B&B Jadis et Naguère
Shabby-chic rooms in a redbrick B&B
About this hotel
B&B Jadis et Naguère, whose name translates roughly to once and now, pairs genteel redbrick architecture with a shabby-chic interior style, plus a terrace and gardens for warmer evenings. With 59 reviews on record, it has built a reasonable following among families and couples passing through the Hesbaye countryside, drawn by a look and feel that leans more considered and characterful than a standard hotel room. The gardens give the property outdoor space many town-centre stays around Hannut cannot match. That single fact shapes how the whole stay should be planned around the park visit. It is a small detail, but one that changes how the rest of the day tends to unfold for a family with kids in tow.

Our take
Families who appreciate a considered, shabby-chic interior and a proper garden to sit in will find real value here beyond just a place to sleep before Plopsaqua. It is a B&B rather than a full-service hotel, so families wanting a restaurant on site or extensive facilities should compare it against the more hotel-style properties on this list before booking.
- ✓Ask about garden and terrace access times, especially with children who will want space to run before or after the park.
- ✓Book ahead for warmer months, when the terrace and gardens are the property's biggest draw for families.
- ✓Confirm breakfast arrangements directly, since B&B offerings can vary in scale from a simple spread to a fuller sit-down meal.

Why guests love itThe garden was the real win for our family, giving the kids somewhere to run around before dinner after a day spent mostly standing in line at Plopsaqua. The room itself had a nice, lived-in charm rather than the sterile feel of a chain hotel, which suited us fine for a couple of nights. It is a B&B, so do not expect hotel-scale facilities, but for what it is, it delivered.
