Amazing historical yet comfy inn
Talbot House was amazing, from the friendly staff to the upgraded rooms which were comfortable and yet maintained the spirit of this special place. Thank you for an excellent stay.

Interesting and comfortable, historic hotel
Booking for a family via hotels.com doesn’t really prepare you for the museum experience you get here.
Our friendly hosts were kind and helpful. We loved the attached museum and the kids loved that the room was actually a ‘display piece’ too - but magically we were allowed to go past the barriers.
I’d plan the restaurant in Popering in advance (especially with children).
Interesting and historic hotel with beautiful grounds and very comfy beds.

A lovely, historic place to stay!
This historic place is impressive to say the least. paintings, photographs and signage on the walls were both beautiful and entertaining. The location is perfect for visiting Poperinge and surrounding area.The back garden is inviting and relaxing. The breakfast was delicious in a lovely setting. I highly recommend Talbot House!

Hotel or museum?
Its bedrooms in the old house are not sound proof in any way and doors slamming into the late evening with recorded historical voice tapes and a chess games room just outside the bedrooms stop you having a good nights sleep. In my opinion the old house should be maintained as just a museum and dining and kitchen area. It doesn't work as a museum and a hotel. The breakfasts were well presented and abundant in variety and the bread, cheeses and ham super fresh.

A unique and immersive opportunity to stay in a property used as a social club by soldiers in WW1 and is now a museum.
Friendly and helpful staff (especially Chris!).

Experience a Part of History
If you're interested in history, you should stay here. This was used by British soldiers during WWI. A piece of history that you can connect with. A rare experience and well worth supporting. The house is great and filled with history and there is a museum which offers free admission to guests at the hotel. We did share a bathroom, but it was always available and very well kept. I will definitely stay here again.

I stayed here one night when we were doing WWI battlefield tours. This was a wonderful find. So much world war one memorabilia. The rooms were simple but comfortable. Shared bathrooms were clean and quite private. The grounds and the home are just beautiful. Very much in keeping with the theme of our trip. Highly recommend it.

Personnels très agréable , le point négatif sont les sanitaires et douches communes.
Également le parquet très bruyant, on ose pas trop se déplacer de peur de réveiller les voisins

De ontvangst en zorg van de vrijwilligers is van een zeer hoge kwaliteit.
Duidelijkheid over de toegewezen kamer: tuinkamer idpv in het hoofdgebouw was een korte ontgoocheling. Evenwel compenseerde al de rest ruimschoots.
