Sorry bud, can't help you with accommodation. I can thoroughly recommend the
Moroccan restaurant in Spa though, make a great Tajina!  :)  Was there 3
years ago, so can't guarantee it's still there...

It was the perfect ending to a perfect day, cycling from Spa over the ridge
and down to Stoumont from the North, going round the town before heading West
past the Sanatorium and doing a great big loop further down the valley, to
come into Cheneux from the West, through and down across the river (past a
Pillbox by the road - not on the map that I recall - does anyone know if the
pillbox is post-WWII?) then up past the station to La Gleize. A quick tour
around the museum in La Gleize (with the King Tiger parked outside), then
back to Stoumont past the little Chapelle St. Anne (it really is tiny!) and a
quick visit to the Chateaux (Peiper's HQ?).

Of course on the bike ride back to Spa I got caught in a torrential downpour,
so drying out over a hearty Moroccan meal was just the ticket to a day full
of wonders and, let's face it, an exceptionally beautiful and above all
peaceful landscape!

Take care and have fun - whichever bit you end up visiting. BTW - there is
also a café at a crossroads just west of Celle with the remains of a Panther
parked outside, not much to look at, but it's not everyday stuff!

Cheers and watch out for those wicked Belgian brews...

Final note: don't forget to bring plenty of umbrellas - whatever the time of
year! The weather can change very quickly, sunny one minute, pouring with
rain the next...
