Hotel De Ruwenberg, Hertogenbosch

• Back to nature: Dating back to the 14th century and surrounded by emerald lawns, Hotel De Ruwenberg is a grand hotel in the Dutch countryside. This Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice 2020-awardee is steeped in sport and wellness, with an indoor pool, sauna, running track and tennis courts for friendly competitions.

• Local dishes with regional produce: The hotel proudly supports local businesses by sourcing all ingredients from within a 300-mile radius. The restaurant itself is a casual setting, with plenty of light streaming in through the windows; in warmer weather, you can dine al fresco on the sun terrace. Come evening time, unwind with a glass of wine or local beer, where the fireplace spreads cosy warmth on cooler days.

• Stay active or wind down: It isn’t just the facilities that will help you relax here; while the swimming pool, sauna, fitness centre and courts will release those endorphins, you’ll also have the lush landscapes to stroll through in your spare time. The hotel is also home to a three-hole driving range for you to practice your swing.
