We had four great weeks staying at Terrand holiday house. We loved the light spacious modern kitchen and kitchen table with the outlook over the back garden and neighbouring fields. We loved the super comfortable bed in the downstairs bedroom where we slept like logs as the location is so quiet. We loved the big walk-in shower in the bathroom. My husband loved the honesty bar of local beers! In the evenings we could watch English channels on tv or choose a board game to play, or read one of the selection of books about the region. The house was an ideal base for us to explore the Westhoek area - mainly by bike (and we left our bikes at the house for future guests to use). The nearby town of Dadizele is an easy bike ride away and has a variety of shops and cafes, including a supermarket. I recommend the pancakes with fresh fruits at De Klokke. The goats cheese salad at Marhaba was delicious too.

Marc, the owner of Terrand, was very hospitable and helpful. He was great. Any questions or problems we had he got onto straight away - nothing was too much trouble. Plus he gave us lots of good ideas and tips on places to go. One of his recommendations was a little bar five minutes walk way in Ter Hand that’s only open on Sunday mornings and the first Friday evening of the month. We only managed to get there once, but it was great fun - a mecca for cyclists, and the host there knew all about us and was very welcoming.

Most days we were out exploring West Flanders, enjoying its countryside and villages and learning about its WWI history. We also did day trips by train to Antwerp, Brussels and Gent from nearby Menen station.

And everyday it was always so nice to look forward to returning home to our little holiday home of Terrand.
