What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
A manor house in the woods outside Nistelrode, The Duke Suites has the bones of an English country estate: checkerboard marble floors, a sweeping oak staircase, crystal chandeliers, and rooms that mix dark mahogany cabinetry with crimson headboards and botanical wallpapers.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
De Maashorst nature reserve wraps around the grounds, with quiet paths winding through mature woodland and heath.
The rooms
Each suite opens onto a terrace over the golf course, with freestanding soaking tubs set against geometric walls.
The spa and gym
A top-floor gym sits beneath tall attic windows, and massage treatments take place under exposed timber rafters.
At the table
The Charles serves seasonal French menus across eight tables, and evening drinks are poured beside a stone fireplace.
How it began
Dutch supermarket founder Karel van Eerd built the manor in 2017, using reclaimed parsonage bricks to evoke an English estate.
