Eine Stadt am Fuss der westflämischen Hügelgegend, eine knappe halbe Stunde Fahrt zur Belgischen Küste mit ihren breiten Sandstränden. Auch eine halbe Stunde vom lebendigen Lille (Frankreich) und nur eine Stunde entfernt von anderen Juwelen wie Brügge und Gent. Ein gastfreundliches Paradies in der St. Jakobstrasse für den Pilger nach Compostela und genauso für den Geniesser; ein stilvoller und gemütlicher Kokon für den Dichter und seinen Leser, für den Wanderer und den Radfahrer gleichermassen: das Albion Hotel zu Ypern.

Het Midden van de Wereld, a warm and caring bed & breakfast among the lowland meadows between the river IJzer and the North Sea...where quiet reigns...

"Menin Gate House" is a charming holiday built in 1923 and completely renovated in 2011. It is the ideal base to explore Ypres and Flanders Fields. Staying in the house is a unique experience. One could not stay any closer to the Menin Gate. Notes of the daily Last Post Ceremony carryinto the beautifull rooms and bring you in the atmosphere of World War 1.

This B&B is set in a former rectory building in the quaint village of Merkem, surrounded by extensive bicycle trails. It features a large backyard garden and classic decorated accommodation.

All 3 rooms at B&B Pastorie van Merkem have characteristic decorations such as wooden ceiling beams and hard-wooden flooring. They are equipped with a flat-screen TV, box-spring beds and a private bathroom.

Every morning, B&B Pastorie van Merkem serves an extensive breakfast with regional products in the lounge or on the terrace when sunny. There is also an honesty bar with a variety of Belgian ales.

The Saint Sixtus abbey is 11 km away from the B&B. Ieper’s historical centre is 14 km by from B&B Pastorie van Merkem.

Our accommodation is located near the beautiful city of Ypres, in the middle of historical sites of World War I, but also in one of the quietest places in Flanders.

 

Golfclub De Palingbeek and other ones in France (Bondues, Lille), are only 10- 20 miles away.       

Lille, the capital of French Flanders, is really nearby. 

The Somme, battle area of the First World War, can be visited from here!

 

Fields, hills and woods surround us.: Mount Kemmel, Bois du Gheer at Ploegsteert and the French border are only a few miles away from our farm. 

 

This is the ideal place for biking, walking, golfing or horse riding. 

 

The 'Ice Mountain' (indoor skiing) in Comines is only a 10 minutes drive
