A Haven of Peace in Walloon Brabant: Welcome to our 18th century former barn, a place full of history completely renovated to offer comfort and authenticity. Located in the heart of nature, our cottage can accommodate up to 8 adults and 1 baby. It has 4 bedrooms, a spacious garden of 17 acres, two sunny terraces, as well as a jacuzzi, a billiard table, and a foosball table for unforgettable moments of relaxation. Just 5 minutes from the Provincial Domain of Hélécine, an exceptional site offering free activities for all ages throughout the year, and less than 10 minutes from Plopsaqua, a bowling alley, and with direct access to the network of junction points, our cottage is an ideal starting point for families and hiking or cycling enthusiasts. A Local Anchor, a Spirit of Sharing: We have imagined Gertrude & Friends as a place where you feel good, respecting local traditions and know-how. Gertrude’s “friends” are the producers, artisans, and artists of the region, whom we showcase through a small grocery store of artisanal products: honey, local beers, fruit wines, jams… Upon request, a local baker delivers fresh bread and pastries every morning. Craving a gourmet meal? The Damison, less than 1 km away, offers menus to enjoy on-site or take away to savor local products in the comfort of the cottage.

We are Laetitia and François. We discovered by chance this beautiful part of Walloon Brabant, 15 years ago while looking to settle between Namur and Liège. It was love at first sight and since then, we have always wanted to share it with our friends and family. Opening a guest house is a life project for us. Today, as recent owners of ‘Gertrude’, a typical house in the region, we are happy to offer you a guest house that reflects our values: limiting our ecological footprint; consuming local and seasonal products; discovering and supporting local producers; encouraging nature-related activities..
