La Quitapenas was exactly as depicted and described, on a quaint cobbled street with a great view over Ronse. Although we visited in early April, the garden space would be delightful in summer. Felt at home very quickly, lovely comfortable and large beds, an amusing sloping floor on the top floor. Great bathroom. There is an open fire in the lounge and a large log burner in the reception room, neither of which we used as it was warm enough without them, although they were well stocked with kindling and logs. The location was ideal, close enough to town for provisions, but very quiet. Also ideally placed for some excellent, challenging cycling; some of the famous climbs of the Ronde Van Vlaanderen (Tour of Flanders) are close by - but be prepared for some work to reach them first! A short walk from the cottage are some lovely woods and hiking routes and the fabulous Hotond Cafe - a great spot for watching the sunset.
We had a lovely 4 night stay and were sad to leave. The owners live next door and are very welcoming and friendly, with plenty of tips for places to visit. Highly recommended!
