About this property

Romantic Farmhouse in Flanders, 30 km from Ghent

Den Haegepreeck is a lovely Flemish farmhouse in the historic village of Horebeke, close to Oudenarde (8km) and Ghent (30km). Set in the rolling green countryside of the Flemish Ardennes which has numerous hiking and cycling possibilities. It would make an ideal base from which to explore some of the most interesting and undiscovered parts of Belgium. The charming property dates from 1805 and is sympathetically restored and authentically furnished (Less suitable for people having difficulties with stairs). The house has modern comforts and central heating. On colder days you will undoubtedly enjoy relaxing moments by the wood stove in the cosy living room or at dinner in the equally cosy dining area and then an exciting game of billiards. On sunny days the garden and terrace are fantastic to sample a local beer or enjoy a barbecue with family or friends.

A wonderful dip into the past

We have spent a wonderful week in this house! When we arrived all was perfect: the house was warm, everything was clean, a good bottle of belgian beer was waiting us...and the Christmas tree was lighting for us :). It is a good place: if you love travelling, you can visit a lot of wonderful cities, all near there (Ghent, Bruges...), if you prefer relax, you can read a book in front of a romantic fireplace. We have brought also our dog, a German Shepard, that was happy like us: he could run in the garden and in the fields near the house. The owners are very kind and friendly.

Lovely Rustic Cottage

We stayed in the cottage for a week during July. We were lucky enough to have beautiful summer weather and enjoyed sitting out early morning and late afternoon in the quiet garden listening to the birds chirping. The cottage has a well-equipped kitchen and two bathrooms and showers (one upstairs and one downstairs). The stairs to the bedrooms are a bit steep and may be challenging for an older person. The village is approx. 2km from the cottage where we found a delicious bakery! A car is definitely required and we enjoyed day trips to Ghent, Bruges and Brussels (approx. 1 hour drive to each) with a special day visiting the World War I museum at Ypres and paying our respects at the Tyne Cot Commonwealth Cemetery.

Super gezellig, in goed gezelschap, fantastisch weer en dus grotendeels buiten geleefd. Alhoewel al het nodige aanwezig was en het huis SUPER speciaal en authentiek is gebleven kunnen wij ons niet voorstellen hoe het week-end zou geweest zijn zonder buiten te kunnen leven. Zitruimte en eetplaats echt krap voor 6 personen en een peutertje (2 jaar en 5 Maand). Geweldige bedden en matrassen, horren in alle ramen (uitzondering van eentje en dat is jammer, daar waren veel muggen), Sanitair netjes en volledig in orde. Keuken klein maar compleet (al wat je nodig kan hebben vind je er terug), zeer goed werkende koeling en ruime diepvriezer (bedankt voor de ijsblokjes bij aankomst met dit warme weer). Door de werken wel weinig parkeerruimte.

Romantisches altes Haus in ruhiger Lage

Das Haus entspricht der Beschreibung. Es ist ein altes Haus, welches mit Charme eingerichtet ist. Wir waren 2 Paare und es hat gut gepasst. Es sind 2 Bäder und 2 Toiletten vorhanden. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet. Die Lage ist sehr ruhig. Von hier aus kann man alle wichtigen Städte in der Umgebung gut erreichen. Wir haben uns dort wohl gefühlt. Verbesserungspunkte sind: Die Waschmaschine ist schon alt. Könnte man erneuern. Bei der Preisklasse der Unterkunft wäre auch ein Trockner angebracht. Für die Gartenmöbel fehlen Sitzauflagen. In einer Dusche waren die Dichtleisten kaputt. Sowas sollte nicht passieren und vor neuen Gästen erneuert werden. Der Kontakt zu Sabine war sehr angenehm. Danke für die Zeit . Wir können die Unterkunft empfehlen.

