• Lia (9/5): -
• Marcel (9/5): -
• Ine (9/5): Een heel mooi historisch huis op een top locatie. - De locatie van het huis is geweldig. Het is een sfeervol huis met een historische verhaal, uitgebreide faciliteiten en een heel gastvrije host waarvan we inspirerend tips hebben gekregen om Ieper en omgeving te ontdekken. De 2 persoons slaapbank in de woonkamer was niet zo comfortabel. Maar dat was ook het enigste minpuntje.
• Thomas (9/5): Excellent location friendly helpful host - Location, well equipped Stairs quite steep
• Tony (10/5): The house is superb with many important WW1 artefacts. It's location could not be better. - Excellent communications and meeting Ben in person. There was nothing that we didn't like, put simply it was exceptional.
• Stuart (10/5): So good we can’t wait to come back in the future - A perfect location for a tour of the Battlefields of the First World War. An amazing property right next to the Menin Gate and filled with amazing memorabilia from the war. Really skilfully renovated property that we enjoyed spending time in. Ben is a very welcoming host with great knowledge about the war and it was a pleasure to meet him Nothing

• Pascale (9/5): -

• jonathan (10/5): Fantastisch! - Persoonlijke ontvangst door de eigenaar Benoit die uitgebreid de tijd nam om ons rond te leiden in de woning. Leuke verhalen rondom enkele decoratiestukken en het huis, fantastisch. We kwamen aan net voor de last post begon en werden meteen meegenomen door Benoit (die tevens voorzitter is van de last post association) voor een unieke ervaring onder de Menin Gate. Als het ware een vip behandeling met gids. Bedankt voor het geweldige moment!

• martin (10/5): -
• Steve (10/5): - Great place and host set in historic location of great importance.
• Philip.des (10/5): - Een zeer mooi huis op een super locatie naast de menenpoort. Niks
• Alex (10/5): The house and Benoit’s advise on places to go and local knowledge made it a incredible few days that will live very long - Benoit met us at the property, gave us a fantastic tour of the house and all the memorabilia and photos showing it and the Menin Gates history. He also showed us some fantastic places to visit during our stay. The location is incredible, waking up to the sun rising over the Menin Gate, an incredible venue with a brilliant host. We would love to return.
• Simon (10/5): We could not have wished for a better host, Ben freely shared his extensive knowledge and information, and both Ben and - The perfect base location from which to explore all places of interest in the Ypres salient. Located 50 metres from the Menin Gate and 200 metres from the centres many restaurants and bars. You could not wish for a better location in that the property is located some 50 metres from the Menin gate and 150 metres from the centre of Ypres with it’s numerous Restaurants and Bars.. This is an ideal location to use as a base to explore the many other battlefields of The Great War. We visited so many locations during our 2 day stay including The New Irish Farm Cemetary, Tyne Cot Cemetary, Hill 62, Hill 60 and the German Langemark Cemetery and the Christmas truce location. Our host, Ben, the Chairman of the Last Post Committee was an absolute mine of information and his knowledge and information made our visit so memorable and enjoyable. There is nothing to dislike.
• Heidi (9/5): -
• Richard (10/5): - Location and space
• Sarah (10/5): Perfectly positioned historical home - gracious hosts - Benoit met us at the property on arrival. He gave a very comprehensive tour of the property, explained how things worked and about the history of the house, which was amazing. Parking was easy in the surrounding area,as guided by Benoit, and we had no issues in this regard. You could not improve on the view from the house of the Menin Gate in all its majesty. Perfectly positioned for all that Ypres offers in terms of history and restaurants, but very quiet location (at night particularly). This house worked perfectly for us as two families, as we rented the whole property. 2 separate apartments within one house. We were 4 adults and one 16 year old and the space allowed us to eat and socialise together,but have our own space and privacy as separate families as required and at night. This is not a dislike ! The only extra we would have liked was a washing machine as we had a 6 night stay, but we knew before arrival so could plan in advance !
• Joan (9/5): Ruime comfortabele woning op TOP LOCATIE, veel te ontdekken artefacten waardoor je meteen al ondergedompeld wordt in de - De locatie is top ! Ruime woning met ruime slaapkamers.
• Nick (10/5): Fantastic couple of days in Ypres and surrounding areas visiting the cemeteries and historic point of interest. Wonderfu - 2nd time at the property, excellent location for all that Ypres has to offer. Not applicable

