B&B Cherry Blossom

I was singing in Ypres at a commemoration, and I wanted to stay in a local B&B rather than the usual big hotel, that often has little atmosphere. My wife and I decided a B&B, and we found this farmer's cottage in the middle of nowhere. We were travelling by Eurostar and contacted the owners of the B&B and spoke to, Liz about transport links. To our amazement, she offered to collect us from, Lille. She also said she would drop us off at, Lille. Were were staying for 4 days. When we arrived at, Lille, Liz was there where she asked us to wait. She had my mobile number just in case. When we arrived at the cottage, which is a linked cottage, we walked into a VERY large dining room/living room. There was a wood stove blazing, which was lovely. Liz and her husband, John, were as warm and welcoming as the stove, and had a pot of tea on the table almost as soon as we had put our bags down. There were several cats in the living area, but we understand this is the owners home that we are in, and the cats were lovely, and very quiet. The house was spotless. The obviously fastidious hosts take great care ensuring the bedrooms and bathroom are kept clean. In a B&B we would never expect the beds to be made-up, that is usually the job of a larger hotel, but the shower room was cleaned every day. There are 3 bedrooms upstairs. The shower room/ toilet is not en-suite, but that didn't matter. The owners live in another part of the house, downstairs, therefore, the bedrooms are very private. We were shown around the bedrooms and every room has a flat-screen TV and has satellite TV, including getting all of the UK channels if you like the BBC news et al. Liz asked my wife and I if we wanted to see any of the War Grave sites, which we did, and she drove us around 6 cemeteries. This is her time she is taking to make us feel very welcome. If you like 4 star hotels, don't go to this B&B, if you like a 4 star B&B, great hosts, and by the way, a brilliant full English breakfast and copious amounts of tea and coffee, you couldn't be any happier. This is a farmers cottage that doesn't pretend to be anything grand. But was is grand is the welcome, the space, the great sleep we both had every night, and two owners who genuinely care about making you feel welcome.BTW, there is even free WiFi. I am singing again next year in Ypres, and we have already booked the room.
