Gîte L'Escale*** Holiday home for 6 people less than a 7 hour drive from Brussels

Gîte L'Escale is located on the domain of Fermette La Planche and is  recently awarded a 3-star rating according to the new 2022 classification of furnished tourist accommodation from A TOUT FRANCE.            Fermette La Planche used to consist of a house (currently my own holiday spot during the summer months) and a large barn with cowshed (converted into 2 gîtes). As an owner/landlord, I naturally attach great importance to the satisfaction of the guests. After all, a stay in the middle of nature does not mean that comfort does not have to be present.

For me personally, a holiday is half successful if I can doze off in a bed with a solid, high-quality mattress, enjoy well-functioning sanitary facilities and also find a fully equipped kitchen. Furthermore, the gîte / domain is characterized by child-friendliness, luxury and comfort.

The gîte - with a separate entrance, a private covered terrace and an enclosed private garden - is located at the front of the former barn. This holiday home is suitable for max. 6 persons (3 bedrooms) and possibly a baby. Furthermore, at the disposal of all guests (together with the other gte) a heated swimming pool (8m x 4m) that has a chlorine-free cleaning method, which significantly increases your swimming pleasure.

Around the pool are 12 sun loungers, a pool shower, toilet, summer kitchen with covered terrace and a jacuzzi, all surrounded by a 2.5 m high natural stone wall. Behind the pool is a jeu de boules court, a swing for the little ones and a small fishing pond.

The gîte can accommodate up to 6 people (3 bedrooms) and possibly a baby. There is always a cozy living room with sitting area with a smart TV with digital satellite receiver, a radio-cd-installation and wireless Fiber internet (WIFI) (500 Mbps!). In the dining room / kitchen is a dining area with 6 chairs. The kitchen is fully equipped with electric stove and oven, extractor hood, fridge, freezer, coffee maker, microwave and dishwasher. There are 3 bedrooms in each gîte. In the first bedroom is a (160 x 200) double bed, in the second bedroom there are two single beds (90 x 200). In the 3rd bedroom there is a bunk bed (90 x 200). The 4 beds (90 x 200) have a 1-person duvet and the double bed is equipped with a 2-person duvet. The normal beds are box spring beds with pocket spring mattresses. The bunk beds also have decent pocket spring mattresses. There are 6 pillows available.

A baby cot and baby chair can be placed for free on request.

Bed linen and towels on request for a fee.

The bathrooms have a spacious shower and a wide sink. There is a separate toilet. In the summer kitchen near the pool are a washing machine, dryer, ironing board, iron and a vacuum cleaner. You will find cleaning supplies in the storage room of each gîte. Smoking is not allowed in the gîte.

Our fermette is surrounded by pasture with sheep and cows

The area is ideal for nature and tranquility lovers, now that the region has not yet been discovered by mass tourism. Here you can enjoy walking, cycling and water sports such as fishing, canoeing, sailing and swimming.
