If you're into WW1 military history and you want a really great place to stay local to Ypres, then Talbot house is THE place. Even if you don't stay, it's a must see. The volunteers that look after it (change at intervals) were really friendly, helpful & sat down with us well into the night talking about anything & everything.... More

Staying in this B&B is as going back in the time. With its root in the "Great War" one still can sens a sort of serenity. Not for luxury seekers, it is the history that does it and the management couple is willing to tell you all about it. More

How lucky to be able to stay in the rooms that weary soldiers from WW1 were staying in. The House is a must see place whether or not you stay here. It has wonderful displays and a great atmosphere to soak up. The man at the front desk on the museum side was one of the most interesting and helpful... More

Ideal historic venue to stay if visiting Ypres (leper), being just 11km West. Little changed in nearly 100 years, a must for any history buff/student visiting this area. Breakfast has be booked in advance btw. Showers etc away from rooms, but not busy. Rooms equipped with single basin. Light sleepers should look for room at the rear of the house,... More
