Hôtel-Restaurant Carpe Diem

Carpe Diem is not a hotel, so don't expect a glossy reception area with personnel on standby. We chose this b&b because of its remote location (in the heart of the Ardennes), which is in fact a very pleasant and scenic 40 min drive from Liege. We arrived on a Wed night, the owner saw us coming through the restaurant window and he quickly opened the b&b door for us. We stayed on the first floor overlooking the village square. The room is clean and modern, with simple furnishings and a comfortable large bed. The bathroom had a separate toilet, a large bath and all the necessary amenities. We went down tot the restaurant for dinner and we had a great 3 course meal. The breakfast next morning is very French: fresh bread and croissants, juice, ham and cheese, coffee and tea. Again, not a hotel so there's no buffet with many choices. I'm sure that if you have specific dietary wishes they will take that into account. We thought this b&b was great value for money (€85 for 1 night). Be aware that you're in the French part of Belgium, so it's handy if you at least understand French.
