4.3/5

Near Ypres and Passchendaele lies the charming, rural village of Zandvoorde. Our property served for many years as a blacksmith’s shop attached to a wagon-making workshop. The blacksmith’s forge has been extinguished since the late 1980s... Nevertheless, our property remains known to the locals as the “old blacksmith’s shop”… We recently renovated the blacksmith’s shop into a comfortable vacation home. The interior is a blend of traditional craftsmanship and nostalgia.

Nature and surroundings

The Zandvoorde Forest is within walking distance and is part of the Gasthuisbossen. During the Middle Ages, various religious institutions in the Ypres region received large tracts of forest land as donations. During World War I, these forests were completely destroyed. Today, they are owned by the OCMW. Every season brings a magical atmosphere to these woods. Zandvoorde Walking Loop (12 km) Start and parking: market square, 8980 Zandvoorde The “Zandvoorde Walking Route” follows the theme of “2014–2018 – 100 Years of the Great War” and tells the story of Zandvoorde during World War I. The village held an important strategic position due to its elevated location on the Central-West Flemish Ridge. The unique view of the surrounding area, combined with the German defensive line, meant that Zandvoorde could not be liberated until the Final Offensive in 1918.

    Spacious, beautifully decorated, lots of toys, books, and games, spacious bedrooms, a house full of character, a lovely private garden with extra space in the back.

    Nature, peace & environment: 2 /5

    It's in a village on a busy road, but the garden is quiet. There isn't much nature right nearby—mostly meadows—and the nearest (small) forest is a 5-minute drive away. It's not really a nature house.

    Fine experience. Good and smooth contact with the owner.

    Nature, peace & environment: 4 /5

    It was a very pleasant stay. The cottage was fine. Very nice and nicely decorated. When something was wrong, the owner fixed it immediately. Cozy hamlet, especially during the Christmas period.
