Hôtel Five Nations

Yesterday's weather was miserable but the site was impressive anyway, esp. for golf players (which we are not). Beautiful nature all around, manicured gardens, elegantly repurposed old farm buildings, inviting bar and restaurant, impressive seminar facilities, simple but cozy and functional rooms, comfortable beds, impeccable cleanliness. A bit on the expensive side for the rooms but keeping up everything around them is surely not cheap. Only observations: 1. The place was difficult to find. Of course Google maps, Booking, etc. know about it and the address is advertised everywhere. However that address was unknown even to our (upper-class) car's GPS, when I programmed it by pointing at the place on its map, it steered us first through the service entrance, and the local signage is really too small and not visible enough, esp. in the mist of a dreary afternoon, and confusing as the most visible is a discouraging dead-end road sign. 2. While the room was clean and perfectly 'usable', it suffered from a couple of oversights that room staff should have reported and fixed: one of the ceiling light bulbs did not work; the desk lamp did not work ... until we noticed it had been unplugged behind the desk; more importantly, no matter how hard we tried, one could not shower without water seeping under the door and running over the bathroom floor. Bad design or merely an ill-fitted door?... whatever, not good over the long run.

We really enjoyed our stay at the golfhotel. Our room was comfortable and very clean. Good beds and very quite during the night. Staff is very friendly and the service is good. Also the diner and breakfast was of a good standard! De 18-holes golfcourse is well maintained and a challange for all golfers. A great place were we surely will come back.

Mooie, nette kamers, uitgebreid ontbijt en lekker 3-gangenavondmaal zaten samen met 2 golfflights in een weekendformule. En na het golfen nog een pintje op het schitterende terras. We hebben een heel leuk en aangenaam weekend gehad. Zowel Five Nations als Durbuy zijn heel mooie golfbanen.
