Hortensia is a B&B in the city of Ypres, a few minutes from the city ramparts at the Lille gate. I have stayed in a number of Ypres B&Bs and hotels, and while they were all satisfactory, I found Hortensia to be excellent in all respects. The owner, Andre Parys, is exceptionally friendly and helpful, offering bike rental, storage for motorbikes and bikes and insider knowledge of the area. The rooms are spacious and spotless and the breakfasts excellent. Hortensia is located near the Lille gate, which means you can have yourself a nice walk on the city ramparts to the Menin gate ceremony and any one of the nice restaurants and tea rooms in town. Parking is plentiful nearby. Value for money is excellent at just over 60 euros for a two-person room. I plan to return here whenever I come back to Ypres.

Stay at the Albion hotel, close to the Menin Gate. Stylish, friendly, good value; easy walking distance to the centre.

Eat at the De Stoove. A 100-yard walk off the tourist centre behind the cathedral rewards you with good food, a classy environment and personal attention.

Take the battlefield tour with Salient. A young vibrant guide gives an informative and moving trip.

Albion Hotel is in St Jacobsstraat.
De Stoove is Surmont de Volsbergestraat.
Salient Tours are on Meenestraat near the Menin Gate.

A hotel and restaurant on Ieper's main square. Old Tom offers decent accommodation at an attractive price, and the restaurant does some of the best (traditional Flemish) food in town. Convenient for the local attractions, and the welcome is friendly.
