Great concept, but not well operated. Place needs a good scrub - patios have cigarette butts on the patio space and the bathroom tile grout has mold in the shower area. Our toilet needed the supply line opened and closed to operate. Repairs required.

Amazing location loved it.
It was the first time I booked a hotel outside if citycenter. I'm hooked , the location was amazing the owners were friendly and overall I enjoyed my stay . Will definitely go there again. The city close by had great food . If you look to wake up and go for a walk in a forest this us a great place to stay. They've got a pony make sure you give it an apple or something.

Cosy, warm and friendly b&b outside of Brussels
This B & B is tucked away, about a 10 mins walk from the Groenendaal station. Surrounded by the Sonian Forest. Was a fantastic and comfortable stay and the hosts were just fantastic. On the first day he told us that he had a wedding to attend so to help ourselves to the bar as they won't be there to serve us. It felt like a really warm and trusting environment. If you had your own horses you may also bring them and they stay in the stables at the compound. Really nice atmosphere going on. Relaxed and felt like home away from home. I highly recommend it for little getaway right outside of Brussels.

PROS AND CONS OF THIS HOTEL
PROS: Nice location near forest Nice size guest rooms and bathrooms. Free parking and Wifi 20 minute drive to central of Brussels and most nearby attractions. CONS: No air conditioning in guest rooms (none observed) Mosquitos abound, you are in the woods. Somewhat overpriced compared to other hotels in area. Front desk staff not always available, usually only during business hours. Mind the extra guest charge! When booking more than 2 people an extra guest charge is tacked on per night.

A beautiful place surrounded by a forest (10/10)
10/10. If I ever go to Belgium again (which I intend to do), this will be the place to stay. It was hard to find (there is a pedestrian path, but unless you already know where it is, it may be difficult because the station, Groenendaal, has many closed off exits), but all possible regrets while walking there disappeared the moment we arrived. The room was amazing: We were a four person family but there was enough space for six people (3 double beds, two on the second floor in a beautiful attic with a ceiling window). Extremely beautiful and very spacious with a high ceiling. I would love to stay there again. We only stayed there one night, but I wish we could've stayed longer (we had prior plans outside the country). The place allows bicycle and horse renting, and I would've loved to horse-ride. On the walk to Hippo-droom, you pass a small forest. Our family saw a galloping deer in the distance. The owner is also an incredibly friendly guy.

A most relaxed and accommodating welcome and stay. We were very well looked after throughout. The B & B is an unique building and we had a roomy, very well equipped and comfortable loft conversion. Our only slight criticism is that the design and fit of the shower screen made it difficult to contain the water ! If you look at the map and see that there's a trainline nearby don't worry - you hear the odd train if you're outside but absolutely nothing in the room.Highly recommended and would definitley stay again.

Very cosey house in beautyful nature.
A wonderful place close to woods and public transportation. By car you are in Brussels city centre in 15 min. The owner couple are friendly and kind. You can even bring your horse for the night.
