La Petite Foret | Cottage in Brussels Countryside

Immerse yourself in history at our beautifully restored 150-year-old cottage, where timeless charm blends seamlessly with modern comforts. Thoughtfully renovated with reclaimed materials, the home retains its authentic character while providing all the amenities of contemporary living. Tucked away in the heart of the woods, it offers a serene retreat that feels far removed from the hustle and bustle, yet Brussels’ lively city life is just a short drive away. An ideal getaway. The space Holiday House | We recently renovated our ancient cottage so it regained its splendour of yesteryear. We try to restore it by only using antique and/or old (re-used or up-cycled) building materials without compromising on today’s comfort. Master Bedroom | Do you like your bedroom to be spacious but charming? This bedroom overlooks the garden and neighbouring forest and offers a queen-sized bed (160cm) made of ancient reclaimed boat wood. Twin Bedroom | You like your bedroom cosier and you love cuddling? This bedroom offers 2 small double beds (120 cm) and comes with a stunning view on the next-door meadow and our donkey-neighbours Cois and Bowie. It is up to you if you want to snuffle up with two in one twin bed. Living Room | Sleeping in front of the fire. Not the most comfortable but very cozy and romantic night you can spend in an 18th century day bed in the drawing room in front of the fireplace. This space is separated from the living room by a medium-high wall. Let us know up front if you need duvets and bed linen. Greenhouse | Magic happens when you sleep under the stars in our greenhouse... In the middle of the forest, behind our tomato plants, basil and salad is a cosy double bed where you can snuggle close to each other and allow your dreams to take you for a trip to the stars. When it gets colder, there is a pellet burner to keep it toasty. The greenhouse comes at an additional charge of € 50 per night. Let us know during your booking if you want to add this. Kitchen | Foodies united! The kitchen is fully equipped and fitted with a French range cooker (Lacanche) offering 4 hobs, a coup-de-feu simmer plate and three ovens. Japanese Damascus steel kitchen knives, dish washer, stand mixer. BigGreenEgg | Fire up the Barbecue Outside you find our big green egg barbecue which allows you to make delicious smokey ribs, but also pizzas are delicious! Bathroom | Soap bubbles galore! Are you more into taking a relaxed bath or a quick shower? There is no need to be decisive! Relax, turn-down the lights and submerge (even with two) in our Victorian style bath tub (Albion Bath Co.) Quick morning showers can be enjoyed together as well, in the big walk-in shower. Pay attention to the different water tap knobs with you morning sleepyhead! Garden | Weeds are flowers too, once you get to know them! Find your inner peace in the garden by reading a book in the tree swing chair, having an apéro on the patio or cooking some slow cooked succulent meat on the BigGreenEgg barbecue.
