Camalou at Ypres provides high standard accommodation and a good  breakfast buffet with local delicacies.

One wing of the house has been transformed to provide accommodation to our visitor's who come from all over the world. Most of them come to visit the battlefields from the Ypres Salient.

The three guest bedrooms were the focus of my careful and painstaking attention to detail. My background in design and architecture provided the inspiration for the three en-suite rooms. Each one tastefully decorated using a careful combination of colors, fabrics and furniture of the highest quality. I have named each room after a flower drawn from some of the most poignant poetry of the Great War. All rooms have en-suite shower and toilet, as well as TV (including English channels). 

We provide more than just accommodation, in the lounge we have:

  • Microwave and fridge.

  • Trench maps and books. 

  • Computer online (fast connection) free to use.

  • Possibility to rent a bike: 7euro per day.

  • Restaurant Tommies on walking distance

"Poppies" Room

Named after the famous poem from John McCrae:
written in Essex Farm North of Ypres

In Flanders Fields

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

"Roses" Room

Named after the famous song written by Fred Weatherley:

Roses of Picardy

Roses are shining in Picardy,
In the hush of the silvery dew.
Roses are flow'ring in Picardy,
But there's never a rose like you!
And the roses will die with the summertime,
And our roads may be far apart,
But there's one rose that dies not in Picardy!
Tis the rose that I keep in my heart!

"Violets" Room

Named after a poem from Roland Leighton to his fiancée Vera Britten Written in Ploegsteert (south of Ypres)

Violets from Oversea

Violets from Plug Street Wood,
Sweet, I send you oversea.
(It is strange they should be blue,
Blue, when his soaked blood was red,
For they grew around his head;
It is strange they should be blue.
