    Few miles outside of Ypres but I can highly recommend Talbot House in Poperinge. Authentic surroundings and a short train ride from Ypres, or bike in and out.

    Varlet Farm is very popular. Out of town but excellent.
    Make sure you try the home made jam.

    He's given up the B&B Poppy, too busy with both him & Mrs Banjo running tours.

    Not actually in Ieper, but the Hooge Crater Hotel was very pleasant. [URL="http://www.greatwar.co.uk/places/ypres-salient-hotels.htm"[/URL] No 10.

    Talbot House is great - the old Toc-H.

    Also good is the Hotel Kasteelhof, close to Hooge. The pond in the garden is what's left of one of the mine craters. The frontline ran for a time through the grounds between the hotel and Belwaerde.

    Second the comment on the Ariane. Comfortable rooms, good food and a pleasant bar. It's also only a short walk from the town centre.
