What a wonderfull weekend we had in this beautiful house.
We could enjoy the swimming pool and do nice walks in the forest nearby.

It's important to know that THERE ARE NEW OWNERS since 2019! It's a lovely family that will welcome you. 
They lended us chairs and babybeds for our kids because we forgot ours.

Great weekend in a beautiful and calm place !  + new owners !

This bed and breakfast was great. The location on top of the Ardennes overlooking the Meuse valley, the forest environment, the authentic buildings, the high quality execution and last but not least the friendly reception by the hosts the Crespeigne family. If you are lucky you can convince Alain to take you for a walk and tell about his passion for nature. He is an expert bird watcher.

Great place in the middle of nowhere

We stayed in La Ferme de l' Airbois for 3 days. We really enjoyed the house which is located in a very beautiful setting. The view from the house is stunning. The hospitality of the hosts was excellent. The high quality breakfast  consisted of a variety of home made products (crepes, jam, yogourt, etc...). The house was very clean and very nicely decorated.In addition,the hosts are very pleasant and provided us with very good tips about the region and its vast cultural heritage which can not be found in the tourist guides. Overall, we enjoyed very much our stay and we would strongly recommend this B&B to anyone looking for a relaxing vacation in the Belgium countryside.

Fabulous week end

We spent three nights here over Easter 2013. The buildings are beautiful and in a pretty setting with lovely views. The property is a bit 'off the beaten track' and up a relatively steep unmade road - worth considering if you are a nervous driver after dark!

We stayed in one of the rooms in the main house ('the barn') and given a choice chose the room with an ensuite bathroom. If you are averse to walking a short distance along the hallway to access a private bathroom and toilet, it is worth requesting the other room when you book.

No problems with the room, bed or bathroom.

Breakfast was good, with homemade pancakes, cheese, jams, boiled eggs on request), homemade yoghurt and bread.

We had dinner in the house one night with another couple staying: if meeting new people is your thing, you'll enjoy this opportunity. Likewise, the hosts are very friendly so be prepared for a few chats! This is not a B&B for people who don't want any human contact.

The meal was good, though not exceptional, but if you have more than one night in the region it is a convivial alternative to driving to one of the nearby villages for dinner.

If you like dogs, you will enjoy the company of the hosts' two border collies and cat, though if you are not keen on animals inside the house (including kitchen and dining room) you may wish to look elsewhere. These are very friendly dogs!

Overall, La Ferme de l'Airbois comes recommended. This property has been a labour of love for the hosts and it really shows in their warm hospitality.

An out-of-the-way gem

We didn’t have hot water the whole weekend. The problem couldn’t be fixed neither the owner could offer some kind of solution.  We had to insist to get a compensation. Finally we didn’t have to pay the extra costs (tax, cleaning) what was a total of less than 10% of the complete amount. In my opinion, this is not a correct compensation. As mentioned in other reviews the owner is not the most agreeable, easygoing person you will meet. It’s a nice house and a great location and we had a great time in Airbois but next time we’ll search elsewhere for our holidays.

No hot water, unhospitable owner.

I rented the 2 cottages and a B&B room for one week in August, for a total capacity of 28 people.  The cottages and rooms are spacious and beautiful, in the middle of a natural reserve, therefore very quiet and peaceful.
In general our guests found the place welcoming and charming, but our guests did not have to deal with the owner and his wife who happened to be tricky neighbours.  Upon arrival the place was cold and many kitchen utensils were dirty (we were told the cleaners were off sick or depressed! not acceptable for this standard and price).  I had to go to the local store and buy all basic cleaning products and sponges (the ones there were full of food and disgusting).  The owner told us we could not use his wood since he kept it for himself for the winter, and the heating was not working during the summer.  My wife, my parents and I found ourselves cleaning the place till 1am, with blankets on our shoulders, before our guests start arriving the day after.
One morning some cows were pasturing in the nearby pasture, which we all found amusing (they were very close to the cottage).  The owner came to me and accused me of having opened the gate and let the cows all over the place.  After much threat and unpleasant discussions (he even yelled at furiously me in front of my guests), I was obliged to clean up the cow poohs all over his garden to avoid him charging me huge amounts as compensation to clean his garden.  I cleaned up the garden with my dad the day before my wedding, which was not a pleasant experience, especially given that I had nothing to do with this.
Finally, the rental cost is in itself reasonable, but there are numerous hidden costs and long list of add-ons.  After adding utilities, taxes, towel and sheet rental, etc this adds up to another 30-35% of rental cost, be mindful of that.
So in summary I would say a beautiful place, but one that would be so much more pleasant without the owners.  The B&B are great and much less work, but the cottages are tricky if you come from abroad (you need to buy everything, such as salt, oil... if you want to cook once). And for me personally who paid for all this, not a place I would recommend as all these unpleasant and aggressive discussions ruined my wedding week.
