Charming Holiday Cottage in Brabant
Holiday Home Description
INTRODUCTION TO THE COTTAGE
Les Cinq Saules is a beautiful, stylishly furnished cottage dating back to the early 20th century. It is nestled in a magnificent, fully fenced 3000 m2 garden, featuring a natural pond surrounded by ancient willows, which give the cottage its name. Renovated to high standards in 2007, the cottage sleeps six (+ one baby cot). Free internet. Many of the country's major tourist sites are within easy reach from the cottage. Cosmopolitan Brussels, the historic flemish cities of Antwerp, Ghent, Leuven, Bruges, Ypres and Mechelen, or the abbeys, chateaus and unspoilt nature of Wallonia can all be enjoyed while returning home comfortably to the cottage on the same day. In addition, the cottage is ideally located for an 'active' holiday, including trekking, cycling, golfing, and horseriding.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION - OUTDOORS
Les Cinq Saules is nestled in a magnificent, fully fenced 3000 m2 garden, featuring a natural pond surrounded by ancient willows, which give the cottage its name. Sitting on the large terrace, you can enjoy the privacy and tranquillity of the cottage, while our younger guests can play in the sand box or on the swing and wooden tower with slide. Garden chairs, umbrella and BBQ are provided. Covered, on-site parking is available.
Les Cinq Saules was built on the site of the spring of the Ermitage, a small stream winding its way through the hills of the 'Roman Païs' to join the Hain, one of the region's larger rivers. The valley of the Ermitage was classified as a "site of great biological interest" by the regional authorities. The cottage is surrounded by woods and farmland, and has direct access to a number of foot and bike trails.
Dogs are welcome, provided their owners respect a few basic rules. Our garden is fully fenced.
