La Bruyere du Coq - Stables
A renovated loft above the old stables, Belgian countryside
A calm, renovated loft above the old stables of a country house dating back to 1906, tucked in the village of Sart-Dames-Avelines near Villers-la-Ville, Walloon Brabant. A quiet place to slow down, spend time with family, and enjoy long summer evenings outside. One queen bedroom, one twin bedroom, and a sofa bed in the living area, plus a shower room and a large living/dining room with a fully equipped kitchen. The garden has a shaded terrace, an outdoor dining table, and a BBQ - perfect for lazy mornings and evenings with the kids. About a 10-minute drive from the Cistercian Abbaye de Villers, with Brussels roughly 30 km away. Free private parking and WiFi throughout, and well-behaved pets are welcome.

Meet your hosts
A family-run stay in a Belgian country house, surrounded by forests and farmland - wake up to calm and birdsong. The stables loft has high ceilings, wooden beams, and a wood stove, all original. We're an international family: Belgian, Kiwi, and well-travelled, and happy to help with local tips in English, French, Dutch, Spanish, or Portuguese. Travelling with a dog? Just let us know in advance - we have a very enthusiastic young dog of our own who loves meeting new friends.

Getting there
There are two gates at the property - please use the right one so you don't end up at a locked entrance. The wrought-iron gate right on the house facade (next to the yellow door, by the pedestrian crossing) is always CLOSED - please don't try to open it. Instead, continue a little further along the road (past the tree-lined section with the yellow bike lane markings) to the second gate, set into a low brick wall with its own 'La Bruyere du Coq' sign. That gate is always OPEN and leads onto the dirt driveway - that's your entrance.
