Excited to share our passions for cooking, hospitality and all the unique experiences Hallerbos B&B, Pajottenland and the Zenne Valley have to offer!

From the moment you walk into the front garden of Hallerbos B&B, its cabin/cottage coziness envelops you and you feel at ease. The view out of your room over the magnificent 622-hectare Bluebell Forest literally takes your breath away. And you feel home. Our family takes life easily and goes with the flow. We share our life around our table, savouring cooking, eating, drinking and our blessings. Outside, mother nature does her magic and realigns your mind, body and spirit. Beyond the B&B and the Bluebell Forest, there are unforgettable experiences awaiting you in Halle, Pajottenland and the Zenne Valley. We operate using two core concepts: - We want our guests to have great experiences from the moment they walk into the front garden of Hallerbos B&B until the moment they leave us. - And we want those experiences to be made by nature, home-made or locally-made and environmentally sustainable. We are also happy to host both your personal celebrations (from reunions to communions) and work events and meetings (including team meetings, negotiations and retreats) at Hallerbos B&B. The perfect place for a staycation! Four star accredited by Flemish Government's Tourism Office