Hier kommt man zur Ruhe

Eine tolle Unterkunft mit Charakter. Ein altes Haus, das wunderschön renoviert ist. Im oberen Bereich mit den Schlafzimmern ist alles ganz neu, unten ist es ein altes Landhaus. Der Garten ist wunderschön gepflegt! Man ist in einem kleinen Nest, also dauern die Fahrten in vermeintlich nahe liegende Städte lange, aber das kann man einplanen. Wundervoll und eine große Empfehlung!

Genieten in deze romantische boerderij

Wij hebben een heerlijk verblijf gehad met twee gezinnen en twee honden in deze zeer rustig gelegen boerderij. De woning is gedeeltelijk gerenoveerd, echter de benedenverdieping is wel wat verouderd en is wel toe aan een opknapbeurt. De gehele bovenverdieping en badkamers waren daarentegen super mooi en fris. Een dikke 10. Heerlijk ruime tuin, aardige eigenaren, staan altijd voor je klaar. De kinderen mochten nog kersen plukken bij de eigenaar. Top. Al met al een super verblijf gehad!!

Belgian Hideaway

This is a really sweet and charming cottage as you can see from the pictures on the website and it was our second visit here so you can tell we think it is lovely. Parking is possible on the driveway so that is very convenient. Ground floor accommodation is excellent with separate kitchen, dinning room, games room (although we did not understand this version of billiards), generous sitting room, shower room and separate toilet. The Garden is delightful and sheltered so we spent a lot of time on the sun loungers (6 provided) and ate most of our meals at the wooden table outside, this would fit six people if necessary. Up the rather steep stairs to the first floor (it is an old farmhouse so get used to them), where there are three generous rooms (access is through the first two rooms to the further room so you need to be on familiar terms with those you are staying with). Only downsides were when the temperature hit 35c it was a bit stuffy to sleep and we were bitten by mosquitoes but that happens at home too! Sabine was delightful when we arrived and made us feel very welcome. All in all thoroughly recommended.

Cosy yet spacious

This is a great little cottage located just a few kms from Oudenaarde. The interior is rustic but very comfortable. The bedrooms are spacious (note access is via a steep ladder, and all three rooms interlink (i.e. you have to walk through the bedrooms to get downstairs). Sabine is very helpful and friendly. The outdoor space is superb - if only the Belgian weather offered more opportunities to use it! There is a corner shop/deli a couple of kms away which sells excellent meat and cheese and fresh bread, as well as a bakery in the centre of St Maria Horebeke.

Not recommended

There are no pictures or explanation of how to access the bedrooms. This could be because the stairs consist of small uneven wooden steps with a rope for support which provides for an almost vertical ascent and alarming descent. The property is quite small downstairs and dated. The owners are not prepared to make any concession for the fact we booked for a week but stayed only one night, despite having paid the cost of accommodation, a damages deposit and cleaning costs upfront. Horebeke, set in a remote location, and surrounding district provide very few amenities. Anyone who may think Belgium will provide a similar holiday experience to France will be disappointed as we were.
Response from VrboOwner on 31 March 2020
This cottage has been rent as a holiday Home for more than 17 years (since 1997) and has always had the same stairs. No one has ever made problems about it. People who doubted about this first asked information. These customers did not seem to have problems with walking or Gatting up the stairs when I was welcoming them at the entrance of the house. They brought 2 dogs which probably couldn't take the iquite steep stairs, which are part of the authenticiteit Flemish house which dates from 1805. But dogs shouldn't go in the bedrooms of course. Usually People are really fond of the typical,house and interior and talk about the lovely cottage and garden. These Guests left the house withouth saying a word to us, although my husband and I were both at Home. We found,out later when we recieven their email. We did not. understatement at all their deception and sudden departure. I had prepared the house myself during 5 before their arrival, had paid attention to all the details , had put fresh flowers in the living room etc, so we really don'tunderstand and regret Of course Belgium is not France... Best regards, Sabine Blommaert-Schowanek

