Large and comfortable holiday home, ideal for family reunions / friends
Our beautiful and large house welcomes you warmly and comfortably for your family holidays or your parties with friends.
Our house is located in a very small traditional village in the Ardennes 2 steps from the center, and at the foot of beautiful walks in the Natural Park Viroin-Hermeton. The house is an old stone house dating back over 120 years, renovated with style and equipped with all possible amenities (TV / DVD, WIFI, kitchen equipped with dishwasher, steam oven, toaster etc, etc). With 350 meters of living space, 6 large bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, it is perfect for family gatherings or parties with your groups of friends. A wood stove will also allow you to bring a warm atmosphere to your autumn and winter evening (wood is provided for free). The house is also suitable for children of all ages, with 2 cots, several highchairs, a baby bath and a changing table. There is also a play area in the lounge and a kicker (table football), as well as a swing in the garden. A private garden of 10 acres overlooking the valley Viroinval and decorated with a large wooden deck and picnic benches, as well as basic outdoor furniture is at your disposal. It is accessible by a small path of 30 meters long.
While being located 2 steps from the center of the village, the house is in a very quiet street where you will find all the necessary equipment for the weekend: a small grocery store, as well as the best butcher in the area, a bakery and a restaurant. Everything is 5 minutes walk.
The village of Oignies-en-Thierache is a very quiet village, surrounded by hundreds and thousands of hectares of forest and 8 km from the Meuse. The Viroin-Hermeton region is known for its great diversity. It is located in the Viroin-Hermeton Nature Park in southern Wallonia which is famous for its richly varied flora and fauna. It is paradise for lovers of nature and the countryside. Starting from your door, beautiful paths will take you to nearby villages or you can also hike in the woods and forests with our hiking map. The region is also ideal for cyclists with the presence of the Ravel (Autonomous Network of Slow Lanes), a green network organized around the defunct railway lines and transport routes of rivers and canals. It is possible to rent bicycles in the villages and nearby towns. You can also go kayaking on the Viroin River or go horseback riding at the nearby riding school. On a more touristy plan, you can take the steam train that stops at the villages of the region (from Mariembourg to Treignes) or go to the local brewery open to visitors, where you can enjoy a local beer, the Super de Fagnes . You can also visit the steam train museum and its workshop where the steam trains are renovated.

Maison accueillante et chaleureuse, propriétaires à l’écoute. Cuisine super pratique. Les familles y trouveront leur bonheur. Baby foot, jeux pour les plus petits. Le village est authentique et paisible. Les garçons ont joué au foot sur la rue, ça n’est plus possible partout ! Les voisins rencontrés sont sympathiques.
De woning is ruim. De communicatie met de eigenares verliep vlot wanneer we vragen hadden. Het is wat jammer dat de tuin niet echt verbonden is met de woning. Gelukkig is er wel een terras dat aansluit bij de woning. De tuin zelf kan wat opfrissing gebruiken: terras is niet echt geschikt wanneer je er met jonge kinderen bent. De bbq was ook niet proper achtergelaten waardoor we toch wel wat schrobwerk hadden. De bakker en beenhouwer in het dorp zijn zeker aan te raden.
Ruim huis in een rustige buurt. Mooie omgeving. Fijn dat er op iedere verdieping een badkamer is. Het huis is redelijk schoon. In de kasten e.d. veel (gebruikte, oude) spullen. Het geheel oogt rommelig. Kapotte stoel was bijvoorbeeld niet weggehaald.
Verder goed en snel contact via de Whatsapp met Cécile. Zelfs in het Nederlands.
Mitten in der Idylle gelegen, bietet dieses gemütliche und geräumige Haus Platz für Freundesgruppen und große Familien. Plus: Kaminofen, Garten, viel Platz für Wanderschuhe und Geraffel, Tischkicker, große Küche, sehr nette Gastgeberin.
On a passé un super week-end en famille.Gîte très propre et spacieux. Bien décoré et complet au niveau des infrastructures. Belles chambres de belles dimensions. Salles de bain nickel et à chaque étages. Je recommande
Wir waren 2 Wochen mit 4 Kindern hier und haben die Zeit sehr genossen. Es war für alle reichlich Platz da und die Kinder fanden es toll, auch mal einen Raum für sich zu haben. Der Tischkicker hat alle begeistert. Das Haus liegt sehr ruhig in einem kleinen Dorf in dem sich aber alle Einkaufsmöglichkeiten befinden, um den täglichen Bedarf zu decken.

De woning heeft op het eerste oog een vijftger jaren uitstraling maar ze is gezellig en knus
Met een groep van 13 personen hebben wij met onze leesclub een drie daagse bijeenkomst gehouden om ons te verdiepen in enkele thema's van de komende tijd. De grote eetkamertafel kan zowel voor gemeenschappelijk eten als voor vergaderen worden gebruikt. Koken voor de groep leverde ook geen problemen op. De slaapkamers waren goed met voldoende dubbele bedden om de echtparen onder te brengen. Tussendoor werd gewandeld en dan bleek het handig dat vanaf de nabij gelegen kerk vier wandelingen met diverse lengtes waren uitgezet. Kortom een prima huis voor een groep die bij elkaar wil komen om te praten of vergaderen en tussendoor te wandelen.

very lovely house in a beautiful and attractive area
We enjoyed the stay a lot. Cecile was always available for us, when we had questions because of the house or when we needed tips for exploring the area. You are very Close to france and Luxembourg is not far. There are cute cities around an you can undertake a lot. The house is great, a lot of space for everyone and a well organised kitchen.

Top Weekend
Wij waren met een groep daar op verlof en we zouden het alleen maar kunnen aanraden. Zeer goed uitgerust huis met alle noodzakelijke voorzieningen. Kind en diervriendelijk. Top locatie en de huiseigenares was ook geweldig. Alleen maar positief. Nogmaals bedankt aan de eigenaars.

Super séjour en groupe dans le centre de Oignies !
La maison est propre, spacieuse et parfaitement équipée pour passer un confortable séjour en groupe. Idéalement située dans le centre de Oignies, elle permet de profiter des animations du village ainsi que de la nature avoisinante.
Nous avons été chaleureusement accueillis par Cécile, qui s'est montrée très disponible.
A recommander sans hésitation!
Merci!
