Fantastic location for Ypres and the surrounding areas. A very short trip to the train station to explore the rest of Belgium. The apartment is spotlessly clean and has everything that you need in order to make yourself at home. The surroundings are very peaceful with the opportunity to access great cycle/walking routes and public transport. We definitely recommend this apartment to stay and use as a base for exploring the First World War sites and attending the Menin Gate Last Post service (8pm). We were made to feel extremely welcome and looked after. We will definitely be looking to visit again.

It was a wonderful stay at Ivan and Ann's who welcomed us into their home. The studio is comfortable and well equipped. It was a lovely stroll of about 45 minutes around a lovely lake to Ypres and lots of beautiful walks and countryside nearby. There is plenty of parking and we found it well located to get onto major roads to follow cycle races in Flanders. Ivan and Ann were brilliantly helpful and hospitable throughout our stay, we loved it!

Supervriendelijk ontvangst van Ann waardoor je een warm gevoel krijgt en je meer dan welkom voelt. De studio is prachtig ingericht, rustgevend en waarheidsgetrouw met de foto's, zelfs nog veel beter dan op de foto's. Is echt een gevoel van thuiskomen. Alles is ook aanwezig. Een echte aanrader. |
This apartment was amazing, Anne & Ivan who own the property were really kind & extra helpful. They really went above & beyond. Extremly clean & modern, fantastic kitchen facilities & a very comfy bed. Great location near all the war graves & museums. Definetly would recommend & hopefully be back in the future

Fabulous in Every Way
The Flat: The very spacious L-shaped studio provides three separate areas for sleeping (extra-comfy bed), sitting, and eating/working & cooking; the shower room is equally spacious. The fixtures and fittings are of a well-above average quality. We liked particularly the provision of a kettle, a Sensor coffee machine (with coffee pads) and a filter (no filter papers necessary). We dined comfortably 'at home' during our 5-night stay. The flat itself forms part of the first floor of the former parsonage, with its own entrance and slightly steep staircase. The mid-C19th building was destroyed during the Great War, then rebuilt in 1924 using its original plans; as a result, you will be staying in a rock-solid building (no party-wall stud partitions here!) with an authentic feel. It overlooks the parish church and churchyard - worth a visit in their own right. The property has excellent facilities (and information) for waste and recycling. The Location: Perfect for our requirements, which were visiting CWGC cemeteries and battlefields. Having stayed many times in Ieper over the years, we have grown weary of parking difficulties. The Parsonage has several parking spaces outside the front door, and easy access to the road network. It was simple enough to drive the short distance into Ieper when necessary, and even simpler to be on the road to wherever one needed to be. Moreover, it's a level walk into Ieper, much of it off-road along designated paths. Shops in Zillebeke provide bread, general groceries, meat - more than enough for day-to-day needs. Our Hosts: They welcomed us upon arrival (providing a guided tour of the flat and handing over the key), then wished us 'bon voyage' towards the end. Had we needed assistance, they were on hand at specific times, but they were happy to leave us to our own devices.

Zalig weekendje weg !
De kamer was zalig, alsook de locatie: alle toeristische bezienswaardigheden vlot te bereiken met de auto! Ook een zeer hartelijke ontvangst bij aankomst. Ons verblijf was perfect! Aurélie Februari 2017 Was heel ruim, alles mooi in orde, vlakbij bakker en slager en we
moesten in de sporthal van Ieper zijn die ook op slechts 5 minuten
rijden was. Heel vriendelijke mensen en veel parkeergelegenheid.

Ann and Ivan were great, showing us where everything was and where we can get provisions. Very quiet and great if you have a car. Lovely surroundings and easy access to all the tourist areas around Ieper.

I’ve had a wonderful time staying at Ivan & Ann’s studio apartment in Zillebeke. The studio in their beautifully renovated Pastorie was very spacious and bright. It’s kept very clean and is very comfortable. I was given a warm welcome from Ivan & Ann and I was able to store my bike in their garage and use their maps of the area. I will definitly recommend to stay here if you want to visit Ypres or the Heuvelland region.

Een ruime, lichte studio waar je jezelf dadelijk thuis voelt. Warm welkom door Ann, Yvan en co. Een absolute aanrader! Great premises and location |
Parfait ! hartelijke ontvangst, zeer goede uitvalsbasis voor de westhoek te verkennen, een aanrader |
Het was een leerrijk weekend met de nodige ontspanning badend in luxe. Heel vriendelijke en behulpzame eigenaars. Alles was aanwezig. Zelfs afwasproduct, keukenhanddoekrn, koffie, thee, suiker, melk, ...en alles is heel proper! Veel comfort. Mooie omgeving. Bakker net om de hoek. Er is een kluis aanwezig. De zwemvijver kon is zeer bekoren bij de 34 graden die we hadden tijdens ons verblijf. Mijn zoontje vond het heel fijn dat er nog jongens waren om mee te spelen. De eigenaars hebben 3 zonen.

