We were a long weekend at this gite, our dog my partner and me. There is enough to do in this region and the location on the bikepath/ former railway was really great. The house itself is sufficiënt for two, and the decoration, especially upstairs, is lovely. our general evaluation is that the gite is sufficient, but we found it not as perfect as described in previous reviews. Moreover, there are a few maintenance parts that need direct attention. First and foremost, the place did not smell well. There was a strong odour of moist in the whole house, but mostly in the bathroom. At night, the bathroom sometimes had a sewage smell. Ventilation helped, but the heating was fairly minimal already. The pellet stove, that could have given extra warmth we did not use because of smoke entering the house. The refrigerator door did not close well, so that our food got wet because of the moist. Finally, as mentioned before, the mattress is old and has holes in it. We believe that some maintenance could bring the gite back to standards.

The house has all the amenities and comfort you need, the large garden offers privacy and the tiny village of Furnaux is so quiet with almost no passing traffic. The location next to a former railway walking path brings you one way in Mettet with all the groceries shops you need or to the peaceful Abbey of Maredsous where beer tasting is waiting for you.

The gite is a basic but comfortable base to look round the local area and a good price. You definitely need a car in this rural area. There are no shops/eateries in walking distance. Caroline welcomed us and showed us around the gite and gardens. She speaks good English. Upstairs the bedrooms are spacious and the beds comfortable. There is some storage for clothes etc. Downstairs there is an open space split into a small kitchen area, dining area and lounge area with 3 seater sofa, footstool and chair. There is a bathroom at the rear with toilet, sink and shower. Some parts of the gite are modern and some rustic. The stairs are open, wooden and fairly steep. Dogs are not allowed upstairs - not that our dog could get up them anyway. Outside the gardens are split into separate areas. Dining area is outside the side of the gite surrounded by lavender bushes. The play and pool areas are to the other side of the owners home so not visible from the gite which was fine for our teenagers but be aware with younger children. The pool is not heated so can be a little chilly. Towels are provided - one hand towel and one bath towel per person. The kitchen is pretty well equipped with crockery, cutlery and cooking equipment. I cleared a cupboard out to store food. You have a fridge with ice box, oven, hob and dishwasher. You may want to take: Dishwasher tablets Dog bowls Loo roll Pool towels ( you can use the house ones but you’d have really wet towels) Bin liners Wasp repellent - many more in Belgium than England and they really liked me! Fly repellent Nearby places we recommend: The old railway path that runs past the gite Dinant town and citadel Dinant Grottes Marveilleuse Rail bikes of Molignee ( not too taxing - opt for the 14 km route) Parc de Furfooz Welcome Wok in Beauraing We’ll definitely return to Belgium to explore further.

Arriving at the house is convenient, there is parking, good and immediate communication with the owners of the house, we received a detailed explanation of the house and its contents, the courtyard with all its components. The house consists of two floors, on the ground floor there is a living room, a dining area, a kitchen fully equipped with electrical appliances, and a toilet and shower. On the second floor are the bedrooms (2). The yard is very rich and large. There are football gates, a trampoline, a wooden house with swings, 2 crates with many games for children, a private garden with a dining table and chairs, and 2 sun loungers. And of course the pool, the crowning glory for children. There is a large supermarket, a fast food restaurant, about 5 minutes away. In the immediate surroundings of the house there are hiking trails in nature and cycling. Jean-Charles Martin & Caroline and kids are very Nice and welcoming. We enjoyed ourselves very much, warmly recommend and will probably return.

Absolutely perfect place to stay to tour the country of Belgium. The owners live on-site and are warm and hospitable. They rented to us at a moment's notice and were accommodating in every possible way. They made great restaurant recommendations to us and had lots of incredibly helpful tourist brochures to help us decide how to plan our time. It was also very affordable! There were four of us: me, my husband, and a two kids, ages 9 and 13. We definitely hope to come back sometime soon! Thank you so much!

