Unforgettable visit to this historic building

The history, you don’t get to stay in a museum often. Being able to see some of the history in the guest area and then visit the exhibition the next day really made it, incredibly moving. Breakfast was great, we ordered the cooked breakfast as an extra (good to have a veggie option) Excellent value for money as well.

Unfortunately there was a mess up with the booking, possibly due to a staff changeover, but we had specifically booked a room in the main building, and got allocated to the garden block, which is also part of the historic building complex. It was too late by then someone else was in our room. That was disappointing because we’d spent ages choosing the room for maximum historic interest. This would have been OK otherwise except, though when we were shown the room it was warm and cosy, we just could not get the heating system to work later in the night (one of those combined A/C & fan ones) and it was arctic outside that night so we somewhat froze. Probably useful to make sure people have instructions. However a good breakfast cheered us up and we reflected it was probably more authentic to experience the temperature that the troops might have done!

Would stay again

Beautiful building, great breakfast and convenient location. I went to Belgium for a World War 1 venture and knowing the building itself being part of that history made the stay so much more interesting. The staff are very welcoming and happy to help with any needs you have.

A perfect place to enjoy peace and quiet in a place of such incredible historical importance

It is a privilege to be able to stay in such an amazing place. So full of history and charm

The bathroom window wouldn’t close completely and it was a bit chilly in the middle of the night!

Is there some superlative for excellent ?

Next day I would visit the area with a group and the first visit would be Talbot House. As it's a bit a long travel for me with public transport I had a look for a hotel. I admit, I even didn't realise I booked a night at the museum !! It was amazing, everything about the stay was amazing.

The mattress was a bit too soft, I am not used to that.

This is the perfect base from which to explore the Ypres area, literally woven into its history.

Exploring the rich history of the Ypres area is one thing. Living amidst it takes this experience to another level. This is what you can expect to find at Talbot House, which is literally a working museum and an enduring testament to the people who labored to give soldiers of The Great War a few moments of peace away from the front line. Book a room. Enjoy a full English breakfast. Spend a moment in quiet reflection in the upper room or rear garden, and enjoy a local beer in the first-floor sitting area, all surrounded by history. Oh, the stories the walls here can share, now echoes of lives well-lived and tragically lost. This is an unforgettable lodging experience.

A trult unique stay

A stunning stay in a place of real history. A great welcome from Warden Gerald and the team allowed us to watch a Euro '25 match on the communal TV. Peaceful garden cottage room with shared washing facilities. All clean and pleasant. Simple but pleasant breakfast set-up and honesty bar was a nice touch. Do explore the house - the chapel on the top floor was breath-taking. Oh if walls could talk.

COMFORTABLE, PEACEFUL AND RESTFUL

The Home is peaceful and comfortable and completely with the feel of a Friendly and Hospitable place to stay. The staff are kind and chatty. The location is perfect being close to streets to park and then to walk to the Market Square. The garden is gorgeous and delightfully full of roses and places to sit and reflect and rest. The breakfast and tea was delicious. The Attic Chapel is beautiful and offers a place of healing.

Great stay in historic building - recommend!

Novel to stay in such a historic building - we enjoyed visiting the museum and learning more about the history of Talbot House. Rooms are comfortable - we stayed in the garden building separate from main house. Excellent continental breakfast (there is a charge for cooked which we didn’t choose to have - in fact, the available selection for the continental was more than enough!) Hosts were really friendly - gave us recommendations for the area and made us feel very welcome. Overall highly recommend if you are visiting Poperinge!

Rooms do not have hairdryers - the host kindly lent me one but would recommend to take your own if needed!

Touched by the history of the place.

Lovely English breakfast on picknickbenches outside. Very friendly staff who welcomed us with a nice pot of tea. Restful garden, plenty of places to sit and read.

Shared badroom was a bit primitive. The room was sober but clean.

Excellent step into tranquility and friendliness.

Super friendly host whom made tea and cake for us on arrival and told us to treat the place as a home from home. The gardens and tranquility were excellent and the museum portrayed the history of Talbot house.

There was nothing to not like. Would en-suite rooms have been better, probably but it would take away from the fabric of the building and its purpose.

Only one night but if I am ever back I would Center a visit around Talbot house.

It has so much history, for anyone wanting to visit the WWI sites this is so much part of that time.

It’s a gem!

There is no other place like it, commemorating the history of WWI. Best as a short stay.

The historic connections. The uniqueness. The importance to Canadian and world history. The commitment of the wardens. The house cat. The location in Poperinge.

Privacy and noise (nothing can be done about this... it is a 108 year old home). Breakfast (though it was the Wardens' last day, no hot breakfast was served as we had hoped).
