- Please do not play music or make calls on speakerphone in the courtyard.

- Visitors are welcome between 08:00 and 22:00, provided you inform us beforehand. Overnight visitors are only allowed with our permission.

- Please avoid leaving doors or windows open for extended periods. To conserve energy, the climate control system switches off automatically if they are left open too long.

- Dogs must be kept on a lead throughout the grounds and taken off the premises to relieve themselves. They must not cause a nuisance and are not allowed on the furniture. A €150 fine applies if a pet soils the furniture or linen (except for the dog towel of course).

- Under Belgian law, waste must be separated into PMD (plastic packaging, metal packaging and drinks cartons), food and garden waste, paper and cardboard, glass, and general waste. Please sort your waste correctly throughout your stay. Separate bins and a sorting guide with explanations and pictograms are provided in the kitchen.

- When using the oven, please use the aluminium foil provided and remove any grease or food residue afterwards. Please wipe up any spills on the hob promptly to prevent them from burning onto the surface.


**BEFORE CHECK-OUT**

- We do not charge a cleaning fee and expect guests to treat the property with care. Our final clean covers routine cleaning; it does not include washing up, removing burnt-on or dried-on food, or cleaning excessively dirty rooms or toilets.

- Please ensure that all kitchenware you have used is clean, dry and neatly put away. The oven, hob, microwave, fridge and freezer must also be free of food residue, including burnt-on or dried-on food.

- Please place your rubbish and recycling in the appropriate bins in the shed beside the on-site car park. A separate container is provided there for glass.

- Please place used towels in the laundry basket.

- Close all windows and doors and switch off lights and appliances.

- Please make sure to check out by 10:00 unless otherwise agreed.


**OTHER THINGS TO NOTE**

- Our check-out instructions are also provided at the front of the guest information folder in the apartment.

- No security deposit is required. However, if additional cleaning beyond our routine final clean is needed, we will issue an invoice for the extra work. This is charged at €25 per person for each additional hour or part thereof. We clean as a team of two, so the total charge is €50 for each additional hour or part thereof.

- We will also issue an invoice for compensation or applicable charges in the following cases:
* Theft
* Damage to the holiday home or grounds
* Excessive electricity or water consumption
* Littering or leaving dog waste on the grounds, including discarded cigarette butts
* Smoking indoors (€150 fine)
* Soiling of furniture or linen (€150 fine)

- Roadworks continuing until the end of 2027 may cause some disruption during working hours. Most of the work on our part of the street will be done before Christmas 2026. Vehicle access to our courtyard car park should remain possible most of the time. We will inform guests in good time of any closures or diversions. If our car park is temporarily inaccessible, there is ample parking in the surrounding streets.