La Parenthese is a lovely 2 bedroom gite attached to the owners' home. We went in October when it was chilly at night so we thoroughly enjoyed the woodburning stove with plentiful wood supply. During the day it was warm so we opened the double glazed windows right open and felt like we were cooking al fresco! The children enjoyed all the games in the garden - especially the giant blackboard where they could draw and write messages. The property is alongside a disused railway track so we had lovely walks and the children could safely ride their bikes. The house itself is stunning - very tastefully decorated. Ideal for us (2 adults and 2 children) with master bedroom with a delightful double bed and the other bedroom with 2 full size single beds. The kitchen was well equipped with dishwasher and coffee machine. A very handy location for doing the touristy things - Dinant and Namur but we actually enjoyed pottering around the house the most. An hour and a half away is Spa - where we went to the famous Thermes de Spa - absolute luxury and the children enjoyed it too. We had a fabulous time and would highly recommend it.

This is a spacious, well-equipped gite, with friendly hosts. It was faultlessly clean on our arrival, and the gardens were tended on a daily basis. Here we were woken by birdsong in the morning, and felt immersed in nature. This is an excellent area for sightseeing. The caves at Han are spectacular, while the smaller "Grottes de Neptune" have a not-to-be-missed underground boat ride. The gardens at Lac de Bambois are wonderful, and the escargotiere at Warnant was fascinating. We (including out cat) particularly enjoyed late evening strolls along the abandoned railway line beside the property. We would heartily recommend this property and its hosts, and are already thinking of a return visit.

We had a great time at the 'cottage' in Furnaux. The house was beautiful,the area was fantastic. There are no stores in the town of Furnaux, but they are nearby (7 minutes drive). There's lots to see & do in the area and the owners are realy friendly en helpfull. You have to have a car to get to all the activities, but they're all within about half an hour drive. It was great that our dogs could come with us to a house of this kalliber. The area was great for walking. It was great to have the peace an calm of the town of Furaux in combination with all the possible activities so nearby.

Le gîte était parfait pour notre séjour – très confortable pour 3 ou 4 personnes avec tous les ameublements nécessaires. Le cadre du gîte est tranquille et bien pour visiter toutes les attractions touristiques de la région. Les propriétaires étaient très accueillants et ils fournissaient tous les informations de la région nécessaires. Nous recommanderions ce gîte pour un séjour tranquille, confortable et bon marché !

Nous avons vraiment passé un très agréable moment de 5 jours dans ce gîte. Nous y étions très bien reçus et il ne manquait de rien. Tout le confort était là y inclus des jeux pour enfants, le trampoline, toboggan et à ne pas oublier la piscine. Même des magazines et différents DVD's. C'est avec beaucoup de goût et de soin que ce gîte a été aménagé, notamment la douche à multiples jets. Un endroit calme et à la fois beaucoup de choses à visiter non loin. Le Ravel (piste cyclable) passe juste à côté du gîte. Bref, l'endroit idéal pour se ressourcer.

Très joli gîte, confortable et original. Un atout, l'accès aux jeux dans le jardin de la maison, génial avec les enfants. A conseiller.

2 senioren en 1 volwassen. 1 week. We hebben een zeer comfortabel en aangename vakantie gehad. Het huis is zeer mooi gedecoreerd, alles in aanwezig zowel in de keuken als in de badkamer en in de kamers (de bedden waren gemaakt, zelfs handdoeken en keukenhanddoeken lagen klaar). Het huis is ontzettend comfortabel (verwarming, afwasmachine, douche) en de eigenaars zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam. We beschikten over een eigen terras, compleet met barbecue en (lig)stoelen. Alles was meer dan in orde. Enige min puntje was een iets te piepend dubbel bed, maar aangezien dat we maar met 3 waren, hebben we dit zeer goed kunnen oplossen. De locatie is zeer rustig maar toch praktisch voor wie met de auto is. Mettet is maar een paar km rijden en daar is alles te vinden. In onze bezoek route en alles op een zeer redelijk afstand: Maredsous, Celles, Rochefort, Ciney (Ravel), Namen, Dinant en Boulloin. Een echt aanrader en een van de beste vakantiehuizen dat ik ooit heb gehuurd.

Dans cette location, les lits sont faits et des serviettes de bain sont mises à votre disposition, c'est rare et c'est vraiment un plus. La cuisine est très bien équipée: on ne manque de rien. Les propriétaires ont décoré avec soin. C'est vraiment une location soignée.
