Cottage 1815: Waterloo Battlefields

Gite with particular style (the tower is dreaming children and some large) very comfortable with living room (sofa bed 2 pers), semi equipped kitchen (percolator, fridge with freezer, microwave oven / grill, 4 vitro plates), large table, two bedrooms upstairs (one dedicated to two adults bed 160x200 and a second for young with two beds: 80x200 and 90x200), bathroom (rain shower, toilet and infrared sauna, sink, hair dryer), garage for bike. Wireless. Parking 3 cars.
The accommodation is newly furnished, we wanted to make it very cozy. When our visitors enter, we are usually entitled to a "Wow" that rewards us for our efforts.
The rental is minimum 2 nights.
Note that the sheets and towels are not provided by us, on request this service is possible for a fee (info on request), pillows and duvets are provided in the rental. A cot is possible on request for a supplement of 10 €.
The accommodation is provided with a small garden area with a large table-bench and some garden chairs and parasol stored in the garage (+ ironing board).
We also draw the attention of our travelers to the fact that the cottage is geared towards families and real tourists. We are not looking for visitors who book to party and drink excessively. Drug use is prohibited. This is unfortunately the result of negative but rare experiences.
Access is complete to the dwelling.
The garage is only partially available (up to 2-3 bikes max).
The driveway serves as parking, you can leave up to 4 cars during your stay.

Lovely house

Thank you for our stay. We had a lovely stay. House was clean and well equipped and the hosts friendly. Close to the battlefield and we enjoyed the museum and long walks in the evening to soak in the history of this beautiful place. Close to Brussels and we enjoyed trips into Brussels to visit museums and to celebrate Belgiums National day!

Great accommodation and location

We stayed two nights at this lovely location and recommend it to all. The hosts were very helpful with all our questions. The location, next to the Waterloo battlefield, was ideal for our group of history enthusiasts. We will definitely be back.

Wonderful Stay- We Can't Wait to Stay Here Again!

Our trip to Belgium was made complete by the wonderful hospitality we received during our stay at the cottage. We felt completely at home right from the beginning when the owners met us at the door to show us around. The location is fantastic and made it easy to get to numerous locations in Belgium. We cannot imagine staying anywhere else the next time we return! We will remember this trip fondly.

Lovely, well equipped property

The house is well equipped with everything needed for a stay; including a fully stocked kitchen for all your cooking needs, a toaster, 2 types of coffee makers and a kettle. The sauna was a very nice find in the bathroom and the owners gardens and pond were lovely. If the Waterloo battlefield museum is on your agenda the property is walking distance to the site.

Splendid stay at Braine-l’ Alleud!!

We had a super amazing stay in this cottage which is set in quaint surroundings, and yet is at easy reach to popular places/sites. We used it as our base to do day visits to Brussels, Hallerbos and Leuven. Fabienne and Rudy were such lovely hosts, they live in their house in the same property, they spent time talking to us giving us very useful tips for our sightseeing, and generally filling us in on the history/geography of Belgium, which was very nice of them, they are genuinely caring/welcoming/friendly people which made our stay very homely and we felt much welcomed (even had a welcome note on the board). The cottage had a spacious living, kitchen and bathroom areas, the sauna being the highlight of the bathroom. We enjoyed the music facility in the living area, something we have never seen in our previous holidays. The bar and the attached sitting area was a big bonus, again something we have never come across before. Very nice views of the surrounding area from the upstairs balcony (this is the interesting bit of the castle looking part). The heating worked wonderfully well and very easy to operate, same goes for the hob. The hosts had left a lot of leaflets to find out about sightseeing and also had a very comprehensive book with information about the house (including its history), where things are kept, local eatouts, local sightseeing etc. which was very useful. All in all, we enjoyed our stay so much and will return anytime we can :-) Loved the welcome cookies!!

Très bel endroit, mais quelques défauts

L'endroit est superbe et a été rénové avec soin, c'est chaleureux et confortable. Malheureusement, la proximité de l'autoroute n'est pas indiquée dans l'annonce et le bruit nous a perturbé dans notre sommeil, alors que nous sommes citadins. C'est dommage car la région mérite d'être visitée et c'est un poknt de chite parfait pour le faire.C'est également un peu compliqué d'accéder à Bruxelles depuis ce logement, alors que je m'étais renseignée en amont justement sur ce point là.Les hôtes sont très agréables et disponibles, l'équipement est très bien.

À la découverte de la Belgique

Un grand merci à Fabienne et Rudy pour leur accueil chaleureux et attentionné ! Nous avons passé un séjour absolument parfait au Gîte 1815, idéalement situé à deux pas de la Butte du Lion de Waterloo.Le gîte, en pierre avec sa jolie tour façon château fort, a tout de suite conquis nos deux garçons, qui ont adoré l’endroit ! L’ambiance est à la fois authentique et cosy, la décoration soignée, le confort irréprochable, et tout est pensé dans les moindres détails pour que l’on s’y sente comme chez soi (vaisselle, jouets pour les enfants...).La localisation est idéale pour explorer les environs, avec un accès facile à Bruxelles tout en profitant du calme, de la verdure et de l’histoire qui imprègne les lieux.Encore un immense merci à Fabienne et Rudy pour leur gentillesse, leur disponibilité et leurs précieux conseils. Une adresse pleine de charme que nous recommandons les yeux fermés, et où petits et grands rêvent déjà de revenir !

Tres bien

Nous avons passe un tres bon weekend dans une maison ayant beaucoup de charme alliant authenticité et confort. La proximite avec Bruxelles et les environs calmes en font un lieux tres agreable. Merci a vous pour l'accueil egalement Cepandant, pour un lieu qui est destiné aux familles entre autres, il est important selon moi d'ajouter un dispositif en haut des ecaliers qui empecherait au petits enfants de passer a travers le meuble ou sont rangé des boites qui sert de balustrades car cela a faillit nous arriver et peut etre tres dangereux. Une barriere pour les enfants serait aussi une securite en plus tout en conservant le charme de la maison. Au plaisir de vous revoir
