Charming 4-person forest house between Bruges and Ghent, with garden, terrace and plenty of nature
This charming holiday home is nestled in a wooded area between Bruges and Ghent, in the rural village of Ursel near Aalter. You'll immediately feel at home here: the warm living room with a wood-burning stove invites you to long evenings by the fire, while during the day you can fully enjoy the surrounding nature. You'll often see deer wandering by, and there are walking and cycling paths everywhere that take you through the beautiful Meetjesland region. In the evening, relax on one of the terraces and admire the sunset, surrounded by the 1500 m² garden.
The holiday home is fully equipped for a carefree stay. Upon arrival, the beds will be made and towels will be ready for you. The kitchen is equipped with a combination oven, dishwasher, freezer, and all necessary cooking utensils. A washing machine and dryer are also provided. Enjoy a cozy breakfast or a home-cooked dinner at the large dining table. Outside, you'll find ample parking with a carport and a storage shed where you can store and charge your bicycles.
On the upper floor there are two separate bedrooms: one with two single beds (which can also be made up as a double) and one with a double bed and space for a baby cot.
Here, comfort meets natural surroundings, ideal for those seeking relaxation and rejuvenation. The house is situated on a ridge (Cuesta), near the Drongengoedhoeve, where you can learn more about the area's history. Ghent and Bruges are less than 30 km away.

Lovely little house in a beautiful, peaceful setting. Centrally located between Bruges and Ghent.
Prima huisje, in mooi en rustige omgeving. Centraal tussen Brugge en Gent.
Owner's response:
It was nice meeting you. Thank you for your comments on this site and in our guestbook! The house was left very clean. Everything was nicely arranged. I appreciated that. Best regards, Lucile.

Lovely cottage, fully equipped. Beautiful garden and wonderful location. Wonderfully quiet. Very friendly and welcoming hosts. Excellent communication. Surroundings: ideal for cycling and hiking, with many sights and historical sites to explore. Lots of farmland, though. Bruges and Ghent are within cycling distance.
Heerlijk huisje, van alle gemakken voorzien. Mooie tuin en prachtige ligging. Lekker stil. Heel vriendelijke, hartelijke gastheer en gastvrouw. Goede communicatie. Omgeving: geschikt voor fiets- en wandeltochten, veel bezienswaardigheden en geschiedenis. Wel veel landbouwlandschap. Brugge en Gent op fietsafstand.
Owner's response:
Glad you had a good time. In the surrounding villages, people are indeed very keen on farming. So the house is right in the woods, and also in the countryside. Those who want to explore have a choice. You even cycled to Ghent or Bruges (?). That's great! Kind regards, Lucile.
Fijn dat jullie het goed hadden. In de omliggende dorpen doet men inderdaad graag aan landbouw. Het huis ligt dus net in het bos, en ook landelijk. Wie erop uit wil kan kiezen. Jullie zijn zelfs met de fiets naar Gent of Brugge gereden (?). Heel tof! Vriendelijke groeten, Lucile.

The house is an oasis of peace, boasting a beautiful garden and being part of a small community in the woods. It is beautifully furnished, and we immediately felt at home. The key handover went perfectly, and the landlady is very friendly and very organized. It's an ideal base for Bruges, Ghent, and the coast.
Das Haus ist eine Oase der Ruhe, verfügt über einen wunderschönen Garten und ist Teil einer kleinen Siedlung im Wald. Es ist sehr schön eingerichtet, wir haben uns sofort wohlgefühlt. Die Schlüsselübergabe ist perfekt gelaufen, die Vermieterin ist sehr freundlich und sehr gut organisiert. Idealer Ausgangspunkt für Brügge und Gent und Küste.
Owner's response:
It was a special meeting. You were very attentive, friendly, tidy, and also interested in the surroundings. Wonderful! Thank you, Stephan and Sonja. We wish you and the whole family much luck for the future. Sincerely, Lucile and Dirk.
Es war ein besonderes Treffen. Ihr wart sehr aufmerksam, freundlich, ordentlich und auch an der Umgebung interessiert. Wunderbar! Danke, Stephan und Sonja. Wir wünschen Ihnen und die ganze Familie viel Glück für die Zukunft.
