and the BBQ setup is just what you need for summer nights, Plus, Netflix and Disney+? Yes, please!

Very nice relaxing holiday

Very attractive and nice house. Facilities are top notch! Swimming pool and sauna wonderful.

First of all, I am very impressed with the cleanliness of the house. Kudos to the cleaning team! In addition, a very nice authentic house, it feels like being in an old movie set. We took advantage of the swimming pool with sauna and spent hours playing billiards, a real bonus. And before that I forget, thank you for the welcome gift! Much appreciated. The welcome was also warm, welcoming and very helpful.

Nice big house, but outdated. Very large beautiful garden. Swimming pool and sauna are fine, swimming pool could be a bit warmer. We are used to more luxurious / newer houses for that price. For such an old house, the price can be lowered a bit.

What a nice house !! Together with children, partners, grandchildren and their friends we had very pleasant days. The pool was a success, both with the little ones and with the adults. The pool room was also a must. We can certainly recommend this house. Belvilla has lived up to expectations.

We have had a nice family weekend! (12 adults, 5 children, 1 dog) Everything was there, plenty of space, beautiful large garden! Swimming pool, sauna were an added value (especially for the children)! A bigger TV+digital TV would be an improvement!

With 6 adults and 6 kids weekend stayed. Lovely beds and lots of space in the house, and fully equipped as described in ad! Definitely worth repeating!

Beautiful old and authentic house. We were 10 and there was plenty of space. Crockery, glasses etc also generously present. Large garden with BBQ and toys was also nice. Pool in the basement was cramped but a big party for the kids. Nice bakery in the village. Recommended!

Beautiful well maintained house. The large garden with sofa and various toys are an added value, especially with young children. The decor is basic, rustic, Ardennes style. The pool in the basement provided a lot of water fun. Nice base for walks. A very friendly and helpful concierge who lives next door.

the house was exactly as announced in the description. tastefully decorated and with plenty of kitchen utensils, plates, glasses, etc. everything was clean and the guidance was top. grandparents, parents and grandchildren had a great week

Am petrecut a super weekend, casa curat, super swimming pool, bucatarie mare si utilata cu de toate...doar Super

A house that has everything for a pleasant stay. Smooth and fast handover of the key. Pleasant rooms and practical furnishings. Certainly spacious enough for 14 people. Everything is there what you need. Also a handy living room to sit with many people. Downsides are the poor finish and the aging of eg bathroom, etc. The pool is also not 100% ideal. This is located in the basement of the house, so there is no daylight. The floor and edge of the pool are in urgent need of renewal as well as the walls etc. were no longer neat. Very nice that the water was nice and warm so we certainly had a good time.

Great stay, in general everything went well !! Thank you

Charming house with all amenities. We enjoyed very much vN sauna and swimming pool

A fantastic house! Good reception and key handover with extensive tour. The cottage was great! Swimming pool was fine, sauna too. The rooms were clean, and all kitchen equipment is provided. We will definitely be back, highly recommended!!

It was a nice holiday home with good facilities and we enjoyed it. And a lovely hostess. I only have the following comments: 1. The dryer advertised is not a machine but a clothes rack.2. The mattresses sag too far causing some people to suffer from their backs.3. The chlorine was too strong in the pool, so we had trouble with our eyes and had to cough. The solution is to keep the door open, but I don't think that's the intention.4. The bathroom leaks water down to the living room. I reported this to the hostess, at her request we did not use the bath. I can certainly recommend the holiday home, especially for playing hide-and-seek in the evening with a large group. :-)

A beautiful house, good reception and a nice neighborhood

heating pool did not work and sauna was also defective, so both were unusable during our entire stay. Everything else was fine.

Very beautiful setting, well equipped. The only downside, the bedding is not excellent

We were well received, also according to the corona rules

The booking went very smoothly, The option to take an option is great, You have the time to discuss in group before you make a final booking, The payment also went very well and you are clearly informed about everything, We look looking forward to our weekend!

Fine! Nice house, pleasant reception.

Good. Cozy with the stove

Good reception, friendly owner, smooth communication

Very friendly reception

Fantastic house, a bit different than in the pictures (that seems to be the other part of the house), but certainly not less beautiful. A beautiful old, large house with excellent facilities and a lovely large garden. The only thing we missed a shelter to be able to sit outside when it rains, and the pool feels a bit claustrophobic because it is in the cellar behind the wine supply.Friendly and accurate welcome and goodbye, and in between a visit to maintain the pool The restaurant at 300 meters is also excellent, Forrieres is a charming little village, but with Marché and Rochefort close to more than enough facilities, the caves of Han are nearby, and a game park, and Bouillon is also beautiful.

Great, were well received and shown around

Super nice environment. Cottage was perfect for what we were looking for. The indoor pool is perfect for when you are not sure about the weather. Sauna is a nice extra

I share the experience of other guests for me. It is a bit of improvisation in the kitchen ... Knives not sharp, cheap service, many cups damaged, dust hangs in large strings of the extractor hood ... Apparently we had arrived for the spring cleaning ... Coffee maker did it only once and had to cool down for an hour ... invest a few Euros and it is all easier ... Swimming pool is not for claustrophobic guests and people who do not want to walk past 500 old and dusty empty champagne and wine bottles on the way to the pool ... who are there to catch dust in the wine cellar ... Many sockets hang half out of the wall, some do not, sometimes pieces of wallpaper torn. The house has charm and many beautiful authentic details, but you could enjoy it more if the above-mentioned contemporary details were correct and it was all a little more cared-for ... Fortunately, we had excellent weather and enjoyed the large garden.

House full of character. Everything needed was present. Again the first day was wonderful, enjoyed the garden. The second day the weather was bad, enjoyed the pool.

