Welcome in La ferme du Bois-le-Comte

La Ferme du Bois-le-Comte (the farm of the count’s forest) is situated in the Ardennes, in the south-east of Belgium, on the French border. Central in Europe, it can be reached in 1 hour by car from Luxembourg, 2 hours from Brussels and less than 5 hours by train from London, Paris or Amsterdam.
The farm enjoys a superb position in the midst of nature at one of Belgium’s most beautiful, quiet and energetically powerful sites. It is at an intersection of footpaths, near the famous abbey of Orval and GR 129.
The sheltered position of the courtyard (and the famous micro-climate of the region!) often make it possible to eat outside from early Spring onwards, which of course is great!
The grounds cover 10 hectares: gently sloping hills with old oak trees, full of nice corners to read, lie in the sun or meditate. The old apple tree and the labyrinth are favourite spots. Our horses have lots of space and we love to see them gallop over the hill crest.
“When you move a stone, it will be upset for 3 months.”
Although in our rational western culture these words from a Mongolian man may seem weird, they reflect our vision and the atmosphere here.
La Ferme du Bois-le-Comte offers peace, space, warmth, and lots of pure, unspoilt nature: fresh and unpolluted air, clear spring water, fragrant wood fire, marvellous star-spangled skies and ... heavenly silence. Natural sounds, natural light, natural smells, natural materials, natural flavours: a treat for your senses and your soul. If you are looking for sparkling accommodation away from the crowds we will be happy to share this gorgeous place with you. Welcome!
