Marlene is an unbelievably gracious host and went out of her way to ensure our comfort and happiness. Upon our arrival, we were greeted warmly, like an old family member. On our departure, we waved good-bye sadly. In between, we had fantastic breakfasts, nice conversations and an extremely comfortable stay. The rooms are roomy and well appointed. The surrounding grounds were beautiful and full of history. A bit off the beaten path in the best way possible. Many good restaurants close by. Nice central location to striking distance of the Netherlands, Germany and the rest of Belgium. It's been a long time since I've had a stay this nice. Highly recommended!!