With four families a super stay! Gourmet outside in November! Beautiful old house with lots of space, great fridge and freezer. Nice pool, kids enjoyed. Great beds and attractive rooms. Thank you Christelle! Good reception and excellent contact.

Contact with owner was good. Accommodation is old and needs a refurbishment

The reception was good and clear explanations were provided. This house is completely outdated. And that applies not only to the infrastructure but also to the accessorium (crockery, chairs, seats, ...). It has a certain charm, but it is in urgent need of renovation. The kitchen is a barrack and absolutely not nice to work in.

Kindly received house is not too clean and sanitary is below par. Environment is beautiful

Key delivery and pick up by a very friendly and available person. Very spacious house for 15 people (large tables - ideal lounge for 15 people - spacious rooms - bathroom and toilet in sufficient size). Very nice garden. Bakery, butcher shop and small market next door. Living rooms conform to the description. Small flats house a little dusty and dishes, dishes (especially for aperitifs) and glasses available a little fair and summary for 15 people. Also lacks draperies in one of the rooms. Child bed rattling.

Very friendly reception and sufficient explanation. Contact person was available throughout the week (for example, for problems with electricity) .Charmant and spacious house with beautiful, large garden. Spacious large rooms.But lacks atmosphere and comfort. A total update could make the house much cozier, more modern and more pleasant. A lack of basic necessities. A pair of comfortable loungers would immediately give a finer feeling. Also swing and barbecue are in need of replacement.Large, clean and pleasant pool but repairs to tiles, cover, door toilet, are necessary. No steps in and out of the swimming pool for older people is not easy. Much noise from the installation. Toilet and shower in this room are outdated

Friendly welcome with explanation about the equipment. Large spacious house with plenty of seating and good to keep warm. Beautiful relaxing sloping environment. The house is on the main road but with the windows closed this does not cause a nuisance. Large garden and it is nice that 2 dogs were allowed to come. Very nice that all trash could be left behind. There is an improvement point WiFi only works well in the kitchen but not in the living room. A WiFi repeater would be very welcome.

Beautiful house, old and above all, the kitchen is on renewal, for the rest a charming house with a lot of space

Cozy, spacious house. Big garden. Well maintained.

The house itself is charming and witnessed by historical patriotism. It is a general refreshment of positive experiences. Many places and spacious rooms kitchen infra-appliances. Certainly cozy authentic interiors. Garden close to shops and restaurants in walking distance negative experiences. Little kitchenware (not a corkscrew !!) bathroom no tablet and hoods, hair dryer etc .... slpks no storage cabinet furniture to replace! No parasol etc ..... some chairs are cracked! Pool spacious but no emergency exit! If something happens on the ground floor you are caught! Is it legal? There was a little more modern comfort.

Terrible. The heat was already on, all the rooms were toasty. The house was large, comfortable and cozy. The wooden floors give the house extra cachet. Beautiful and large garden, shame the weather was so bad. The fireplace made for extra cosiness. Much opportunity to be together in the living room around the fireplace or in the dining room.

Here and there, the property could use a little freshening up. Specifically, the kitchen accommodation is in relation to the space for cooking and kitchenware provided somewhat limited for a group of fourteen people millions. Reception and stand-bye questions during the stay was perfect. Surroundings offers many possibilities. Pool and sauna functioned fine.

Reception was held by the caretaker, very friendly and helpful. The accommodation is spacious and cozy. It is an old listed building, so the amenities are certainly adequate, but breathe it the past. Only downside we found the location of the front directly on a main road, so the front bedroom was a bit restless. It is not clear from the photo 's and description. They were indoor pool and sauna for our party a great success! In the immediate vicinity is wonderful hiking, biking etc. Shops they present in the immediate vicinity, that is also useful .

Upon arrival it was a question of finding the right contact tel given leave "concierge" but once the new contact number, everything was resolved quickly and there was a very pleasant and professional lady handing us the key. The house was nice, tidy, ... plenty of space for eating, relaxing, sleeping

Very good and friendly reception with clear tour

beautiful scenery, charming

We have here ENJOYED kleinkinderen.We with children and were married 40 years and have nthe celebrated here. There really was something for everyone tastes.The pool and sauna were a BIG success. And everyone there was in the area something to do. Whether cycling or was visiting a town or the caves. Really recommended !!!!

Spacious house and the kids were happy with the pool. Very friendly welcome!

Beautiful spacious house pool was crazy quite comfortable with excellent beds. Shame there is no linen is included in the price, is a very lugging.

Beautiful setting, very nice house with sauna and pool. Really had fun with friends.

And that certainly came through the beautiful garden, the location of the house and sauna. We are very pleased with this house but also have one concern the wet areas are not all good

A beautiful character house with 5 bedrooms. Original features, but do not expect tight finish house. It is over 300 years old. Swimming pool in the basement is great, but what a noise makes the pump. Why is that do not work away / geïsoleerd.In this price range would be for hiring bedding really an addition. Warm and friendly reception.

We had hired to be near our child actors who played Mary Tudor in Marloie. Children and grandchildren had a ball with the pool and the beautiful garden allowed us to gather family, friends and the band of comedians for a giant barbecue on Sunday midi.Très good accueil.Un great memory and a great address. Thank you

A special house of about 250 years old. It is adapted to the requirements of a good vacation home. The pool was fine, beds good and a large garden safe for small children.

Rain, and more rain. Happy "underground" pool and much ruimte.Grote tables were eating a feast.

What a fantastic place for a family getaway! The location is peaceful, and the outdoor space is perfect for children to play, We appreciated the fully equipped kitchen, which made cooking easy, The nearby restaurants had delicious options too, A lovely spot for a retreat!
