We celebrated our 3rd anniversary in the restaurant. This is why we have only rated the service. However, if the Hotel rooms are any reflection of the dining experience, then it can only be fantastic. The food was so delicious and creative. The service was impeccable. The atmosphere was very comfortable. I highly recommend trying it out.

Great place for dinner! Don't be fooled by the empty appearance in the main building, in summer go through to the outside area - lovely terrace for dining. Food was awesome as was the service - more than happy to accommodate a table for 6 (I'm surprised how many German restaurants will only cater for up to 4!). A little pricey, but still good value for money (really well presented dishes that taste really good). Have recommended to family and friends

Small, cosy guest house in authentic historic environment. Got an old fashioned but charming room with a huge bathroom, nice “ancient” atmosphere. Terrace surrounded by beautiful green garden. …

We came for a birthday function close by and booked here quite by accident. All I want to say about the hotel and rooms as regards our overnight stay was that it was more than adequate and clean.  …

We stayed at the Waldesruh because that was the venue for my niece Helen's wedding party. Our room was spacious and well equipped with en suite shower room. The catering at Helen's party, laid on by the hotel, was excellent. …
