Résidence Joséphine

My room was cozy and comfortable, which made my stay enjoyable. I appreciated the convenient amenities available to enhance my trip.

The barbecue area was fantastic and perfect for outdoor gatherings.

Pros: plenty of space, the swimming pool, the spacious garden with sunny and shaded areas, the professional kitchen, and the surroundings. Cons: absolutely not suitable for less mobile people, not even for small children, due to the unevenness of the floor (had quite a few tripping incidents that resulted in a necessary hospital visit for one person). It would be good to include that in the house description.

Had a lovely stay, partly thanks to the beautiful weather. The kitchen is well-equipped and large, with three stoves, three dishwashers, and three refrigerators: very convenient. The house is an old barn with a low ceiling. We were therefore happy with the nice weather: with 13 children, it would have been quite a challenge in terms of noise if we had to stay inside all the time. There are two seating areas, each for a maximum of about 15 people. The floor is very uneven with many steps up and down: quite a challenge for the 88-year-old grandmother who came along. Pool: great. Garden: super, very large. The upper floor has wooden floors that creak (but none of us were woken up by it). Quiet area, with a small supermarket and bakery three minutes' drive to the left, another bakery and greengrocer three minutes' drive to the right.

Everything is present and works. Spacious kitchen, living area, ... Living is quite dark but fortunately we could be outside.

The host was very friendly. The house was large enough for the number of people. We were with 22 people, so there was plenty of space. You can retreat if necessary. There are many steps, which is a bit inconvenient with small children. A downside was that the floor upstairs creaked and that the Wi-Fi didn't connect well in some places upstairs. But you can also contact the host about this (which we unfortunately did not do). The pool felt to us like it had too much chlorine, but if you open the door and the windows, that takes some of it away. Overall, definitely a recommendation.

Worn, dated, loose wires, not durable, draughty doors, unpainted doors, not recommended.

Beautiful house with all the comfort you need for a nice walking weekend. Swimming pool pleasantly warm.

Residence Josephine was a successful accommodation for our family weekend with 28 members. Due to the cold weather, we made extensive use of the indoor swimming pool and sauna. It was also nice that our dog was allowed to come along, and on the old stable floor you don't have to worry about dirty feet or paws. The reception and closing by Serge was very adequate and friendly. In the extensive kitchen we were able to cook with many people, although it takes a while for a large pan of water to boil on the old-fashioned electric hobs. Fortunately, the kettles provided a solution. I dare not say whether it would have been as pleasant if the weather had been nice. Then we would probably have felt a bit restricted, because at every door, every window and in every room there is a notice that it is forbidden to open the door, make noise outside or play music. Apparently there are problems with the neighbours and you can tell by everything. A ball in the garden is also forbidden. When you confirm your reservation, you will receive a warning from the police as an attachment. Fortunately, a lot of things are possible and allowed, which is why we had a wonderful family weekend!

Location & size of the property was very good. Sufficient rooms and bathrooms, enough space for the children to play. Kitchen well equipped, Nice garden & the swimming pool is a great added value. However, the communication with the landlord was not good. On the form we received were two telephone numbers. One of these numbers turned out to belong to someone else, the other number did not work properly. In the building itself there were other numbers written down on forms. It was very unclear how we could get someone on the line in case of emergency. On Saturday night at 23:20 the fire alarm went off (without cause, we did not detect anything anywhere). Despite several attempts, we could not reach the landlord. The forms that were hung up regarding the fire alarm system were incorrect (it said that we had to reset the system with a key, we did not have a key & this was also incorrect, we needed a code). In the end we called the technical support services of the fire alarm system ourselves (at high telephone costs!). They did pick up, but by the time the technician arrived, we had tried a few codes ourselves (one of which turned out to be correct) & the alarm stopped. The landlord did come by the next morning, he explained that he had problems with his number (2 SIM cards) & that was why we sometimes had difficulty reaching him. Friendly in itself, but anything but correct when renting out a property.

The photos of the cottage on the website are misleading because the whole is quite dark and you can't see the many steps on the ground floor that can be a risk of falling. The equipment in the bedrooms does not ensure optimal and equal comfort for all tenants, especially at night when going to the toilet at the risk of waking up your neighbors, since the floor is creaky and therefore very noisy!. The water troughs and gutters are useless and pose a danger to the mobility of tenants. A fly trap would be necessary in the living room and kitchen, as well as mouse traps. The collection of household waste is contrary to the regulations of the Walloon Region. The terrace and the pétanque ground are not maintained, we deplored two falls given the slippery ground. A pool cover would be necessary to avoid loss of degrees. Finally, the positive points are the swimming pool, the kitchen equipment, the indoor games. This is not a cottage for people with reduced mobility, but difficult for the elderly. I am disputing the price of the fuel oil because it was announced at €1.30, we are being billed €1.10 while the price on the day of 6/9/24 is €0.854, so I am waiting for a correction of the invoice.