Lovely cottage - Central location

We stayed for a week over Christmas in order to visit local towns and cities with Christmas Markets. Sabine and family made us feel very welcome indeed. The cottage was lovely and full of character, with open wooden beams in most rooms and huge spaces in the bedrooms - the photos do not do them justice (though they are all linked with only one exit - which did not cause us a problem but may do for others who need more privacy). Downstairs was smaller but ideal for our family of 4 (with 2 small children) and could have fit 2 more adults if needed. Location needs a car ideally but is an hour (or less) from Bruges, Brussels, Tournai, Ghent, Kortrijk and a few other small towns. Lille is also less than a hour away though we did not get time visit, and Antwerp is also reachable in about the same time. We would happily stay here agin if visiting Flanders.

Host profile image
Welkom!
Mijn naam is Sabine en samen met mijn man Dirk zijn we de hoeders van deze bijzondere plek.
We houden ervan om oude gebouwen nieuw leven te geven en een warme, gastvrije omgeving te creëren waar mensen kunnen onthaasten, samen genieten en mooie herinneringen maken.
We hopen dat je hier even kunt vertragen, genieten van de rust, de natuur en al het moois dat de omgeving te bieden heeft, en dat je je hier helemaal thuis zult voelen. Het is telkens weer fijn om onze gasten als vreemden te zien arriveren en als vrienden en met een glimlach weer te zien vertrekken.
Van harte welkom!

Why they chose this property

This property used to be my parents' weekend house. At the moment they bought it, I was 4 years old and we lived in Brussels. The cottage had been empty for 15 years and my parents made much efforts to restore it, while keeping all the authentic details. When I grew up, I met my husband in the local youth club and now we live permanently in Horebeke. We already rented it for more than 2à years as a holiday home and in the beginning of 2019 major improvements were made to the cottage, but we also tried to keep the typical and cosy atmosphere of the former Flemish farmhouses. There is now an extra toilet and bathroom upstairs, the roof is well insulated and all the bedrooms were freshly repainted and re-decorated so we really hope you will enjoy your stay!

What makes this property unique

Den Haegepreeck is veel meer dan een vakantiewoning. Het is een authentiek Vlaamse hoevetje, dat over de jaren met veel liefde werd gerestaureerd en waar geschiedenis, rust en hedendaags comfort elkaar ontmoeten.

De woning biedt plaats aan 8 gasten en is met veel zorg ingericht. Warme, natuurlijke materialen, een gezellige leefruimte en een volledig uitgeruste keuken zorgen ervoor dat je je meteen thuis voelt. Buiten geniet je van een ruime privétuin en een terras in een beschutte hoek, waar je zelfs in het voor- en najaar lekker in het zonnetje kunt zitten.

Wat Den Haegepreeck echt uniek maakt, is de combinatie van rust en centrale ligging. Je verblijft midden in een groene, landelijke omgeving met prachtige wandel- en fietsroutes, terwijl historische steden zoals Gent, Oudenaarde en Brugge vlot bereikbaar zijn voor een daguitstap. En na een drukke bezoekdag is het heerlijk thuiskomen in deze rustige omgeving.

De woning is ideaal voor families, vrienden- of vriendinnengroepen en wandel- en fietsweekends. De tuin is heerlijk om je even terug te trekken onder de pruimenboom met een boek, een streekbiertje of een kop koffie.

Den Haegepreeck maakt deel uit van 't Verstand van Leven, een bezielde plek waar authenticiteit, schoonheid en gastvrijheid centraal staan. We geloven dat een verblijf méér mag zijn dan een overnachting. Het mag een plek zijn waar er weer ruimte ontstaat voor rust, aandacht voor jezelf en voor de mensen die belangrijk voor je zijn.

Of je nu komt om de Vlaamse Ardennen te ontdekken, elkaar terug te zien of gewoon een paar dagen tot rust wilt komen: we hopen dat je hier herinneringen maakt die nog lang blijven nazinderen.

Van harte welkom.
