Menin Gate House

Menin Gate House is truly a remarkable piece of history. As a family of five, we found it spacious, well-equipped, and incredibly comfortable. The amenities were excellent, and the location couldn’t have been better—just a short walk to the shops and local attractions. It was lovely to prepare meals in the cozy, well-appointed kitchen. We stayed for three nights and easily could have stayed longer. Parking was simple and convenient, right on the street. From the moment we met Benoit, we felt welcomed. He was generous with his time and knowledge, taking the time to explain the history of WWI and why Ypres is such a significant place. His passion made our visit even more meaningful. We’ve made amazing memories at Menin Gate House and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area

As a family of 5, 3 adult sons, we had an amazing time at Menin Gate Houses. We actually stayed in both as decided to spend another night in Ypres so moved into house 2. Cannot fault the accommodation, the location, and especially Benoit, the host. Our stay coincided with a very difficult time for him, yet he was attentive and provided us with an experience at the Last Post ceremony we will never forget.

A fantastic home and host We had the most enjoyable stay in Ypres in this beautiful home. The host was fantastic and so helpful. We were so grateful to be invited to be part of the Menin Gate ceremony marking the 96th year of the sounding of the last post, a memory that will stay with us forever.

Perfectly located and everything in the house is of the highest standard. The historic articles, art and books in the property are unique. Ben was a wonderful host, very knowledgeable of the history of the area and very attentive. So much to see and take in within the town or short drives away. We would definitely come again.

Menin Gate House provided the perfect base of operations for our party of 4 people (2 Couples) to use while we explored the WW1 history of Flanders. Benoit (the owner) greeted us upon arrival and gave us the tour and history of the house. He then took time out of his day to suggest locations that we could visit in our time frame and marked them all on a map, this was a fantastic help. The living room and dining area house some fantastic and interesting artifacts, which add to the charm and character of the house. The house location is perfect to reach the shops, bars, restaurants and markets that Ypres has to offer. We are now planning our 2nd adventure.