-very spacious holiday home, somewhat outdated, but well maintained, everything worked except for a few shower knobs -kitchen stove needs to be renewed (still on electricity) -well cleaned! -friendly and helpful "manager" -too bad there is no recycling

You don't have to expect luxury. be careful not to trip because of the uneven floor and communication is difficult

The house is an old converted cowshed. Very authentic. Living area with a beautiful fantastic table. and 2 salons where you can relax. Kitchen is spacious but appliances are outdated and in urgent need of updating. The stove is still electric. Patience is then a beautiful virtue. With the ovens you can no longer read which program it is on and there is no hot air option. Rooms are spacious and neat. Showers and toilets also need replacing. We were 21 guests and had plenty of space, but 10 extra people would have been too many. Swimming pool was spacious enough and neat. Fitness didn't mean much. Infusion sauna was very spacious and was also very hot. There was also an infrared. This one was smaller. For the rest it was neat. Nevertheless, a nice base for visits to nature parks or breweries and for those who want something more sporty, you can go rail biking or electric scooters or even mountain biking. For us it was certainly a success, but for that price we expected a little more comfort.

Très belle maison, super piscine. Evenings are a sublime weekend with no small children and small children. Great!

Nice spacious house with character

Nice big house with reasonable facilities

Very good in front of the big family we had a really nice time was great 👍

Nice house with good facilities. The pool is nice and there is a nice garden. The kitchen is very spacious and equipped with sufficient equipment. The living space is cozy but has many steps and low ceilings. Especially the door to the kitchen is not very convenient for tall people. Bedrooms and bathrooms are fine. Communication about arrival was a bit stiff, but the deposit was quickly refunded. We had a great stay with 30 people.

It is a very nice house with many facilities. The children enjoyed the pool, the adults the wellness. Also many and beautiful bedrooms and plenty of space for everyone. The long dining table made eating together very cozy

The house was in a neat and clean condition upon arrival. Swimming pool, jacuzzi and sauna were fine! The beds and bedrooms were also fine! The kitchen is ideal for a large group, just a pity that it is completely closed off from the rest. Just before arrival they ask if you want to order kegs of lager, we had done this, the beer was delicious and cold! We had a great time in the house, the youngest was 1.5 years old and the oldest about 65 years. There are indeed the necessary steps and steps, we have no hindrance there encountered. The check-in and check-out went fine.

Beautiful rustic house with many facilities.

I just spoke to the customer who has been in the home and they were very pleased. Was a beautiful house, pool was heated, everything functioned properly. It could have been a little cleaner. the only caveat is that the house has many height differences, stairs etc. It might be advisable to mention this in the description of the house that it can be difficult for people with reduced mobility. But they themselves thoroughly enjoyed this family weekend.

Very nice house with lots of space and a special ambience. We'd love to come back.

We have been to the town of Sourbrodt with our group of friends, including the children. We spent a midweek in Josephine's house and it was great. Good and nice reception by the owner and the house is large. There is enough space for everyone to do their own thing, but you can also sit alone at the long table with them. The kids loved the pool and we really enjoyed the sauna and hot tub. It is clean and tidy, of course it is not all new, but that is not necessary for me. We enjoyed and immediately booked again for the autumn holiday with the family. We are already looking forward to it again.

Very nice and cozy house to stay with a group. The children had a great time in the pool!

With our family of 25 people, including babies, toddlers, teenagers and adults, we had a great time in this house with swimming pool (30 degrees), saunas, jacuzzi, pool billiards and football game. Plenty of room, lots of bathrooms and everything very clean. Practical, large kitchen where our "cooks" could work well. Friendly welcome by the landlord. Beautiful area with many cycling and walking opportunities nearby. Unfortunately, due to the season, little use was made of terraces and garden.

it is a very large, beautiful and rustic country house with pool and jacuzzi, a beautiful garden with a view of a horse pasture and play equipment. Unfortunately it is a bit noisy in the morning from the street.

Great house for a large group! We enjoyed the pool, jacuzzi and sauna is really great !!!Friendly manager, beautiful location

Beautiful farm, old stable in original form, is the part of the residence. Spacious kitchen with all facilities. Nice pool and a nice jacuzzi. Lots of space around the house. At maximum occupancy it is tight. Too bad there is no roof.

We were received very unfriendly by the owner. The photos on the site do not correspond to reality at all. House is very dangerous for getting off and unevenness. The owner / manager apparently lives near the complex and suddenly stood up the sidewalk due to being noisy in the middle of the day at 11am we were in euphoria during our activities and admonished us not to make a noise or else he would call the police and also threatened us not to get our deposit back because we had moved a bank.This man was not at all helpful or co-thinking.Which is also a pity that there is no starter package in the house is.Ik will never recommend this house to anyone.

very large, spacious and cozy residence with very reasonable and friendly managers. although not everything was perfect, the shortcomings hardly detracted from the fun we had in this accommodation.

