We attended a wedding celebration in the inn. Conveniently, we stayed another night.The rooms are absolutely sufficient for a short stay, it was clean and you had everything you need. The carpet could be replaced and a double bed could be put instead of 2 single beds. It might be more practical, but that's complaining at a high level 😉. We just pushed the beds together.It is wonderfully quiet, so you can leave the windows open at night and in the evening.The location is a bit rustic, but befits an inn. We had a large room to celebrate and to get some fresh air you could go outside into the courtyard, which is also very inviting to sit. The inn has several bowling alleys, one of which was available to us.Otherwise it should be said that the service was very attentive, it was cleared away quickly and requests for drinks were fulfilled quickly. The carafes on the tables were also filled up super quickly. Everyone was nice and accommodating, there is absolutely nothing to complain about 😊The dinner (consisting of warm and cold) was super tasty and varied. The breakfast was good and there were even several juices available. I would have expected this in a large hotel, but here I was pleasantly surprised by the selection.Great, keep it up! 👏🏼 😀

We went bowling at the inn with the after-school children in the morning and thought it was really nice that we could be offered this opportunity. The staff was very nice and had a lot of patience. Many thanks again to all the staff, the children had a lot of fun.

We celebrated our wedding at the inn and I have to say, it was just great! Great service, friendly, great food, charming rooms for us and our guests and the prices unbeatable. We were able to put together our dream celebration without any problems. Even short-term changes were easily adapted. We felt very comfortable. Thanks for the great day!
