Guest Reviews
- McGufficke (10/5): Provided what I needed -
- HermanenTed (8/5): Ieper blijf boeien. De geschiedenis van WO 1 wordt er nog altijd in vrede geleefd. - Het Houten Paard is een kleinschalig B & B in de stad Ieper. Er zijn twee mogelijkheden om gebruik te maken van de enorm goed verzorgde B & B. De ruimste is op de twee verdieping en is prima ingericht. Op de eerste verdieping is een kleinere B & B met weliswaar alle faciliteiten, maar de ruimte is wat beperkt. Het slapen, de ambiance en de enorm hulpvaardigheid van de host zijn geweldige pluspunten.
Voor een paar dagen Ieper en omgeving is Het Houten Paard een aanrader !
- Vancoppenolle (9/5): Perfecte ligging en ontvangst - De ligging: heel dicht bij het centrum, maar toch rustig.
De service van de gastheer. Franky stond altijd klaar. Van het bakken van eitjes bij het ontbijt, tot het bezorgen van een paraplu bij regenweer. We zijn heel aangenaam ontvangen. De beperkte ruimte in de badkamer. Maar dit is qua indeling van ruimte niet anders haalbaar denk ik.
- Greet (9/5): Indrukwekkende omgeving, super locatie om te verblijven. Echte aanrader. - Super locatie, de straat uit en je staat midden op het makrtplein van Ieper. Inchecken was heel eenvoudig, ontbijt was prima geregeld.

- Danny (10/5): Top! - De gastheer was héél behulpzaam, we hadden een ruime badkamer en al koffie en thee op de kamer. Bovendien kon je de gastheer alles vragen.
We raden deze accommodatie aan vrienden en familie aan

- sylvia (10/5): - Perfecte locatie, goed bed en vooral goede kussens. Alles was proper, ruim en mooi ingericht. De check-in is een self check-in en wij houden hiervan dus voor ons was dit ideaal. Franky deed 's avonds een babbeltje met ons en was telefonisch zeer bereikbaar. Zeer sympathieke man. Niks op aan te merken

- CMKok (9/5): Amazing host, amazing place to stay - The host is a ver friendly person who makes sure you have a pleasant stay, from explaining the facilities to recommending noteworthy or mentionable sites to visit during your stay. The facilities were clean and everything worked as advertised.
The town of Ypres has a lot of history of the Great War, everywhere you go you shall encounter it. Worth paying a visit. Nothing to note.
- Aleksandr (10/5): - Cozy comfortable place
- Thore (10/5): - Heel vriendelijke ontvangst in een heel nette en mooie kamer. Alles aanwezig en in orde. Ook de locatie was zeer rustig en toch op wandelafstand van het centrum en alles voor eten en beleving. Zeker een aanrader. Niets
- Marion (10/5): Heerlijke B&B. Zoek niet verder! ☺ - Zeer vriendelijke ontvangst, parkeren voor de deur. Onze fietsen mochten in de garage achter gesloten deur en we hadden daarvan de sleutel. De B&B ligt op loopafstand van het centrum van Ieper, in een hele rustige straat. De kamer is ruim, met een goed bed en heerlijke douche. De ontbijtruimte heeft een koelkast waarvan gebruik gemaakt mag worden. Er staat een Nespresso koffiemachine, een waterkoker en servies. Alles zeer proper. Ook op de kamer is ook een waterkoker. Wij hebben genoten van ons verblijf! Niks, voor ons was alles perfect.
- Vera (9/5): Zeer aangenaam verblijf - De gastheer is zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam. De ligging is rustig en toch heel dichtbij het centrum. Parkeren kan zeer dichtbij voor 2 euro per dag. Het is echt een aanrader.
- Heinrich (10/5): In the Heart of Ypres - Amazing place situated in the heart of Ypres. You can explore everything easily from there and just grab a bicycle to see the battlefields. Franky,the host is truly a super host. He ensures everything you need is there and more. Truly an awesome spot!
- Christine (10/5): Very stylish, comfortable room and house 10-minute walk from the Grote Market with a super host. - The host was just the best. Was there to welcome me, even though I was late due to Calais port strike and helped me with so much information. On street parking great. Nothing was too much trouble. Felt so much at home. Will definitely go back. Breakfast offered was expensive at 18 euros, so glad I took my own. Plentiful tea, coffee etc and great little kitchenette though just outside my room in which to prepare and eat.

