HOUSE RULES

- Visitors are welcome between 08:00 and 22:00, provided you inform us beforehand. Overnight visitors are only allowed with our permission.

- Please avoid leaving doors or windows open for extended periods. To conserve energy, the automatic climate control system switches off automatically if they are left open too long.

- Under Belgian law, waste must be separated into PMD (plastic packaging, metal packaging and drinks cartons), food and garden waste, paper and cardboard, glass, and general waste. Please sort your waste correctly throughout your stay. Separate bins and a sorting guide with explanations and pictograms are provided in the kitchen.

- When using the oven, please use the aluminium foil provided and remove any grease or food residue afterwards. Please wipe up any spills on the hob promptly to prevent them from burning onto the surface.

- For safety reasons, it is not permitted to enter the horses’ paddock without the host's permission and supervision.


BEFORE CHECK-OUT

- We do not charge a cleaning fee and expect guests to treat the property with care. Our final clean covers routine cleaning; it does not include washing up, removing burnt-on or dried-on food, or cleaning excessively dirty rooms or toilets.

- Please ensure that all kitchenware you have used is clean, dry and neatly put away. The oven, hob, microwave, fridge and freezer must also be free of food residue, including burnt-on or dried-on food.

- Please place your rubbish and recycling in the appropriate bins in the shed beside the on-site car park. A separate container is provided there for glass.

- Please place used towels in the laundry basket.

- Close all windows and doors and switch off lights and appliances.

- Please make sure to check out by 10:00 unless otherwise agreed.


OTHER THINGS TO NOTE

- Our check-out instructions are also provided at the front of the guest information folder in the apartment.

- A security deposit of €500 is required. This deposit will be refunded after check-out, provided the property has been left in good condition and no additional charges apply. Any applicable charges may be deducted from the deposit. If these exceed €500, an invoice will be issued for the outstanding amount.

- Additional cleaning: If the property requires cleaning beyond our routine final clean, an additional charge of €25 per person for each extra hour or part thereof will apply. As cleaning is carried out by a team of two, the total charge is €50 per additional hour or part thereof.

- Additional charges or compensation may also apply in the following cases:
* Theft
* Damage to the holiday home or grounds
* Excessive electricity or water consumption
* Littering or leaving dog waste on the grounds, including discarded cigarette butts
* Smoking indoors (€150 charge)
* Soiling of furniture or linen (€150 charge)

Any deductions from the security deposit will be itemised and explained. Where applicable, additional costs exceeding the deposit will be invoiced separately.

- Roadworks continuing until the end of 2027 may cause some disruption during working hours. Most of the work on our part of the street will be done before Christmas 2026. Vehicle access to our courtyard car park should remain possible most of the time. We will inform guests in good time of any closures or diversions. If our car park is temporarily inaccessible, there is ample parking in the surrounding streets.
