A fabulous house split into two apartments, with shared access. We stayed in the lower apartment comprising lounge, dining room and kitchen, with access to a beautiful pared down outside terrace with table for breakfast or dinner (Churchill Duplex apartment). On the first floor there were two bedrooms, with the master bedroom at the front having an ensuite bathroom. Fantastic views across to the Menin Gate opposite. The Menin Gate is floodlight at night, so a little light does filter past the sides of the blinds so be aware if you want to have a completely dark bedroom-but what a view!
Visiting coaches park opposite but only for a few hours each evening prior to the Last Post, and they are gone straight afterwards.
The house is stuffed with artifacts and pictures relating to the Great War and the Menin Gate, so you have your own little museum!
A 10 minute walk through the Menin Gate gets you to the centre of Ypres with shops, bars and restaurants. We really liked Ypres, with quality shopping and a very relaxed atmosphere. Obviously, in terms of sightseeing and visiting areas relating to the Great War, you are close to many things.
Short term parking outside the house is possible, with free parking 5 minutes up the road, a short walk away.
I would highly recommend Menin Gate House, and indeed plan on taking my elderly father to stay there next year for a long weekend.
