Domaine du Grenier

Potentially great place but unfortunately tired and not very well looked after. We have stayed in September 2023 for 10 days in this Gite. The place attracted us due to its location to discover this versatile area, its covered, heated pool and the possibility to charge our car. Not to mention the wifi, which should nowadays be a matter of course nor the comfort of a relaxation mattress as mentioned in several comments. Well, where should we start? Unfortunately, our stay wasn’t just holiday, so when you have to work and the internet connection cuts off at various times of the day is this not helpful. The mattress in our appartement was certainly NOT new and comfortable as in the other Gites apparently. A real shame when you stay longer than the average stay. Thankfully there was a sofa bed, so we could separate…Also that was from a limited comfort. The 3 possible charging points for electric cars are a disappointment, only one works. The lady who works here told us, that if you switch all three on, the fuse trips. Consequently, there is a problem, when the occupancy is high and several vehicles like to use this “new normal” amenity. The pool and shower area is very dirty and has hardly be cleaned in all of the 10 days, I have never seen a toilet without paper, (a dirty nappy was still in the bin during the full duration of our stay). The advertised 29.5°C is doubtable. A certain leftover from COVID times is the schedule introduced to assure a 30 Min. Exclusivity use of the Pool which works relatively well despite some Belgium’s not respecting the house rules. The different seating areas are sweet but why are the cushions so dirty? Therefore less inviting. The surrounding garden and terrace area tired and not well looked after. Which gives you an impression of “after a long season the owners/ staff are as tired as the flower pots”. Completely dried up and not been watered for the entire duration of our stay. Why keeping them visible for guests who pay to stay there? Let’s not get too upset about all the negatives, the area is beautiful and in 10 days by far, you can’t visit everything. Would we come back here? Well very doubtful.

Overnight stop on way to the ferry. Excellent b&b. You will love it!
