Once upon a time... there was a family who had a great time in The Hague, but also in their French holiday home, the former Gare Blond Berneuil station. The holidays were always very successful and always too short, often with friends and sometimes just with the family.
So the point inexorably came that we, Wendy, Hans and our children Madelief and Berend, started asking ourselves what it is like to live here permanently and go to the Netherlands on holiday. So the other way around.
Since July 1, 2007 we have been living in beautiful, rural Belleix (limousin) in an old farm near our station. During this period we were followed by a TV crew from the program
'I leave'.
La Gare is now a gîte with private swimming pool. We are very proud that all our temporary residents are very satisfied and thoroughly enjoy themselves. In recent years we have continued to expand our services for guests, such as providing meals and facilitating workshops and packages.

Greetings Wendy and Hans
Really a great nice house. Very special to stay in a former refurbished station with a family of 5 (2 VW and 3 kids). A very large house with high ceilings and large fireplace (early May in the evening really nice!). Our plan ...
Family Berwers thank you for your nice review. The fun was mutual.
Thank you to our magnificent pool assistant Sophie for her help.
Have a nice holiday in Italy and hope to see you again at Petit Domaine de la Gare.
Great place to stay, wind down the daily slumb and relax. Going back many years in where the old gare has still many of its original details kept. Heating with a fireplace brings already the right atmosphere. Quiet surroundings...

Hello Arjan and associates,
Thank you for your nice review.
Also thanks for the advice on sustainable solutions to the energy problem.
I'll knock on the door again when it's time to start executing.
The house is beautiful and taken care of down to the last detail in terms of décor. It was also decorated extra nicely for the holidays.
The heaters provide more than enough heat for the whole house, the house is ve...

For you (+ Dutch branch) also all the best and health in 2022.
Hopefully the breakdown on the car won't be too bad.

The holiday station is great to stay, although it may have 1 very small downside, the chandelier in the living room sometimes dares to haunt by just turning on or off (probably the ghost of the former good station master) but t...
