Put simply, this home in the middle of the Belgian countryside is huge. Yet despite this impressive size, it still manages to feel rather homely.

Inside, there's a whole host of spaces in which to gather everybody together, from the bright dining room and games room to the living area complete with an upright piano and the modern kitchen full of sleek black surfaces. We're also fans of the circular tub in one of the bathrooms that is sure to be a relaxing spot at the end of a productive day.

When the weather's pleasant, there's a lovely garden with a lawn, barbecue and plenty of seating for enjoying bursts of sunshine. If that sounds a little too sedate, however, there's a famed cycling route network running throughout the local area and both the towns of Hasselt and Sint-Truiden can be reached in just over a quarter of an hour's drive, too.

Home truths:
*There's parking available at the home
*Up to two well-behaved dogs are welcome to accompany you during your stay
*Your host can provide a cot and high chair for free upon request
*Even though the home is spread across two levels, there are two bedrooms and bathrooms on the ground floor
