SELF-DRIVE TOURS
HOTELS &
GUEST HOUSES

This page is all about the hotels we offer as part of our popular Self-Drive battlefield tours.

The most important feature of all these accommodation options is the Self-Drive guide(s) we provide as part of our Sel-Drive 'package', for without such a guide one can so easily end up looking at French/Belgium countryside, without having much idea as to what took place back in the Great War.

We suggest you first read more about what's included in our Self-Drive tours by turning to our 'Self-Drive' tour page, then choose from the below accommodation options which one you would like to stay at. When you've found the hotel/B&B you would like to stay at please phone or e-mail us for a quotation.

We try to keep things as simple as possible. You don't need to submit a booking form - everything can be arranged by phone and/or e-mail.

Please note that we only recommend privately owned hotels and guest houses which we would personally choose if we were visiting the battlefields.

The Somme Battlefield (click for details)		The Ypres Battlefield (click for details)
* * Hotel Basilique A 'Logis' hotel offering basic but very 'French' accommodation located right in the centre of Albert town, directly opposite the famous Basilica. We also use this hotel for our conducted tours. (closed Mondays)		* * * * Hotel Ariane One of our favourite hotels (and also used for our conducted tours). The Ariane Hotel is situated close to the centre of Ypres, which we also use for our conducted tours.
* * * Hotel St Claude Situated in heart of the famous French WW1 town of Peronne, this Best Western (though privately owned) hotel has recently been completely refurbished. The hotel is jus a short walk from the WW1 Historial Museum.		* Hotel Old Tom Basic clean rooms with an excellent restaurant located in the centre of Ypres (and a favourite haunt for battlefield visitors)
Le Macassar This accommodation is quite different from 'normal' hotels and as such has no 'star' rating. Le Macassar is a beautiful art deco guest house/Inn offering magnificent accommodation for those seeking something truly memorable. Read the reviews!		* * * Albion Hotel Chris and her husband Luc own this 'secret' hotel located close to the town centre and just a few yards from the famous ramparts (and just 5 minutes from the Menin Gate).
Avril Williams' Guest House Guest house accommodation featured in the BBC series 'War Walks' located actually on the Somme battlefield near Beaumont Hamel.		Camalou Guest House Located just outside Ypres, this very 'Belgium' guest house is owned by a very knowledgeable battlefield guide. An ideal base for exploring the Ypres battlefields.
B&B in Flers Situated in the village of Flers, where the very first tanks went in to action on the morning of 15 September 1916