The host Franky is very kind and friendly. Though the bathroom is a bit small but it still got sufficient space for putting things and hanging towels and clothes

- Rudolf (9/5): Great location. Great host. Great facilities. - Everything
- Glyn (10/5): Superb B&B in Ieper - This is one of the best B&Bs that I have stayed in. The host, Franky, is very helpful and so flexible with all your needs. The traditional house is finished beautifully and the mini-kitchen facility with drinks and fridge is a real bonus.
- Erica (10/5): Clean, great host & 10 mins from menin gate - Franky was mint. Couldn't do enough for us. My wife was ill & he offered to get medicine & to cook for her! Spotless room, spacious, small things like face clothes and a kitchen area (aside from our room) to eat takeaway. Quiet location but still only a 10 minute stroll to menin gate. Clean, modern and accessible. Super comfy bed, great orthopedic pillows with AC and heating! If we came back to Ieper, we'd stay in this place again, no doubt! Can't think of anything.
- Keith (10/5): Fantastic!! - Franky is a top host for whom nothing is too much. Indeed, he goes above and beyond and deserves a 5 star rating. Thanks a million, Franky, for making our stay unbelievably pleasant. Nothing at all.
- Sudha (10/5): I give it a ten on ten - One of the best B & B’s anywhere in the world. Nothing

Expect some stairs to climb...
- Christian (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mike (10/5): Very friendly and helpful host. Lovely rooms - Lovely accommodation Absolutely nothing
- Brian (10/5): Exceptional - Location was only 10 minute walk to main square. Owner was friendly and very informative. Room was spotless. Liked everything. Would definitely book again
- Kath (10/5): We felt very lucky to find such wonderful accommodation - The hotel was ideally located for our road trip exploring the Battlefields. The room was of an exceptionally high standard, with no faults whatsoever. Ample parking was available nearby, and the property was easy to find. The owner was extremely helpful and provided a fresh breakfast each morning. The property was within walking distance of the town center, which offered an excellent selection of restaurants and bars, and Menin Gate was also conveniently close by. Could not fault anything 😊
- Philip (9/5): A splendid place that we recommend and would use again. - Appears to be a new business, still getting the breakfast arrangements sorted out, so drinks were available but no food on the days that we were there. Not a big issue for us, we could easily deal with it.
Everything else was excellent. A good location, parking easily available, room clean, comfortable, very good facilities. I would definitely recommend this place. As above, breakfast arrangements need sorting out, then the whole experience will be excellent. There was nothing that would put us off using Het Houten Paard again.
- David (9/5): Franky is an excellent host, lots of great advice and communication before arrival. - Great location, good secure parking for motorcycles 1 min walk from property.
- Stephen (8/5): Very good -
- Laura (9/5): A really great find - It's a lovely, light, airy clean room in a great location 10 minutes walk from the town centre. We were able to store our motorbikes in the garage. We arrived dripping wet in our motorbike gear and Franky didn't bat an eyelid. Franky is really friendly and welcoming and we'd already recommended the B&B to somebody else even before we arrived home! The listing refers to breakfast but there was no mention of that from Franky.
- Drew (10/5): Exceptional -
- Martin (10/5): Clean, very comfortable bed and very friendly - An outstanding place and Franky was extremely friendly. He allowed me to keep my Motorbike in his private garage. I did not have breakfast, however I have no doubt that it would of been first class
- Jennie (9/5): Franky the owner was very helpful, perfect place for a two night break - Very central to the main square in Ypres. Lovely traditional building, sympathetically furnished, great shower, tea and coffee making facilities which is always a bonus.

Perfect information prior to arrival made everything smooth.

10/10
- Gwilym (10/5): Exceptional - Location,cleanliness, great breakfast. Great value for money.
- Kevin (10/5): Fabulous small B&B - A super small B&B. Exceptionally friendly host who did everything to make our stay a great one.
The rooms are lovely and comfortable and breakfast is delicious with fresh bread bought each day. Quite a few stairs to access rooms
- Esther (7/5): Would definitely stay again, great bolt hole for exploring the Battlefields around Ypres - Great location in Ypres, very clean, bins emptied, cups washed and bathroom cleaned daily. Very friendly and welcoming host (Frankie). Good parking - cheapest in Ypres! Not B&B as advertised, no fridge in room and some other facilities advertised on site are missing/not offered. No fridge was a bit of an issue as we had mostly self catered during trip.
- Jan (10/5): Great Value and Very Centrally Located! - This is a lovely B&B, centrally located in Ieper - only 10 minutes walk from downtown and the Menin Gate. Parking available. The room is very well appointed, the bed is comfy, and the air conditioning works! We did not include breakfast in our stay so I can’t comment on that. Everything is very clean and neat! There is a narrow staircase to negotiate, but we had no trouble. Franky is a wonderful host, who was available to help with restaurant suggestions and sightseeing options. Ieper is a beautiful city that is well worth a visit!
- White (9/5): Superb -
- Timmermans (10/5): Little gem in Ypres! - Amazing place! Very personal and cosy atmosphere. Spotless clean rooms. Air-conditioned. Would heartily recommend it. That I couldn't stay longer.
- Jenny (10/5): Great time - Great place, location was good. Quiet but within walging distance of everything, including the free parking. Friendly owner. Breakfast was simple but nice The stairs are very narrow. No problem for me but could be difficult with bug luggage
- Phil (10/5): Great Place - The owner of the property, absolutely top man he was not in your face but he was there if you needed anything, nothing was too much trouble. We arrived on two motorcycles he let us store them in his garage. Location was just a ten minute walk to the center property was spotlessly clean, this was the first place in two weeks that had tea and coffee making facilities in the room. Breakfast was very good. For us nothing really we are in our mid sixty's and active but someone that isn't may have problems with the stairs as they were quite steep.
- Jo (9/5): Superb - Stylish interior design. very friendly and helpful host.
