Jane Austen Lake Retreat


Step into a scene straight from a classic novel at this vintage-style holiday home in Dugny-sur-Meuse, where the spirit of Jane Eyre and Jane Austen seems to linger in the air. Surrounded by lush greenery, grey moors, and views of the vast lake, this spacious retreat is perfect for large families with children. Just 100 m away, enjoy horse riding at Le Cheval Dunois, or stroll to nearby restaurants and supermarkets for fine dining and local provisions. Lac Vert Plage Ă  Doulcon (0.6 km) offers camping under the stars, while the Joset Alain monument adds a touch of cultural intrigue. The covered terrace on the first floor, adjacent to the kitchen, is ideal for barbecue evenings, and the lounge set by the water-complete with a small bar-invites you to unwind with an aperitif and good conversation. With Luxembourg Airport just 107 km away, this unclassified gem offers a peaceful, storybook escape in the heart of Lorraine.
This holiday home is one of the Belvilla Award winners in: 2021,2022,2023

Lovely holiday home

Our stay at this beautiful holiday home was great! The terasse had a nice view and was great for relaxing. All rooms were really pretty and the beds were comfy. The house really is something special! The dishwasher was broken, but the host immediately sent someone to fix it, so there was no problem at all. The kitchen was very well equipped and we could really enjoy our time!

Die Sauberkeit der Unterkunft ließ zu WĂŒnschen ĂŒbrig. Den Backofen wollten wir lieber nicht benutzen! Die Kaffeemaschine lief nicht richtig, sodass wir improvisieren mussten. Die ToilettenspĂŒlung lief ewig nach, dementsprechend sieht die Toilette auch aus. Die Heizung klackerte, auch wenn sie aus war. Bei jedem Schritt wackelt das ganze HĂ€uschen. Der gemeinsame Sitzbereich am großen Tisch und der Wohnzimmerbereich mit Kamin sowie der Außenbereich direkt am Wasser ist sehr schön.

Es war sehr schmutzig, es wurde vor unserer Anreise definitiv nicht gereinigt. Toiletten waren ohne Toilettenpapier. Überall waren Spinnenweben und Spinnen zu sehen.

Mooi oud huis, wat sfeer heeft. Wat zou het fijn zijn geweest als het ook schoon was geweest. Bij aankomst flink aan het schoonmaken geweest. Eettafel en stoelen zaten nog helemaal onder de kruimels. Schimmel stond in het deksel van de pedaalemmer. Badkamers en toiletten laten aan hygiëne veel te wensen over. Onderleggers en kussens op de bedden met vlekken. Nog veel stof op nachtkastjes, vensterbanken enz.enz . Te kleine lakens voor de bedden. Dit alles was erg jammer, daar er toch genoeg voor betaald moet worden, naar dit huis zullen we dus ook niet weer gaan. Koelkast was wel schoon. Picknicktafel erg fijn, en veel gebruikt. Zithoek onderste terras heeft dunne kussens, en 2 rotanstoelen zonder kussens die absoluut niet makkelijk zitten. Daarom stoelen uit de huiskamer gepakt, waarvan enkele pootjes erg los zaten. De streek is erg mooi.

Odeurs d’égouts et propretĂ© Ă  revoir!

Fortes odeurs d’égouts dans la cuisine/salle Ă  manger et salon (Insoutenable par moments!) Ampoule de la hotte non fonctionnelle, nous avons dĂ» la changer. Robinet de l’évier de la cuisine entartrĂ©, l’eau ne coulait presque plus. Nous avons dĂ» le dĂ©tartrer nous mĂȘmes pour pouvoir l’utiliser. Toiles d’araignĂ©es dans les chambres, les salles de bain, une poubelle de salle de bain pas vidĂ©e, cheveux sur les lits
 Vraiment dommage car le gĂźte est bien situĂ© et aurait pu ĂȘtre super agrĂ©able s’il avait Ă©tĂ© correctement nettoyĂ© et sans odeurs d’égouts.

Tolles Haus fĂŒr eine Gruppenreise

Das Haus ist super fĂŒr einen Kurztripp mit 3-4 Paaren. Im Ort selbst ist wenig los, es gibt aber einen BĂ€cker und einen kleinen Supermarkt. Als Basis fĂŒr die Erkundung der Umgebung ist das Haus optimal geeignet.
