Interested in the opinion of other guests? Have a quick look at the reviews. Ypres (Ieper) is a city at the foot of the West Flemish hill side, half an hour's drive from the sandy beaches in the North and from lively Lille (Rijsel) in France; only one hour away from other gems like Bruges ( Brugge ) and Ghent ( Gent ). The Albion Hotel in St. James' Street (St.-Jacobsstraat) aims to be a hospitable paradise for the pilgrim to Compostela and for the pleasure-lover as well. A cocoon for the poet and the reader, for the hiker and the biker. Discover the delights of the country from these charming surroundings. Your hosts speak Dutch, English, French and do their utter best in Italian and German.

De Loft is located in the centre of historical Veurne, 6 km from the Belgian coast. There is free Wi-Fi and an extensive continental breakfast is served daily. The rooms are spacious and modern. They are equipped with a private bathroom and TV. Family rooms with bunk beds are available. The Loft rents out bicycles so that you can explore the surrounding area. Oostende and Bruges are a 30-minute car drive away.

Brand new small family hotel in Poperinge, opening in May 2009 - central located on the market square of Poperinge

The "Rentmeesterhoeve" is located on the historical site of the former manor of Reninghelst. What remained of the old farm, adjacent to the manor's foundations, has been transformed during 2007 and 2008 into an attractive and comfortable B&B. You'll wake up in the pastoral atmosphere of the inner courtyard and in the reassuring proximity of the Saint Vedast's Church, just as it used to be many centuries ago before the French Revolution.

The "Rentmeesterhoeve" radiates an intimacy imbued with flavors of a long gone past. However, you'll be pleasantly surprised by its modern comfort. Here you'll find at last the peaceful surrounding you've been yearning for so long, while savoring your copious breakfast with a view of the old moat and the village church beyond.

The "Rentmeesterhoeve" is the ideal starting point for many a fine spin on your bicycle, by far the best way to explore the Westhoek, the most western part of Flanders. You'll discover the panoramas of Heuvelland (the hilly country) and the hop-fields. You'll sample the local beers of Poperinge and Westvleteren, or a "picon", the appetizer of the French part of Flanders, over the border nearby... And above all, you're in the heart of Flanders Fields, so dear to the British and Commonwealth people, with its multitude of military cemeteries and monuments and the sacred city of Ypres only 12 km away ; whilst there, don't miss the Peace Museum and the daily moving Last Post ceremony under the Menin Gate.

To make things easy, a network of both cycling and hiking routes (numbered) has been created in this lovely Westhoek area of ours. Our roads are easygoing, but beware, there are also some treacherous slopes. You can map out your own itinerary. And you'll meet appropriate signposts to keep you on the right track. One thing is certain: you'll always find a welcoming cafe to take a "refill", and after your efforts you can be sure, on returning to the "Rentmeesterhoeve", of a refreshing shower awaiting you.

Heritage and history, nature and tranquility, gastronomy and friendship form a bouquet of opportunities to create a little heaven on earth

A basket filled with surprises and a fridge full of tasty refreshing drinks will be welcoming you on your arrival. Moreover, you will find some nice presents, flip-flops for the sauna, some showering products and bed and bath linen in each room.
