We ordered burgers and got the wrong ones. The service staff asked us snidely if we had a problem with it?! In the end she took it back and we got the same burger buns, soaked in oil and partly burnt. Far too thick a slice of tomato (mind you - one slice/you could easily have cut three slices out of it) and far too much lettuce.I come from the catering industry myself and know that you can do better when serving and that you don't treat guests like that!Everything was carelessly arranged for us and we didn't feel comfortable. This was the third time we've been there and it was always something, we won't be coming back.

We were able to use the “Kastanie” as a wonderful location for our free wedding ceremony and subsequent celebration with our guests in the air-conditioned ballroom. The preparations for our wedding celebration were wonderfully accompanied by Ms. Burchert. She provided us with advice and assistance as well as numerous contacts to organize the party and implemented all of our ideas as desired. The picturesque, green inner courtyard invites you to linger and offers a great backdrop for photo opportunities. The possibility of using some of the rooms in the property to stay overnight completes the great ambience. The team spoiled us with culinary delicacies and great service so that we could enjoy our big day to the fullest.All in all, it was a successful celebration for us, which we will remember with lots of great moments.A very big thank you to the “Kastanie” and a clear recommendation to everyone who appreciates excellent cuisine and a charming ambience!

Four weeks have now passed since we were able to celebrate the wedding of our son and daughter-in-law in your inn “Zur Kastanie”.The boss, Ms. Bruchert and her entire service team made this day an unforgettable experience. Everything worked like clockwork. The buffet we put together was not only a feast for the eyes, but also a treat for body and soul 😊. The ambience and the festively decorated ballroom also deserve special praise, which was confirmed by many wedding guests.Thank you also for the delicious breakfast you served the next morning. If it takes us to your area again, we would be happy to stop by.
