We provide accommodation in a stylish guesthouse located at Ypres in Belgium. Camalou build in the 19th century is one of the few properties from the Ypres Salient who survived the destruction caused by the Great War. Your host Annette, official guide for Ypres and the battlefield tours, will be glad to advice for the visit of the Ypres Salient, the visit to the museum In Flanders Fields or the ceremony of the Last Post at the Menin gate. And from our guesthouse it is only 35 minutes driving to Bruges, Gent,
Fromelles or Lille and in less than an hour are the battlefields of Vimy Ridge
and Arras. The Somme is just one and half hour from Ypres.

I am just writing to say how much my wife and I enjoyed our recent stay with you in Ypres. Your knowledge of the Great War, and the Ypres battlefield in particular, way exceeded our reading of the subject. Your intimate knowledge of the battlefield, especially as one who has lived her entire life where these tragic events occurred, was very much appreciated. We also felt honored to have you as our guide and felt privileged to have been taken to so many places where normal visitors never get a chance to see.
We would also like to say a big 'thank you' for your superb hospitality. Your guest house at 'Camalou' was everything we hoped for. The en-suite rooms were spotlessly clean and tastily decorated. It's clear that you have spent a lot of time in their design and furnishing. Your hospitality in other ways (having free internet access for your guests!) was also very much appreciated, not to mention the welcoming beer on our arrival. We never appreciated that 'Camalou' served as a Brigade HQ in the Great War and we were fascinated by the pictures you showed us of how your garden looked all those years ago!
We both wish you every success in providing such an interesting alternative to the usual run-of-the-mill B+B one finds (as well run as I'm sure they are...). 'Camalou' is something special and I have no hesitation in recommending your excellent accommodation to others visiting the battlefields, or indeed anyone just wanting to visit the lovely countryside around your part of Belgium.
James
