Beautiful house right beside the Menin gate. Perfect location close to the city centre. Ben is a perfect hoist with a wealth of knowledge about the history of the area and the Menin Gate. I would highly recommend staying at this property..

Nothing not to like. A downstairs cloak room would have been useful.

Breakfast not an option. Location was superb. House was different, sort of quirky, we loved it. Hosts lovely, very friendly and helpful.

Benoit met us at the property and showed us round and made sure we were settled in and comfortable. Benoit has so much knowledge and information to pass on to you about the Menin Gate including little bits of history inside the property which was amazing to be sharing it with. Will definitely be going back and can't recommend enough. Thank you Benoit.

From Check In to Check Out everything was absolutely perfect. Extremely well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and a great powerful shower. Ben made our visit that extra bit special by inviting us to attend the Menin Gate Ceremony. A life time memory. Thank you. We home to return soon.

It was a shame the gate was scaffolded and in the middle of renovation works.

Perfect location and house artifacts respected the historic significance of The Menin Gate and Ypres.

Those with mobility problems found the steep narrow staircases difficult to negotiate.

Adjacent to the Menin Gate, the location of the house couldn’t be better for those visiting Ypres in connection with the First World War, from the daily performance of the last post to the In Flanders’s Fields Museum in the Cloth Hall which is a 5 minutes walk away. The central location gives easy access to numerous restaurants and bars. The owner, Mr Benoit Mottrie, was most accommodating and he has filled the house with 1WW memorabilia and his own collection of artefacts connected with his role of Chairman of the Last Post Association.

Menin Gate House is like staying in a little museum with all the comforts of your own home and more. Very friendly host and an excellent location. Too bad the Menin Gate was currently under construction. We would like to come back when it's finished!

Windows needed to be shut at night.

Not really a negative but we had to buy some basics such as toilet roll and hand soap but this was purely to avoid pestering the host. There was no iron or board but Ben kindly dropped one off for us.

Tremendous setting overlooking The Menin Gate. The house itself is a piece of history and the artefacts within give it the feel of staying in a museum. Ben met us on arrival to give us a tour of the house and also assisted in highlighting some key sites on a map. Extremely hospitable and felt like he couldn't do enough for us. Huge house which will sleep at least 8 people with good kitchen and dining facilities and a lovely walled courtyard for Al Fresco dining. The view is world class looking out onto the ramparts and the Gate and you are a 2 min walk from the bars and restaurants of Ypres and yet you would never feel like it as there is little to no noise. Parking is directly outside the front door. Really can't recommend this place enough!

Free parking is available at the end of the street. Approximately 500 meters away.

The location of the property is adjacent to the Menin gate and a short walk into town. Lots of very nice restaurants including Bacon Restaurant- excellent. The house contains lots of interesting photos and items pertaining to The Last Post ceremony. The beds are very comfortable and the towels acceptable. The crowning glory of the property is the host Benoir. He met us at the property and made us feel very welcome. He kindly provided a life changing experience. Thank You

We had such a fantastic stay at the Menin Gate House. Benoit came and met us to explain about places we needed to visit on the Western Front and also invited us a special guests at the Last Post to honour our Kiwi families who had fallen in the War. We were very touched and very grateful. He also suggested fabulous restaurants which we enjoyed immensely. It was located in the best area - right next to Menin Gate, close to the town and near a supermarket. Couldn't fault it. Thank you.

There was nothing to dislike at all.

Excellent location, the house has amazing attention to detail. The owner Ben is the perfect host, very welcoming and attentive, could not have made us more welcome. We had a brilliant holiday and would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in the Menin Gate.

Wow what a fantastic house. You have to stay here to fully understand everything this house has to offer. Friendly, knowledgeable host. It's a shame we didn't stay longer.