Ivan and Ann have created a stylish, bright, spacious, well equipped, clean and comfortable private apartment. The location, in quiet Zillebeke, is ideal for visiting Ieper which is a pleasant 40 minute lakeside walk away or a couple of minutes in the car. They were very welcoming a knowledgeable about the Flanders area. I can highly recommend Studio De Pastorie.

We had a great stay in Zillebeke with Ivan and Ann. The apartment was immaculate and spacious. A warm welcome. This was a super location for exploring the Ypre Salient and WW1 sites. Ypres is oly 3 minutes away form Zillebeke and worked well. Would recommend this place and look forward to staying again.

Warm en openhartige gastgezin. Kinderen van het gezin konden goed overweg met onze kinderen. heel rustige buurt en vlakbij verschillende bezienswaardigheden zoals Ieper, heuvelland enz.... Studio is ruim , veel licht en zeer proper. Bedden waren zalig om in te slapen :-) Super accueil de la part de la maîtresse de maison (en francais car nous ne sommes pas bilingues) Très serviable et aux petits soins. Le studio est neuf, bien équipé, de très bon goût et au calme. Il fait très propre. Félicitations aux propriétaires pour la restauration du bâtiment. |
Zeer aangenaam verblijf, mooi en licht. Vriendelijke ontvangst en zeer open. Smaakvol ingerichte studio met fijne badkamer, goede keuken, ruim bed. Rustige ligging. Vlakbij Ieper, historische stad. Flanders Fields. Indrukwekkend de Last Post, dagelijks om 20.00 uur. |
We were made to feel very welcome during our stay by Ann and Ivan, such warm and genuine people. We also met their children.
Ivan and Ann were helpful with information and were very knowledgable about the history of their district. The appartment is beautifully renovated, spacious, very comfortable and super clean. It is part of the main property but separate, private and quiet. We found the location perfect being about 5 minutes drive from the centre of town. Wonderful stay and would highly recommend.

Een hartelijke ontvangst van Ann en Ivan maakt dat je je hier snel thuis voelt. De studio is ruim voor 2 personen, en ligt in een mooi en modern verbouwde oude pastorie. Zillebeke is een heel rustig dorp, maar de omgeving biedt veel mooie plekken. Ieper en Lille zijn aanraders in de buurt, en natuurlijk het mooie wandelgebied van het Heuvelland.

Na vlot en correct contact voor onze vakantie begon, een warm welkom in de prachtig gerenoveerde studio van de oude pastorie. Een modern, ruim ingerichte studio, van alle gemakken voorzien. Zelfs de badjassen hingen klaar. Overdag hebben we ons vermaakt met wandelen en Geocaching. ' s Avonds genieten van een heerlijk Belgisch biertje.In de omgeving is genoeg te zien en te beleven als je meer wilt weten van WOI Het oude stadje Ieper is langs een mooi wandelpad te bereiken. Elke avond om 20.00 is bij de Menenpoort in Ieper een korte herdenking. Zeker de moeite waard om naar toe te gaan.

Ivan, Anne y sus 3 hijos , son muy agradables, comunicativos y amables. Nos han recibido y hospedado maravillosamente bien,durante los 7 dias que hemos estado. El apartamento es muy alegre, practico,moderno, espacioso y confortablemente calefaccionado. Todo el equipamiento es nuevo y funciona perfecto. Esta en un pueblo,Zillebeke, chico y tranquilo, a solo 5km de Ypres que es una pequeña ciudad muy interesante y encantadora. Si volvemos a Flandres,sin duda nos volveriamos a alojar en lo de Ivan y familia !

Very nice house, excellent quality and finish. Great and a wonderful reception and a great nights sleep. Will definitely come back! |
Vriendelijke ontvangst, mooie studio in een rustige omgeving. Ideaal voor ons weekendje met bezoek aan Ieper en Bellewaerde. We mochten al onze intrek nemen vanaf de middag en eventueel hun fietsen gebruiken. |
The host was friendly, very helpful and fast in communication. The apartment is beautiful and brand new. It has everything one can need. I would definitely advise anyone to stay with Ivan if you want/need to stay in the area.

Ivan and Ann's place is incredible and they are really great hosts! We spent two nights there and would have loved to stay longer but they had other guests checking in. Their space is beautiful - about half of the top floor of a historic and completely restored home. It is immaculately clean and extremely tastefully decorated. It has a fully equipped kitchen, a very comfortable living room, and a wonderfully comfortable bed. They have gathered walking, bicycling and driving tour maps for their guests' use, and they are a willing source of information if asked. We especially loved that, while their home is lavishly furnished and supplied with everything one could need, they also care about the environment and demonstrate that through touches they've implemented in the design of the space and how they manage it. It is located in at a very convenient distance from Ypers and is in the midst of many historic sites - all walking distance. You will love this place and these hosts if you decide to stay here. We plan to recommend this to our friends and family who travel here in the future. Five stars for sure!
