And us? We are Ania and Andrew, she from Poland, he a Scotsman, married since 1979, living and fashioning this house since 1986. We enjoy welcoming friendly people into our home and exchanging views, news, and opinions about anything and everything! Much of that around the large oak table in the larger kitchen! Speak to us in English, Polish, French, or Dutch. Ania also has strong notions of Italian and Russian!
You are free to make use of our large kitchen which is extremely well equipped both with basic ingredients and tools/utensils in order to prepare meals. With past guests who used the kitchen, we more often than not ended up having impromptu dinner parties, with hosts and guests taking turns to prepare evening meals to highlight their cuisine, and these evenings were great fun!
We offer you a complementary continental breakfast - fruit juice (freshly pressed each morning), "bottomless" tea/coffee, selection of breads, cereals and muesli, butter/jams/marmalade/honeys, a selection of hams, a variety of Belgian cheeses. Eggs always available, you decide how you want them! The kitchen has a large oak table and that's where breakfast is served. We try as much as possible to offer local products, including free-range eggs, farm butter, farm-made jams, Belgian cheeses. For coffee, we have Lavazza espresso or a less strong, more delicate one - you chose! We make the coffee in traditional stove-top espresso machines. For tea we use a 50:50 mix of great English Breakfast:Earl Grey from the wonderful Chinese tea shop in our town! We also have alternatives, like green tea, Nesquik chocolate, Alpro.
If you prefer something other than our "Continental Breakfast", we - or you - can prepare what you want. We have prepared rice-based and noodle-based dishes, dishes suitable for vegans, for gluten-intolerant guests, for diabetics. Just let us know before you arrive, or bring your own ingredients!
