Where the whole group comes together — and nobody goes without.

Cooking for 26 is not a chore here — it's the highlight of the day. Two professional dishwashers clean everything in one go after dinner. A Lacanche stove where four cooks can work side by side. And enough cold storage for the entire weekend shop. No washing-up arguments, no shortage of pans, no stress.

• 2 Miele Professional dishwashers: 26 plates, 26 glasses, 26 sets of cutlery — all clean in 30 minutes. No chore, no discussion about who does the dishes.
• Lacanche Cluny stove: Restaurant-grade stove with gastronorm oven and warming cabinet. Room for multiple cooks to work at the same time.
• Full commercial equipment: Professional pots, pans and utensils for 26 guests. Everything you need to cook ambitiously — or simply easily for a large group.
• Custom cold storage: Professional fridge and cool pantry with room for the entire group's groceries. No Tetris with packed fridges.

This is the moment you book for: 26 people at one table. No separate kids' corner, no two tables in two rooms. Three solid oak tables form one long surface of 7.2 metres — with a view of the garden through the large gate. This is where your stories, dishes and glasses come together.

• 7.2 metres long, 26 seats: The whole group sits together. No separate kids' table, no rotation, no "we don't fit." One table, everyone included.
• Extra wide: Wide enough so everyone can see and hear each other. Dishes go round, conversations cross — the way a family dinner should be.
• Comfortable chairs: Belgian-crafted chairs you'll happily stay in long after dessert. No folding chairs, no benches.
• Custom mood lighting: Lighting mounted on an original farmhouse beam — our own design that suits the atmosphere of an authentic 1849 farmstead.

The biggest stress with a large group? The morning rush in the bathroom. At ArdenNest, that doesn't exist. Every bedroom has its own bathroom — fully enclosed, with shower or bath, toilet and washbasin. No queue, no schedule, no fuss. 9 rooms, 9 bathrooms.

• No morning arguments: Everyone showers whenever it suits them. No schedule, no queue, no 'who used all the hot water.' That's the comfort that makes the difference.
• Completely private: Every bathroom is fully enclosed with its own toilet, washbasin and shower or bath. No shared spaces, even with 26 guests.
• Silent ventilation: All bathrooms are equipped with silent central ventilation. Optimal air quality without waking anyone up.
• Towel service: Quality towels available as an optional extra. One less thing to pack, one less thing to organise.

No fuss about who gets the biggest room. Our nine bedrooms are spread across two floors and all offer the same high comfort: boxspring beds with 25 cm thick mattresses and De Witte Lietaer bed linen. Choose the room that suits your family — everything else takes care of itself.

• 3 rooms for 2 people: Ideal for couples or grandparents seeking peace and quiet. Each with its own ensuite bathroom and the same quality finish as every other room.
• 4 rooms for 3 people: Flexible for families with a child. Enough space without feeling like a hall — just right for togetherness and privacy.
• 2 rooms for 4 people: With mezzanine — the favourite with children. Sleeping 'in the attic' feels like an adventure, while parents read their book downstairs.
• De Witte Lietaer bed linen: Pure cotton sateen from a Belgian family business setting the standard since 1898. Blissfully soft with a subtle sheen — waking up well-rested is the foundation of a great stay.

A house for 26 that feels like a home — not a hall. Different seating areas mean you naturally split into smaller groups after dinner: a chat by the fireplace, a board game at the table, a glass of wine overlooking the garden. Being together without being on top of each other.

• Fireplace: The centrepiece of the evening. Gather by the fire while the children are already in bed.
• Multiple seating areas: Not one big hall, but several spots to settle into. Everyone finds their own corner — or joins in.
• Intimate atmosphere: Authentic materials, warm lighting and thoughtful furnishing. It feels like home, even with a large group.
• Garden views: The large windows overlook the rolling landscape. Keeping an eye on the children while sitting on the sofa — that's possible here.

Nothing is straight, nothing is rigid — a vast rolling landscape where children disappear for hours and adults unwind. More than enough space to run, play and discover, without getting in each other's way. No swimming pool to watch over, just endless space. Always well-maintained.

• Football field, volleyball net and pétanque lane — plenty of choice for all ages, without bringing anything.
• Hidden spots throughout the garden — children always discover something new. Building dens, hide and seek, treasure hunts.
• 3 large benches and 10 professional sun loungers with side tables — adults relax while the children play. Everyone in sight.
• Terrace between house and garden with 2 barbecues — the perfect transition between inside and outside. Aperitifs with the group while the children keep playing.

The place where teenagers put down their phones and adults become twelve again. A separate building with space to play without disturbing the rest of the house — or being disturbed. Ideal for a rainy afternoon or a tournament after dinner.

• Professional pool table — the centrepiece of every evening. Expect heated debates about house rules.
• Table football — for the competitive matches between generations. Grandparents vs. grandchildren is a classic.
• Extensive board game collection — from quick card games to long strategic evenings. Something for every group.
• Retro gaming — for enthusiasts who want to drift back to the '80s and '90s.

The former horse stable, once home to draught horses, is now a play paradise for the very young. Covered, safe and right next to the house — toddlers and young children entertain themselves here for hours while parents enjoy coffee on the terrace.

• Go-karts and pedal cars — doing laps on the tarmac at the front of the farmhouse. Guaranteed the first thing they want to do every morning.
• Pedal cars and tractors — for the little builders and farmers in training. Sturdy toys that can take a beating.
• Tricycles for the little ones — even the youngest join in. No child gets bored here.
• Chalk drawing and free play — the farmhouse courtyard is one big canvas. Nothing to bring, everything is there.
