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. If we are around, we are more than happy to show you around and inform you about the ins and outs of our cottage. If this would not be possible, we will make sure that exerting is cleared out and keys are available in a lock box. We made a leaflet explaining the things you need to know about the house and also giving some tips and tricks regarding thing to do where the eat and drink and what to see in the neighbourhood. If we are not around and the leaflet doesn't answer your question we are more than happy to help you out over (text, call, video). Contact information will be provided after booking. Neighbourhood | Our house is surrounded by meadows packed by horses and cattle, woods and an endless amount of narrow but muddy pathways. Don’t forget your rubber boots for the numerous strolls along these trails or bring your 4x4 (winch fitted like our good old Jeep a.k.a. Willy) or Motorbike to hit one of the many country roads while visiting one of the many castles or cities (Brussels, Ghent, Mechelen, Leuven, etc.) in this neighbourhood (Pajottenland and Brabantse Kouter). Shopping | Albeit the countryside location, all the necessary shops are very close by (shopping centre on less than 1 km offering a supermarket, restaurant, pharmacy, etc.). You can find restaurants and pubs within walking distance, but a vast choice of international food can be found in Brussels which is only 14 km away. Access | Our cottage is yours during your stay and you can freely use the bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen, garden, dining room, living room, patio. Since we sometimes go back to relax, you might find some personal stuff in a wardrobe or the fridge. 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. Bear in mind that 90% of the charged rent covers the holiday home whereas 10% covers the hire of movables. No additional services are provided. Public transport | Due to the location, public transport is not around the corner. However, the nearest bus stall is only 1 km away and the train station of Ternat is 2.7 km away. There is a direct transit between Ternat and Brussels North (9 min.), Brussels Central Station (15 min.) and Brussels South (30 min.) in which you can take the Eurostar to London (01:10h), the Thalys to Paris (01:20h) and theThalys to Amsterdam (01:50h). Car | We have plenty of space to put your car on the driveway or under the carport. Dogs are allowed on a case by case basis (reach out to us, please). Because of potential allergy issue with the next guests we charge a 50 euro flat fee. Bear in mind that 90% of the charged rent covers the holiday home whereas 10% covers the hire of movables. No additional services are provided like daily cleaning or breakfast. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Kitchen island - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Soap - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Games ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Office ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,615 square feet ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114810000/114808600/114808554/8d1a21e2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 4-bedroom house in wonderful Denderleeuw with AC, WiFi Denderleeuw - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 5 reviews CA $325 CA $399 total includes taxes & fees Nov 12 - Nov 13 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-12&endDate=2025-11-13&selected=114808554&PinnedHotelID=114808554&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33650000/33649500/33649415/f6af5413.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Character apartment in the European district European Quarter - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.6 Exceptional 248 reviews CA $146 CA $185 total includes taxes & fees Nov 4 - Nov 5 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-04&endDate=2025-11-05&selected=33649415&PinnedHotelID=33649415&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/65000000/64630000/64622000/64621931/60b2e9a9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### New: Beautiful studio center of Brussels with large terrace overlooking the city Schaerbeek - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.4 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-28&endDate=2025-10-29&selected=64621931&PinnedHotelID=64621931&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/108000000/107460000/107456800/107456781/6835a0f3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Pañ boetiek BnB in Zele.
