Only spent one night to revel in the moment of what this historical landmark represents. To know that you're sharing the same space that so many Great War soldiers did 100+ years earlier is right up this historian's alley. As a guest, you get free range of the house, garden and museum. We were even afforded a coupon booklet that offered discounts and free admissions to area attractions. Sadly, the weather was beyond bearable at 39 degrees but that's no one's fault - just a sign of the times. Without air conditioning, while having an upper floor room, the heat made sleep difficult. However, we did take advantage of having a Belgian pint in the garden as so many soldiers would have. The wardens in charge during our stay were warm and welcoming. Checking in was simple and we were directed to a nearby free public parking lot (there is no automatic free parking assigned to TH). Breakfast was your typical continental fare and a solid offering for the small price of 5 EUR. Our room was a fair size overlooking the street out front. You pick up the noise of street traffic below so if you're a light sleeper, consider one of the bunkhouses out back in the garden. Although modernized, it still has that century old charm with rough wooden floor boards and simple décor. While you're afforded a sink in your room, know that toilets and showers are shared facilities though they were clean during our stay. Being that it's a museum, you'll often hear foot traffic outside your doors during the day but things quieten down into the evening where it's just you, the wardens and other guests. Glad we stayed and soaked up a piece of history.
