Hauts-de-France, France

- Pets allowed
Three and a half hours drive from Utrecht but really in France, we rent this cottage with fully fenced garden of over 2,000 m2. At the edge of a small village where, completely French, sometimes a rooster crows or the dog barks but otherwise you only hear birds or village sounds. The terrace invites to long evenings with a bbq or fire and when it gets cooler, the wood stove inside (the basic heating is electric). The house is fully insulated and equipped with new electricity, plumbing and kitchen but where possible the original parts have been preserved. The chimney dates from 1788, the tiled floor (bring slippers!) and beams have been restored. There are six made beds but a crib or crib could be added. And there are plenty of towels and other textiles. What you don't usually think about beforehand: there are rarely, if ever, mosquitoes here....
Nature and surroundings
The cottage borders the French Ardennes. The area has something of the south of Limburg: gently rolling hills, wooded banks, lakes and streams, the forest is interspersed with herb-rich meadows with cows and sheep. Here you can enjoy hiking, biking or motorcycling (which can be covered). And yes, you really are in France: in the morning to the bakery for croissants and baguette, complaining about roosters or other village noises is 'city', it is more common to go out for lunch than out for dinner, no one speaks anything but French, in summer there are brocantes, jeux de boules (with wooden balls) and parties. And in winter it is quiet, sometimes foggy and muddy but inside the wood stove is burning.

A comfortable bed, a fully equipped kitchen with more than enough pots, pans, and dishes to cook your own cozy meal… everything you need to feel right at home.
Een goed bed, een volledig ingerichte keuken met meer dan voldoende potten, pannen en servies om zelf gezellig je potje te kunnen koken… alles is aanwezig om je meteen thuis te voelen.
The keywords “peace,” “space,” and “nature” perfectly capture what this nature house has to offer. The authenticity the house exudes, combined with all the comforts, is truly delightful.

And then there are the little extras that make it all perfect: upon arrival, homemade jam was waiting for us. Fresh eggs and delicious grapes and apples from the garden rounded out the experience.
A place where you naturally slow down, enjoy the silence, and find complete peace. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to escape the hustle and bustle and enjoy nature.De sleutelwoorden rust, ruimte en natuur vatten helemaal samen wat dit natuurhuisje te bieden heeft. De authenticiteit die het huisje uitstraalt, gecombineerd met alle comfort, is echt zalig.

En dan de kleine extraatjes die het helemaal afmaken: bij aankomst stond er zelfgemaakte confituur klaar. Verse eitjes en heerlijke druiven en appels uit de tuin maakten het plaatje compleet.
Een plek waar je vanzelf vertraagt, geniet van de stilte en helemaal tot rust komt. Een echte aanrader voor wie even wil ontsnappen aan de drukte en wil genieten van de natuur.This text is automatically translated. -
