De Beek Anno 1410 Hotel
A stay with roots back to 1410
About this hotel
The name De Beek Anno 1410 points to a building with genuine history behind it, set in the same quiet Hesbaye farmland as the rest of this list's countryside stays. With 74 reviews on record, it is a smaller, more intimate property than some of the larger hotels nearby, which tends to suit families who want a distinctive, older-building setting without the scale or pricing of a full castle stay. It sits in the wider near-waterpark net around Hannut and Landen, reached by a short countryside drive rather than a walk from Plopsaqua Hannut-Landen itself. That single fact shapes how the whole stay should be planned around the park visit.

Our take
Families drawn to a historic building rather than a modern hotel room will find the character here appealing, particularly if the stay is meant to be part of the trip's story rather than just a place to sleep. As with any smaller, older property, it is worth confirming room layouts and family configurations directly before booking, since historic buildings do not always convert neatly into standard modern hotel rooms.
- ✓Confirm room configuration directly with the property if travelling with more than two children, given the historic layout.
- ✓Ask about parking and check-in details ahead of time, since smaller countryside properties can have more limited reception hours.
- ✓Book early for school holiday dates, when smaller, characterful stays near Hannut tend to fill first.

Why guests love itWe picked this one for the history as much as the location, and it did not disappoint on that front. The building has real character, which our older child found more interesting than we expected for a ten-year-old. It is a smaller property, so do not expect a big lobby or lots of staff around, but for a one-night stop before Plopsaqua it gave the trip a bit more personality than a standard room would have.
