Poppy time in Heuvelland!

You see them here and there, usually never alone: the fragile poppy. The period June-July is poppy time. They form a beautiful sight together with the rolling hills of Heuvelland (near Ypres). Here is one of the pictures taken in the municipality of De Klijte. Wouldn't you like to walk and cycle in such surroundings? If you come to stay with us, we will gladly reserve a bicycle for you (electric, normal or mountain bike). Please use our contact form.

Poem written by the Canadian officer-surgeon John McCrae about the poppies in Flanders Fields.

You will find more beautiful pictures of poppies at www.top.vlaanderen.

Hostellerie Mont Kemmel **** : icon of the Belgian hotel and catering industry

Today an article appeared in the national edition of "Het Laatste Nieuws" about the hotel / restaurant Hostellerie Mont Kemmel ****. It is the third article in the series of Belgian hotel and catering icons, or as they write: ".The indestructible archetypal classics of the Belgian hospitality industry.“. We couldn't say, euh, write it better ourselves.

For the readers of the digital newspaper "Het Laatste Nieuws": see https://krant.hln.be/.../7866/publications/30833/pages/6. There was also a regular article online. For all others, we have placed a scan below.

The title would have been even better: "Still SOME LOCAL elderly people don't dare to come in here". Mediators and senior citizens from all over Flanders and beyond have made up a large part of our audience for years.

Thanks to "Latest News" to devote virtually 2 pages to us.

Additional COVID protection: CO² meters

We are always abiding by all coronation measures imposed by the government. We are already preparing for the reopening of the restaurant (the government's so-called "indoor plan"). We are also installing several CO² meters.

Hostellerie Mont Kemmel **** has already installed a first CE-approved and professional_{CO2 meter} in the restaurant. Everyone can follow the C02 concentration and thus whether or not there is sufficient ventilation. If the concentration is too high, the green indication changes to orange or even red. A 7-day history is also kept and we can therefore easily demonstrate that we meet all the relevant standards.

In the coming weeks, _{CO2 meters} will also be installed in all rooms (lounge, bar and the two seminar rooms). The safety of our guests is always our top priority!
