Stepping inside this charming home feels a little like stepping into the pages of a children’s book. The stone walls, wooden beams and forest views give it the feeling of a fairy tale cottage – and every chair, bed, and detail is just right. Goldilocks would love it. The cottage is in the Belgian Ardennes, a three-minute drive from Lierneux. It’s tucked away, a quiet home where you can relax and unwind, and make happy memories. Children are likely to fall in love with the play area outside, while grown-ups will appreciate the deep bathtub and the covered terrace – the perfect spot for alfresco dinners. It’s a great choice for nature lovers, as you can head out on countryside walks straight from the front door. When you’re not exploring the forest and trails on foot, you might drive out to discover more of this scenic area. La Roche-en-Ardenne is a particularly pretty village and is well worth the twenty-seven-minute drive. Rainy days can be merrily whiled away in front of the wood-burning stove. Curl up in the cosy living room with a good book, and just feel your stresses float away.
