Above sentence says it all. Though I must add it as one of the best all-round hotels I've ever stayed in.

It's about time I updated my review on the Hotel Le Foch. This place is still lovely. €103 for half board remains fantastice value, even with the £ being at rock bottom. The food is very good, and the service and welcome as charming as ever. Nathalie and Luke are great hosts, and I have been back about half a dozen times over about the same number of years.

Rooms are roomy, and airy, and most of them overlook the square. Beds are comfy. Breakfasts are good. The nicest thing about the place is how welcome one is made. I'm prepared to run the risk of not getting in the next time I try and book in order to inform the Tripadvisor community that this remains a smashing little hotel in what must be the best loction in the whole departement.

Worryingly, The Kerelshof, a wonderful bar a few doors down remains closed. I saw the Patron, a bear of a man, resembling Gerard Depardieu's handsome younger brother, working on the interior, and he hopes to be open for the Easter Carnival. Fingers crossed. We had a drink at the Kasteelhof up the hill, by the windmill. It is worth checking out for its ambience- photos attached. I'd eschew eating there in favour of half board at the Foch, however.

If you're planning a stay in this part of France this hotel / restaurant is a perfect place to stay. If you're looking for luxury then the expensive Hotel Schoebeque opposite is probably more for you. If you're looking for a lovely french hotel with a really warm welcome, great food and big rooms that overlook the town square then Le Foch should most definitely be your choice (we stayed in Room 1). So much so that I debated posting a review just in case lots of people decide to book and I couldn't get in next time I wanted to stay! We travel a lot in France and this hotel is typical of what makes that experience so great - little gems in every village.
The chef is the owner along with his wife Nathalie who looks after you from the minute you arrive.
We wanted to attend the 8pm ceremony at the Menin Gate (30mins away) so we asked to have dinner at 9pm - this was no problem and when we were 10 minutes late there was no problem and no rushing us through our meal - a meal that was perfect, simple and beautifully cooked.
Half board was 103 euros for the two of us - fantastic value that didn't mean skimping on quality.
We're definitely going back and taking friends and family with us!

The rooms are very pleasant, roomy and bright but the food was very disappointing - restaurant had pretentious atmosphere but the food was very mediocre.
