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.

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.

Benoit, the owner, and chairman of the Last Post Association, is a fantastic host. There are various options with the house. We stayed in the larger house and had the whole house, sleeping up to 8 (3 doubles and a twin). It is nicely decorated and there is a small terrace out the back. The Menin Gate is just over the road. The coach parties drop off and park opposite but it wasn't too disturbing. Easy parking on the road and there are bars, shops and restaurants in walking distance. Overall, this is a fantastic place to stay.
