Nature house with large garden and view of the nature reserve located at Assels (Drongen) near the old Leie between Ghent and Sint-Martens-Latem.
Nature and surroundings
The nature reserve is an island between Drongen and Afsnee, accessible by only one access road. The Oude Leie meanders through the landscape and forms a natural boundary between the low-lying meadows and the higher-lying donk. The meersen landscape consists of species-rich grasslands, interlaced with ditches. What species are characteristic of the nature reserve? Black-tailed godwits and lapwings nest here every spring. In the short vegetation they accompany their downy chicks on their first search for food. Other breeding birds include shoveler, creak and tufted duck in the canals, wood warbler and reed bunting in the more rugged parts, reed warbler in the reed bed at the Butter Pit and kingfisher in the bank of the same Butter Pit. In winter, the area serves as a foraging area for snipe.

A quick note about the bathroom: a shower rod and a tray for toiletries would be handy, but other than that, the shower works just fine.
Een kleine opmerking over de badkamer : een douchestang en bakje voor wasgerief zouden handig zijn, maar verder werkt de douche prima.
A very cozy little cottage near the dike, where you can walk or bike to Drongen.
It has everything you need for a long weekend to feel at home and welcome.
The sleeping arrangements might be a bit on the small side for a family of four, but for two people like us, it’s more than big enough.Een heel fijn huisje vlakbij de dijk waar je kan wandelen en fietsen naar Drongen.
Alles is aanwezig wat je voor een lang weekend nodig hebt om je thuis en welkom te voelen.
Misschien is de slaapgelegenheid wat aan de kleine kant voor een gezin van 4 maar voor 2 personen zoals wij, is het meer dan groot genoeg.This text is automatically translated. -

Stairs up well to do, but good to take a look at, if you are a little less agile possibly more difficult.
Trap naar boven goed te doen, maar goed om even naar te kijken, als je iets minder goed ter been bent mogelijk lastiger.
Lovely place, nice atmosphere! Close to Ghent, and probably many beautiful things in the area, but that's not what we came for this time....
Heerlijk plekje, fijne sfeer! Vlak bij Gent, en vast veel moois in de omgeving, maar daar kwamen we deze keer niet voor..

The cottage is very cozy, the environment is green and yet close to town and the communication with the landlord was super.
Het huisje is heel knus, de omgeving is groen en toch dicht bij de stad en de communicatie met de verhuurder was super.
Nice cottage in quiet area
Leuk huisje in rustige omgeving
