Very comfortable accommodation in an evocative and important historic site.

Well, what not to like ? You have the location, the ability to enjoy the farm outside of visitors access. Lot of space, complete kitchen, great beds, atmosphere... Just wonderfull. On site staff service is limited but that goes with the territory.

The location is everything. There are restaurants near by, but we elected for self-catering, which gave us more freedom and time to investigate the locations associated with the Waterloo campaign.

Fabulous place to stay in the midst of a very historic site. Quiet once all the visitors are gone except for the occasional camper. Comfortable beds/mattresses Kitchen reasonably equipped with fabulous cookware. All very clean and tidy. Wonderful restaurant available walking distance away 10 minutes thru footpaths in fields. EV charging points also available in same town.

Staying at Hougoumont was a long held ambition four our group and it was not a disappointment. The accommodation was a perfect base for a full tour of the Waterloo battlefield. For us being able to stay in such a historic setting was an honour. I would highly recommend it.

Comfortable and peaceful apartment looking both into the courtyard and over the front of the farm, where much of the fighting occurred. Numerous books are provided to encourage a greater understanding of events. Freedom to roam the grounds, especially once the small museum had closed for the day, was most appreciated. Good views across the area and and an easy walk to the excellent main museum started to give an understanding of the geography of the battlefield. Easy drive to other museums.

Fabulous place to stay in Waterloo (near Brussels) with east access to the highway. The house is an updated (read completely modern) apartment on the original farm from the battle of Waterloo. A short walk to the Lion and museum, beautiful sunrises and sets over fields. The apartment was perfect for a family of 5! Thank you for a memorable stay! Great place to come home to and unwind after visiting the sights of Belgium.