Very spacious house with comfortable rooms and a large, sunny garden with a view of a horse meadow. The living room and kitchen are a bit darker / cooler than the rest of the house, but the saunas and beautiful swimming pool make up for that!

We were welcomed the person who greeted us are very nice the accommodation is just beautiful and very very large the only negative point is that as in the room the floor is made of wood so a lot of squeaking a can unpleasant when someone gets up in the night to go to the bathroom 😢 but apart from the stay was just wonderful to do again

Simple clear way of booking, What could be better

It is an old house and it takes some getting used to the design of the living room and the kitchen. But the presence of the swimming pool, saunas and jacuzzi ensured that the children had a great time. Everyone, the children and the grandchildren were unanimously enthusiastic about our stay in the Joséphine residence. The location in the middle of the High Fens is You can immediately take beautiful walks as soon as you leave the house.

it was all perfectly fine !!!

arrival found well

Arrival fine. Accommodation nice. Apart from the number of mice and creaking floors. Beds fine. Shower a bit creaky. Environment also beautiful

We were well received, the house was large - a former barn / farm which gave atmosphere (but also many steps / stairs etc). In the area there is much to do hiking, mountain biking, cycling, boating, etc.

We were really super friendly and quickly received. Got a full explanation from Anne and her husband, who gave the tour with great passion and enthusiasm.

Nice house many bedrooms or a simple kitchen that should be an industrial kitchen for the number of people

The welcome was very pleasant. The owners were on the spot when I called them and everything was well explained. We thought the house was great. It is an old stable and therefore somewhat dark, but on the contrary attractive and nicely furnished. Similarly the bedrooms. We had a lot of fun with the pool table, the swimming pool and the jacuzzi. The 2 saunas are also a plus. The kitchen is well equipped and spacious enough to work together on the meal. Highly recommended for large groups who want plenty of entertainment in and around the house (because the surroundings are beautiful too!) to have.

Very nice place for a large party.

The manager was very friendly, explains everything well in German or French. The accommodation is reasonable. Living room is former cowshed where little daylight enters. The bedrooms and beds are reasonable. The showers are good. Plus points are the swimming pool, the sauna, whirlpool and billiard table. The kitchen is good with sufficient equipment. The whole looks somewhat dated. The garden has a large lawn. The house is on a corner on a main road opposite a church. No view of the surroundings from the house. The area is beautiful with plenty of walking opportunities.

Super friendly reception. Detailed explanation of everything.The house is equipped with every comfort. An original dining place. Very well equipped kitchen with all necessities. Many bedrooms with creaky floors where no one has problems. The kids have used a lot of the jacuzzi despite the rain. Just walking along the street, you are quickly in the woods.

cozy, cozy house with many facilities and nice wellness / pool. large garden and terrace. beautiful surroundings, easily accessible. helpful manager. recommended for holidays with friends!

Very good stay in this cottage very well equipped but with some aging equipment. Very nice area for the ride (and snow in winters). Excellent value. Very nice arrival / departure contact.

Well received. Spacious rooms, sufficiently insulated against noise. Plenty of comfort (pool table, kicker, swimming pool, saunas, jacuzzi, ...) Industrial kitchen with sufficient dishwashers A real lost house Living (former cowshed) too dark (but we had beautiful weather and sufficient space on sun terraces, not to mention furniture recently.

Superb environment and super driven with the motorbikes The converted farmhouse was unique and did all the expectations

It was the second time we rented this nice big house for a family weekend. Friendly and clear reception by the gerants. Pleasant environment. We were 26 people, the youngest 1 year and the oldest 82 years. Given the varied pool table, play equipment, swimming pool and jacuzzi, there was something for everyone. Moreover, the house and the garden are big enough to give everyone enough space. Highly recommended.

The location is lovely but the ground floor of the villa is very bad, there are lots of flies and mice, and the lounge furniture is very old. , The bedrooms are good clean and well furnished, the smell of chlorine is very strong in the pool

A week family vacation with 3 generations, including grandfathers and grandmothers, children and grandchildren. It was an unforgettable holiday where the house, the swimming pool, the jacuzzi and the garden played an important role. The area is very suitable for hiking, cycling and mountain-biking. During evening walks we spot deer, foxes and even a badger was observed. The house is not suitable for rollators or wheelchairs and the smallest people have stumbled. But the size of the house, the great kitchen, and the garden with attributes were great.

This place is really beautiful everyone loved Only flat extra fees that we think should be included in the already well-priced rental (405 € more including cleaning 200 € and consumption and taxes) It is a shame to have to pay because of no respectful person! Apart from that everything was impeccable -)
