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

"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.

Manoir Ogygia - a name derived from Greek mythology - has nine rooms (two of which are duplex) on the ground and first floor with a total capacity of 22 guests. The top floor houses a public relaxation area (so even when you are not staying at the hotel, you can use it) equipped with a Jacuzzi, sauna, steam shower, a cosy corner, bar, television, etc. Manoir Ogygia reinforces the offer of luxurious hotel rooms in the Hoppeland and complies with the increasing demand for comfortable, safe and high quality rooms in a unique environment. Some rooms are also accessible to wheelchair users. Ideal for a "Westhoek, sheer wonder" documentary? Or a background report with a perfect mix of relaxation and tourism? An example of the integration of a new hotel in a castle park next to a 19th century château? On reservation, it's possible to have dinner in the castle. There is choice between a 4 course dinner and a six course refined dinner.