• Bobby Baby (10/5): Perfect location, very helpful host, very comfortable stay -

• Jo-Anne (10/5): An unbelievable property to stay with friend or family , I would highly recommend this place to stay - The owner was able to met us at the property and let us in . Ben then showed us all we needed to know
• bas (9/5): - Ligging, authentiek karakter, keuken Viel niet zozeer tegen, maar 1 huis zou natuurlijk leuker zijn
• Gary (10/5): -
• Pat (10/5): Fantastic - This was our second visit. Location is exceptional.. This is such a unique property, it is quirky, homely, interesting as are the proprietors. You couldn't ask for nicer, knowledgeable people, we felt quite privileged when invited to be guests of "Ben" to attend the Last Post ceremony at the Menin Gate. Thank you for everything, we will return. What's not to like
• Audrey (10/5): Really loved our stay with Benoit who was super helpful. - Excellent position, easy parking, very clean. The stairs are very steep with a new knee, but we knew that.
• marc (9/5): -
• Laura (10/5): - Absolutely lovely
• barry (10/5): - So close to the gate, what a fantastic host
• Chantal (9/5): Dit is een toplocatie met een zeer vriendelijke host. - De ligging is fantastisch. De sofa op het 2de verdiep en het dubbel bed op het 3de verdiep is niet afgescheiden door een deur. Dit was ons vooraf niet duidelijk.
• Dieter (10/5): Uniek weekend met de vrienden in een prachtig huis! - Prachtig huis, heel mooi ingericht, alles aanwezig voor een onbezorgd weekend met 8 personen, zeer goede ligging, vlakbij Menenpoort. Onze gastheer, Benoit, nam ons mee als VIP’s naar de Last Post. Unieke ervaring! /

• Kellie (9/5): Superb -
• Hugo (9/5): Lovely property overlooking the Menin gate. Just the best location for staying in Ypres. - Great location. Easy access. Good comms from Benoit. Good spacious rooms for 6 people. Lovely interior design and amazing kitchen diner. We stayed during a hot spell. A fan for each bedroom would have made the evenings more comfortable. Maybe a loo on the top floor would reduce the noise of old men going up and down the stairs to the loo!
• Peter (10/5): Great stay. Good location lovely town - Location and number of beds. Not enough seating in the lounge for everyone
• Graeme (10/5): We will rember this stay for a very long time, for all the right reasons! - What a magical place to stay.

All the facilities were there. Lovely bars, cafes and restaurants within walking distance. Local area steeped with history.
• Nunn (10/5): Exceptional -
• Erin (8/5): Very good - The location of the house and style of it fitted with the history of the area. The owner, Ben, is lovely and very helpful. The amount of beds listed is wrong.
• Suzieh12 (9/5): Old navy friends weekend away - Just arrived home from a wonderful 2 night break with friends in Menin Gate House. I had read the reviews so knew it would be great but we had an even better time than expected. We used the whole house for our enjoyment. Kitchen was well equipt for cooking as we did one evening.

If i am ever in Ypres again, i only want to stay here.

• Antony (9/5): A must for anyone who's interested in Ypres Ww1 history. - The position in relation to the Menin Gate couldn't have been better and we were right on top of shops, bars and restaurants.

• Chris (10/5): One of the best trips of our life. Thankyou Benoit. - Benoit welcomed us to this unique property as we set about researching family history surrounding a Grandfather lost serving with the Wilts Regt in 1915. This properly is perfectly located , atmospheric and an ideal setting for Ypres and Menin Gate and Ypres remembrance tourism. We were made to feel so welcome and the advice we were given was instrumental is unlocking a 110 year old story.

• Etienne (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rodney (9/5): Lovely house in a great location. - Great location as per the name close to the Menin Gate and a short walk to the old centre with restaurants, cafes and the old Cloth Hall/In Flanders Field museum. Our host Ben was very helpful and the house was full of interesting pieces of history. The creaky upper floor added character to the house. I hope to be able to stay there again in the future. The narrow stairs and a heavy suitcase made it interesting, but characterful.
