BELGIUM BEYOND BRUGES

Look beyond the cobbled streets of Bruges and Brussels – worn down by the hordes of day-trippers carrying their carefully packed chocolates and Christmas Shop purchases – for what else Belgium has to offer; from the botanical gardens of Leuven to the architecture of Ghent, it’s a beautiful country to explore. If you’re looking for fine food, historic buildings, and flea markets as good as any French brocante but without the crowds, then look no further. You could even throw in an easy-going heavy-metal concert and a few waffles while you’re there! are dark-walled, with crisp white linen and great lighting, while the main building is a stunning architectural example. If you don’t book a room, make sure you still visit their fantastic cocktail bar, The Cobbler.
