I arrived much earlier than the standard check-in time, but was kindly welcomed in, given my key, and provided with all the necessary information about the hotel. Since my room wasn't ready yet, I was asked if I wouldn’t mind waiting until 2 PM. That was no problem, as it gave me time to go out for lunch. When I returned, I was shown to my room, located on the ground floor. It was a well-equipped space with a lovely bathroom. The B&B also offers a beautiful rooftop sitting lounge, where I was able to enjoy the afternoon sun for a while. In the evening, I relaxed and watched some TV, as cable was available. The night wasn’t entirely pleasant for me due to a rib contusion, but in the morning I went for a short walk. Upon returning, the host was already preparing breakfast for the guests. Each table was set with a wide variety of options—fresh bread, buns, croissants, cinnamon rolls, and a selection of spreads, meats, and cheeses. There was also coffee, tea, and orange juice. A buffet offered even more choices, and guests were asked how they’d like their eggs prepared fresh. The owner was very knowledgeable about the local area and its history, and kindly offered to share more if I had the time. Unfortunately, I couldn’t take him up on it as I was in town for work. After breakfast, I checked out and was warmly wished farewell. All in all, this B&B is a wonderful place to stay if you’re looking for a getaway near Ypres. My only small suggestion would be to improve the parking situation, as spaces were a bit limited.

B&B Afrodite is very close to where a relative of mine in the 24th Battalion was killed in WW1 - in fact, he was buried only about 100m away. Dirk and Heidi run the B&B. Dirk has a great knowledge and understanding of WW1. He spent over an hour with us, looking at maps, discussing the battle and then actually walking the ground with us to see where CAPT Tom Godfrey might have been buried on 4 Oct 1917. It was a fairly emotional experience, and I will forever be grateful to Dirk for his kind enthusiasm in spending that time with us. Heidi also was bright and cheerful and cooked scrambled eggs for us for breakfast. She could not have been more pleasant. The premises are clean and new and comfortable.

The double bed was actually two single beds side by side, which is OK for some.

We loved B&B Afrodite. The hosts were so friendly and welcoming, the room was spotless, the shower was hot, the bed was comfortable and the breakfast was fantastic! It was also close to so many of the WWI sites and memorials we wanted to see. We've stayed at a few places over the past few weeks and this was far and away the best. If we ever make it back to that area, we will book again!

I couldn't fault anything.

Fantastic

Would have liked traditional kettle in room rather than fancy equipment that I couldn’t work

Unbelievable host.

The outdoor spaces like the pool and roof terrace

All good but the stairs are steep and if you have mobility issues could be a problem
