In short: very nice hotel with great hospitality, we can only recommend it!We would be happy to come back any time as soon as we go on holiday in the Rhön again.A little more detailed:The family-run hotel has an attractive rural location near the Pferdeskopf and the Wasserkuppe. Ideal for hiking or exploring the beautiful landscape on a MTB/Fully.We received a very friendly welcome and felt completely comfortable.We always ate there in the evening, it was always prepared with a lot of love and every time there was a “greetings from the kitchen” as a small starter. Simply great. The breakfast was also very lovingly prepared and nothing was missing.Thanks to the owner and his family for the unforgettable stay.Steffi and Timo

We spent a night in the Sonnenhotel as part of a stage hike. The host Alfred Klein is very friendly and always takes great care of his guests. We had a simple but clean and quiet room. Our dog was also welcome.The dinner was delicious, the breakfast is varied and rich. We were particularly happy about the fresh fruit and the flexibility of the kitchen if you have intolerances or eating habits (it's best to let us know in advance and everything will be taken care of).
