Deer in the Lantern Lights

Set in a wooded holiday park in the middle of the Belgian countryside, this home offers a comfortable and tranquil space for anyone looking to unwind and reconnect with nature, without being completely isolated. Here, you can still find Durbay – picturesque and often referred to as the smallest city in Europe – only minutes away.

When you’re not out sunbathing poolside or making a splash in the communal pool, you’ll likely find yourself laying back on the sofa with your nose in a good book. Get up every now and again to saunter over to the compact, but sleek, kitchen where you can pop another pod into the coffee machine and brew up fresh cuppa. Nurse it as you sit in the light of the sliding door – which should ideally be open to let all of that fresh, countryside air in.

Sit around the kitchen island for a light lunch, but when you’re really not in the mood to cook, go out exploring the narrow streets of Durbay until you find a restaurant or cafe that takes your fancy. Visit the Bomal Market on Sundays – only around ten minutes away – and try the cycling trails by walking five minutes to Funtrail Durbay.
