300 year old farmhouse in Ardennes, Belgium

Two friends, we went to "get away", relax, refresh, renew, read, write, do artwork. The weather was beautiful, the table outside in the yard was comfortable to rest and work at, and had some pleasant areas to walk with beautiful views of the countryside. The kitchen was well appointed, the oven/stove wasn't super efficient, but worked well enough. The mattresses were thin, but the beds well-made and comfortable enough. Bring bed sheets for the European-sized beds (2 twin-sized per 3 bedrooms). Also save some cash to pay for utilities used during your stay.

Enjoyed our time at Chalet Remonval immensely and have plans to return soon. Peter and Heidi were wonderful, accommodating, and pleasant hosts. Enjoy your stay at Remonval.

The owners Peter and Heidi were lovely, welcoming us into their home. The property was very well furnished and we had everything we needed and more. There was a lot of useful tourist info in the house which helped us to plan our outings.

The local towns of Waimes and Malmedy are lovely and had all the shops, cafes and restaurants that we could need.

If you are looking for peace and quiet in beautiful countryside, this place is perfect. Not far from Germany/Luxembourg, slightly further to the Netherlands but still possible for a day out so you can visit several countries in one week. Although nearby village is small it has all the necessary specialist shops, butcher, baker (couldn't find the candlestick maker though :-) grocer etc. A bit like Britain used to be before Tesco took over! The nearby closed railway has been converted into a cycle track and whilst we didn't try it I expect the surrounding area would be good for cyclists.

One slight warning for British visitors, although pillows and duvets are supplied and you only need to bring your own covers, as is common in Europe two single duvets on a double bed, not a double duvet, so take the appropriate covers, the beds are twice the width of a single so you need a king size+ bottom sheet, a fitted double sheet won't even come close, and the pillows are square not oblong so they are too big for a standard pillowcase.

Just returned home after a great week in the Ardenne. Peter and Heidi are great hosts and the house is ideal for a family holiday. The area is great and easy to get into Germany and Netherlands. There don't appear to be many Brits about and yet it is only 3 hrs from Calais. Highly recommended.
