Accommodation.
Belsud. www.belsud.com/
We have booked many times with Belsud. They have always been incredibly organised and we will continue to use them. We have normally stayed in Belgium for at least a week, often 2 and use self catering accommodation. It's very cheap for what you get and there is a huge variety. We go for places in the middle of nowhere for the quiet countryside but there are also lots of places in towns to stay.

Fun family park with woodland as a theme. Lots of things to climb, a maze, discover etc.
