Holiday rentals in Bruges, Belgium

One of the big attractions for UK visitors to Belgium is the chance to sample its iconic beers, and Bruges is a great place in which to do it. Café Rose Red is one of the best bars in the city if you want to sample custom-brewed beer from the region. The other, lesser-known pub to seek out for a really memorable beer tasting experience is 2be Beer Wall. For a trendy party spot, Staminee De Garre, is the place to head for. These venues are all more or less in the central part of the city, so are a safe bet to book Bruges holiday rentals and then you can just walk back when you’ve made a night of it. Huyze Clementine is a wonderfully homely guest house, as is B&B Ryckevelde. If you’re not intending to spend much time indoors and only want something more utilitarian in the centre of Bruges, both Jolie maison Mona and Lhospitalite du Ton make good choices.

Strange as it may seem, one of the most interesting activities that you can partake in on a family holiday is a tour of Bourgogne des Flandres Brewery, as its tours are purposefully kid-friendly. A particularly fun experience awaits children at Historium Brugge. Here they can go on a room-by-room tour as they recreate the history of Belgium themselves using interactive models. And of course no one in the family will be able to resist popping over to Choco-Story – The Chocolate Museum, which celebrates Belgium’s other most famous export: chocolate! For convenient access to these attractions you can stay at holiday rentals in Bruges like Apartment Dijver or The Seahorse. To get out into nature you can take the kids to Minnewater Lake, where they can watch the swans and run around in the expansive playing fields before settling down for a family picnic.

There are several advantages to choosing a holiday rental rather than staying in a large corporate hotel. The first is that you’ll get more personalised and individual attention in a smaller establishment, and in fact at some of these holiday houses you’ll be the only guests at any given time. This will give you exclusive access to all of the facilities on offer, leaving you to enjoy your holiday in peace and quiet, undisturbed by other guests. If you choose to stay in a self-catering apartment you’ll also be able to take a trip to The Markt, which is the central area of Bruges where you can buy local produce. If you’re lucky enough to book in at a family-run establishment, chances are good that you’ll be treated to traditional Belgian home cooking throughout your stay, which will add a whole new dimension of local flavour to your holiday. A smaller guest house establishment is also more likely to have gardens or walking paths, and you’ll benefit from the owners’ local knowledge in getting tips on the city’s best keep secrets worth visiting, rather than just going to all the usual tourist attractions.
