I have fond memories of this restaurant going back 30 years when I first met my wife who lives close by.||It's a family establishment and I believe the next generation of the original family runs it now. …

We were last here (for just one night) in 2013, and vowed to return. This time we stayed two nights, and it was superb. We had a spacious room with windows on two sides. Very comfortable. …

We stayed for three nights and had two rooms. Both rooms were great. Clean, comfortable, lots of space. We agree with the other reviewers about the breakfasts. The staff we met did not speak much English. …

The dining room is very twee and pretty. One waiter (the owner) does it all but he is very good. Big portions, good food. Anything pork and you get two pork loins plus sides which always includes a separate side salad.  …

We were in this restaurant for a family dinner. This is an old fashioned family business for a few generations, I guess. Food is high quality but for fans of this kind of German kitchen, to my mind, it is a little bit too heavy and fat. Prices are also quite high, service is OK.

Nice and comfortable hotel, according to German guidelines. Also very nice breakfast and friendly team|I would always choose anyone like that rather than a standard hotel.|It was a real pleasure.|Just take care about the weather, all this land uses to be quite cold, but the landscape is so increadbly nice!
