Your dedicated hosts make the difference

Hello! We are Hans and Brenda Bogaard. As your dedicated hosts, we are living out our dreams at De Ruigenhof. Our vision got its start decades ago when we spent every holiday at characteristic residences all over Europe. All those B&Bs, country houses, and residences inspired us to establish and run our own authentic location. Our search led us to Sint-Jansklooster in 2008. We instantly fell in love with the potential of this once-dilapidated farmhouse and grounds. It took us over six years to renovate everything. As you walk in, the time, attention, and love we put in is evident to the last detail.
