Nature house in Zandvoorde
West-Flanders, Belgium
- 8 persons
- 4 bedrooms
- WiFi
- Pets allowed
Near Ypres and Passchendaele lies the charming and rural village of Zandvoorde. Our building has served for years as a blacksmith's shop at the wheelwright's shop. Since the end of the 80's the forge fire is no longer burning.... Nevertheless, our property remains known to the local population as the 'old forge'...The forge was recently converted by us into the comfortable vacation home. The interior is a combination of old craftsmanship and nostalgia.
Nature and surroundings
The Zandvoorde forest is within walking distance and is part of the Gasthuisbossen. It was during the Middle Ages that various houses of worship in the region of Ypres received a lot of forest land as gifts. During World War I these were completely destroyed. Now they are owned by the OCMW. Every season creates a magical atmosphere in these woods. Zandvoorde walking loop (12 km)Start and parking: marktplaats, 8980 ZandvoordeThe 'Zandvoorde walking loop' follows the theme of '2014-2018 - 100 years of the Great War' and brings the story of Zandvoorde during the First World War. The village fulfilled an important strategic position due to its higher position on the Mid-West Flemish Hillside. The unique view of the surroundings combined with the German defense line, ensured that Zandvoorde could only be liberated during the Final Offensive in 1918.

Lieselotte December 19, 2025 General rating:Fine experience. Good and smooth contact with the owner.
Fijne ervaring. Goed en vlot contact met de eigenaar.
Nature, peace & environment: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.
Het was een heel aangenaam verblijf. Het huisje was in orde. Heel leuk en gezellig gedecoreerd. Wanneer er iets mis was, loste de eigenaar het meteen op. Gezellig gehucht, zeker in de kerstperiode.

Christophe August 3, 2025 General rating:Too few kitchen utensils and the oven was not cleaned. Contact with the landlady was only by email and only in Dutch or Flemish.
Zu wenig Küchenutensilien und der Backofen war nicht gereinigt. Kontakt zu Vermieterin, gab es nur per Mail und auch nur auf Niederländisch oder flämisch.
Nature, peace & environment:This is not really a cottage, but rather a terraced house in a small village, so not directly in the countryside as I had hoped. The cottage is not optimally equipped for a vacation week in the kitchen, as it is actually mainly a BnB. The garden and the apartment are large and there is no shortage of children's toys, but the expectation of Nature houses is not met. It is also inconvenient that both bathrooms can only be reached via the bedrooms. Nevertheless, we felt very comfortable in the house.
Es handelt sich hier nicht wirklich um ein Häuschen, sondern eher um ein Reihenhäusern in einem kleinen Dorf also nicht direkt in der Natur, wie ich erhofft hatte. Das Häuschen ist für eine Ferienwoche nicht optimal ausgestattet in der Küche, da es eigentlich hauptsächlich ein BnB ist. Der Garten und die Wohnung ist groß und auch an Kinderspielzeug mangelt es nicht dennoch wird die Erwartung an Naturhäuschen. Ungünstig ist auch, dass beide Bäder nur über die Schlafzimmer zu erreichen sind. Trotzdem haben wir uns in dem Haus sehr wohl gefühlt.
