This is a simply superb B&B just east of Ypres, near Tyne Cot military cemetery. The rooms are clean comfortable and nicely appointed, and the entire site is very tidy and well presented. Barbara and Dirk speak excellent English and on-line booking was simple. There is undercover storage for motorcycles, in the barn that also houses a collection of war... More
