B&B 't Pomphuys
A converted pumphouse with real character
About this hotel
B&B 't Pomphuys takes its name from its past as a pumphouse, adding a bit of industrial heritage to the mix of converted farms, mills and parsonages found across this Hannut-Landen countryside list. With 11 reviews so far, it is a smaller, more intimate stay, the kind of B&B where a converted building gives the overnight a genuine sense of place rather than a generic room. It suits families who enjoy the story behind a building as much as the comfort of the stay itself. 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.
- Converted pumphouse
- Industrial heritage
- Small, personal B&B
- Countryside setting
Our take
This works well for families who like a bit of local industrial history alongside their countryside stay, and who do not need a large-scale hotel's facilities. Given the smaller review history, it is worth reaching out directly to confirm room details before booking, particularly for larger family groups. That single fact shapes how the whole stay should be planned around the park visit.
- ✓Contact the property directly to confirm current room availability, given its smaller size and review history.
- ✓Ask the hosts about the pumphouse's original use if the building's history interests your family.
- ✓Book ahead for school holiday dates, since smaller B&Bs like this one have fewer rooms overall.

Why guests love itFinding out the building used to be a pumphouse gave our stay a small but genuine talking point over breakfast, a nice contrast to the more generic farm and B&B names nearby. It is a small property, so we did not expect big hotel facilities and did not miss them either. For a family wanting the stay itself to have a bit of local story behind it, this delivered.
