Lovely place to stay. Loved the quality and attention to detail. Breakfast had everything and was a treat to look forward to. We had dinner in both restaurants and thought it was excellent value, not cheap, but good value for money. …

Overall the hotel is in a great location, with a nice garden and lots of good walking and access to the lake. Fantastic views from the room overlooking the lake. Accommodation was basically a small apartment so very spacious. …

The pictures are a little deceiving about what to expect when you arrive...it’s right on the Main Street. But once inside the hotel and especially your room, the whole mood changes. …

Ate here today for maybe the third or fourth time with consistently good experiences. Had Ox with fried potatoes and can absolutely recommend this dish, the meat was tender and very tasty and I've seldomly eaten potatoes of this quality in southern Germany.
