Cottage holiday rentals in Forest

We had a lovely stay & felt immediately at home. The house & garden were beautiful with lots of personal touches. We also rented the greenhouse & stayed in there one night with our baby between us. Very cozy! We had lots of rain but it didn’t matter because the kitchen with veranda was perfect for nestling inside. We still made full use of the bbq as it was covered on the side of the house. Communication with Fré was easy & he was very helpful and fast to answer. Recommended!

The accommodation was great! We have enjoyed the beautiful location at the holiday home. The home was completely as in the pictures. The Bornem area is beautiful for biking and hiking. The jacuzzi on the terrace of the house overlooking the pond, was blissful after a long cycling day. Just a pity that we had to provide bed linen and towels ourselves. Thank you sooo much Tim!

Du was a superb host. super friendly. She organised a breakfast delivery personally for our first morning as it was my husbands 60th birthday. Champagne and a bread basket full of delights! We had a wonderful relaxing 3 night break. The facilities were super. Hot tub, sauna, pool. The kitchen was well equipped and like new. The bed was good quality. We slept downstairs and didnt use the up stairs apartment, but had the use of the entire retreat. I loved the African inspired decor. Very stylish. All in all, a 5☆ experience. We cannot wait to visit again.

This location is not cheap, but you get value for your money. Everything is in order inside, coffee tea, towels and bathrobes. Extra keys and a lot of attention has been paid to the interior. There is not much to do in the area, it is very quiet, that's what we came for.

Beautiful surroundings

Everything was perfect, very happy with the accommodation

Had a nice bike weekend with friends here. The cottage was neat and the communication smooth. Definitely recommended

We enjoyed our stay with a group of friends! Lovely space outside and the house had everything we needed. We would book it again for our group!

Had a great stay. Close to Antwerp and Ghent, which was the main reason for our stay. But still peace and quiet around you when you were at the cottage. Our dog also had a great time. He played nicely with sweet dog Bo.

This is a 5 star place. Spacious, clean, extremely well equipped. Communication with Savina was easy and proactive. She kindly let us check out a bit later when we had car trouble. We enjoyed cooking together and evenings on the sofa, the kids could play outside and we could let them roam without worry. Comfy beds and quiet nights made for good sleep. If you come with kids you have to visit bois de rêves, great playground in the area.

I had a lovely stay, with a place to store my bicycle! Yves is very friendly and has really interesting stories to share, but also gives you all the space to do your own thing. Thanks and hopefully meet you again!

Absolutely recommended, we enjoyed the stay very much! The cottage is very cozy, super neat and clean, and the enclosed garden was also perfect for our dog. Supermarket and restaurants within walking distance.

We had a fantastic stay her in May 2025. A lovely warm welcome and beautiful and clean. Well equipped and Katrien was really helpful and friendly. We enjoyed the boat trip to Antwerp and the house was great to Enjoy the area. We came with may parents and 2 children. The photos don't do it justice! Thanks again!

We had a nice and relaxing stay. Very nice and clean cottage with a beautiful view. On Saturday evening we enjoyed 2 hours of wellness that is located in the same building. Clean and warm wellness with the correct explanation of the hosted. Definitely recommended!

Excellent home! Absolutely beautiful! So peaceful and serene! Highly recommend for someone looking for a city getaway! One of the best farmhouses I’ve ever stayed at! A+++

We had a great time with the kids and were totally out of place. Accommodation 30 min from Brussels and the house was quiet and peaceful after a day in town. The little plus the kids were delighted by the animals around.

We were lucky enough to stay at this wonderful countryside home, and we couldn’t be more grateful. From the very first moment, the hosts made us feel truly welcome — their warmth, kindness, and attention to detail made all the difference and were undoubtedly the heart of this special experience. The surroundings are simply magical: nature, peace, and that serene atmosphere that invites you to disconnect from everything and reconnect with what truly matters. Every corner of the house feels thoughtfully designed for rest and comfort, with care, good taste, and a deep respect for the environment. We return home with our hearts full of gratitude — for the place, for the experience… and above all, for the people who made it possible. Thank you, truly! Gert,Naiara, Kate & Beth.

We had a great stay in Christine's beautiful place. Lots of space, easy to get in and out. We especially enjoyed the garden in the sun.

Quick 1-night stay after Pairi Diaza with 2 & 4 year old. We felt safe in this Airbnb and found it tidy. Upstairs sleeping area was more loft-like with only a wall to separate main bed from bunk beds and talking can be heard easily if guests are downstairs because there are no doors. Pros: -Close to E429 -Easy directions, cottage access, wifi access, and tv usage were used without issue -Felt refreshingly cool like air conditioning (~18°C outside) until heat kicked on in evening -All bedding and towels smelled freshly laundered -Baby high chair and baby cot were in great condition -Very comfortable memory foam beds and king(?) sized bed and comfy single bunk beds -Clean patio/outdoor space Cons: -SAFETY ISSUE: Steep stairs (almost ladder like) with unusable gate at top of stairs -Slight roadnoise from bigger vehicles -Sliding bathroom door does not provide privacy nor can it be locked, allowing door to slide 1/4 open -No kitchen scale or measuring devices for meal prep

We had a great time at this cottage. The place is quiet and perfectly equipped for a long stay. The proximity to the train station (750 m walk) and shops a short drive away is very convenient. Yannick and Bénédicte, our warm hosts, were very proactive and always attentive to our needs, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We particularly appreciated the value for money and decided to extend our stay to enjoy the serenity of the place more. Ideal for teleworking while escaping stress, with an easy connection to Brussels. We'll be happy to go back!

beautiful place to stay. Everything is to your liking! Sofie is a very attentive host! Recommended!
