Wonderfull house and wood area to explore

We were there beginning of June. The house and the backyard are pretty cool and modern. The house owner Nathalie was very friendly to us, explained details about the house and gave us some hints for places to visit. The house was very clean and we enjoyed the stay a lot. The location of the house is very nearby to a train station. From there you can go fast to Brügge and the Sea.Thanks a lot,Irina
