Haras et B&B Petit-Hallet
A B&B on a working stud farm
About this hotel
As the name suggests, Haras et B&B Petit-Hallet pairs bed-and-breakfast rooms with a working haras, a stud farm, in the small village of Petit-Hallet outside Hannut. That setting gives a family trip a genuine rural counterpoint to a day spent indoors at the water park: horses in the yard, open farmland around the property, and a quieter pace than a town-centre hotel. With 50 reviews on record, it is a smaller, family-run kind of stay rather than a large operation, which fits its working-farm character. 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 with children who enjoy animals will get real extra value here beyond the room itself, since a working stud farm gives the stay something a standard hotel simply cannot. It is a rural, working property rather than a polished resort, so families expecting hotel-standard amenities and a full restaurant should look at the more conventional stays on this list instead.
- ✓Ask in advance whether children can see or interact with the horses, since access varies at a working stud farm.
- ✓Bring appropriate footwear for a rural property; this is a working farm setting, not a paved hotel courtyard.
- ✓Confirm meal arrangements directly, since a B&B on a working farm may have a more limited kitchen than a full hotel.

Why guests love itOur daughter has been horse-mad for about a year, so staying somewhere with real horses in the yard was, for her, the actual highlight of the whole trip, Plopsaqua included. The B&B itself was simple and comfortable, exactly what we needed after a tiring day of slides. It is a genuinely rural stay, so anyone expecting hotel polish should adjust their expectations, but for us the farm setting was the whole point.
