A wonderful holiday, Holger is a brand in himself, holding the whole place together with his charming manner!Whether you're a farmer, a hobbyist, a climber, a clown, an all-rounder who knows how to pack the kids, you'll be happy to come back :-)

We were there with three children and felt very comfortable. There were lots of program items on offer and the staff were very friendly.The buffet was clear, but completely sufficient. The quality was very good and many organic products were offered.We will probably come back :-)

We will not visit the Eibtaler Hof again and cannot recommend it. The reviews from Daniel Spoth and Aerosol also reflect our experiences well.The price-performance ratio is a clear disproportion. Comparative offers in Austria or the Bavarian Forest, for example, offer completely different options in terms of service, ambience, leisure time, rooms, etc.The farm component is good. The driving options (pedal cars) also ensure entertainment.We were particularly disappointed by:- the food in general, which is more like a canteen- the hotel is pretty shabby in all areas- the limited/non-existent service- There is no bar where you could have another drink in the evening- the supposed spray park, which leaves question marks in the planning (waste of space with little added value - which child really plays there????. We didn't see any)- the "changing area" by the swimming pool (organization?) including sauna and relaxation room (plastic loungers?). This shows what glossy images can achieveNone of these points come close to justifying the price. There are individual new parts of the hotel (reception, some dining areas, swimming pool). This shows that a new path could be taken. But so far it's just a mediocre farm with a hotel that is usually equipped with Ikea and is quite expensive.All in all a bitter disappointment. Too bad about the money. We even considered leaving sooner.

The children are busy and happy here. A colorful supporting program offers almost everything a child's heart desires for children aged 3 and over. Our two-year-old daughter wasn't able to participate much due to her age. Donkey riding was possible twice a week. However, there is childcare available for you from 9.30 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. This can be used every day. For us parents, there is a lot of relaxation on offer. The area is ideal for walking and hiking. The entire team puts a lot of effort into putting a smile on the children's faces every day, for example during the magic and fire shows. We'd love to come back.

Many thanks to the Eibtaler Hof team.You could immediately feel the family atmosphere here. There was something for young and old. Healthy food, varied fare. From the owner, kitchen staff to entertainment to cleaning staff, all the staff are friendly and helpful. Holger and Madlen are worth their weight in gold. Our little one made her seahorse there despite having great respect for diving. Thank you for that. With Madlen we met a really great riding instructor who exudes such calm towards horses and children. A dream. Keep it up. We'd love to come back...5 days weren't enough for our kids😅

The Eibtaler Hof is an absolute feel-good place. The four of us spent the fall holidays here and enjoyed every day. Feeding the animals on our own farm, jumping on the trampoline, driving a Kettcar, going on discovery tours in the surrounding forest, delicious food from the buffet four times a day, on rainy days we went to the swimming pool, for the adults there was a sauna, there is nothing missing here. The rooms were cleaned daily and it was very clean. The interior design in the room is not the most modern but that didn't matter to us.

We stayed at the Eibtaler Hof in September/October. Our 8 year old was particularly fond of the pedal cars. He also attended the swimming course offered. As a total non-swimmer and with physical limitations, he managed to stay afloat at the end of the swimming course. Great! It's worth visiting here for that alone. But there is a lot more on offer for the kids, such as feeding animals, riding ponies and donkeys, archery, flying fox, quad biking, tractor carriage rides, tractor fun rides.The food is varied, fresh and delicious. Drinks Fruit and baked goods are available all day.The rooms are very nice and modernly furnished. The swimming pool has been expanded since our last visit to include a tube slide, wave slide and several water features.Several wellness treatments can be booked additionally.

Dear Eibtal team,We want to thank you again for this wonderful time. We stayed at the Eibtaler Hof for 6 days and it was beautiful.We had a very nice, cozy room, which was very clean. Food and drinks as far as the eye can see. The selection of high-quality organic food was perfect.At 5 years old, our child learned to swim in such a short time. Many thanks to swimming instructor Holger.Who puts in a lot of effort and supports each child individually.Thank you very much and see you soon!!!

We were guests at the Eibtaler Hof with our children (2 and 5) last week and had a wonderful time! The children were well entertained every day, the weekly program was very varied and interesting, from feeding the animals to pony riding, crafting, dancing, tractor rides and much more, to great evening shows. We particularly liked the warmth and dedication with which the entire team works. Everything there has a family atmosphere, nowhere hectic or stressful - that's exactly what's important! Everything from the culinary point of view was also great! Presentation, variety, but above all the taste of the food was top notch!A diverse range of drinks rounded the whole thing off.You could write a lot more, for example about the in-house fun pool, the extremely comfortable beds or the great view, but it's best to come here and experience it for yourself!!!There are no negative criticisms, it was an all-round perfect and relaxing short vacation!Thank you very much and best regards to everyone!

We stayed at the Eibtaler Hof for four days with our grandchildren, ages 8, 10 and 11. It was a totally relaxing holiday for everyone. We all had incredible fun. The children were able to help themselves everywhere and quickly came into contact with all the other children. Everyone was very nice and always came up with something for the children. Our kids could have endured it here for another 2 weeks and so could we grandparents😊. I can only recommend the Eibtaler Hof.

We have looked extensively in advance at the services provided on the homepage and the offer received from the hotel. We also read a lot of reviews, which were almost all good. Unfortunately, we have to confirm the few bad reviews afterwards. What we were looking for was a family hotel with a program and care for our children, so that we as parents also had the opportunity to relax and unwind. The combination of family hotel and adventure farm with wellness options, as advertised, seemed perfect to us. We were looking forward to spending a lot of time with our children in nature with animals and enjoying the program on offer together with them. We were also looking forward to the wellness area on offer and other things that we wanted to enjoy at least for a few hours without our children.Since we had invested a lot of money for this vacation, our expectations were correspondingly high. The food was really excellent and the staff were mostly very nice and accommodating, although the information at the reception in particular was not good or helpful. Basically, the price doesn't even begin to match the performance and what we experienced on site. Here we were missing a bit of “attention to detail”:-Childcare was not available every day and only in the mornings for the 1-3 year old children. There was no care at all for our 4 year old son. Parents had to be present for all other activities. This means that hours of relaxation in the wellness or fitness area are basically out of the question for parents.-In our apartment (annex building, 3 floors without elevator) there was a smell of sewage in the small bathroom, no tea towels or rags available to wipe things up. At least one or two bottles of water in the room every day would have been nice. Otherwise very clean and nicely decorated. We were also happy to get an extra cot.-Sauna area/wellness: There is only one sauna, there was no wood-fired sauna and I assume it hasn't been in operation for a long time. The existing sauna must first be switched on itself. The light in the sauna was partly out. There are tea bags available in the relaxation area and a kettle, but we had to get the cups ourselves from the restaurant area.-There is a lot in the fitness area, but some of it also needs to be overhauled, maintained and, above all, cleaned.-The program for the children was "okay" and they enjoyed it, as did the games area in the basement and the games corner in the dining area.In the end we even left early. We didn't even receive a response to our follow-up feedback via email. At least we got a small part of our money back without comment.

We stayed at the Eibtaler Hof for 7 days. The journey was great and the hotel/farm was extremely easy to find. When we arrived our thoughts were big... What awaits us? How does it work with the little one? Does the food taste good? Organic farm? Room clean?So I like to keep it short. We'll be back and we really enjoyed it.Whether feeding the animals, tractor rides, dinosaur bikes, torchlight hikes, quad bike rides with Holger to the cows or seeing him as an entertainer was just fun and we found ourselves in good hands here. The children were trained to be real super heroes and they were very proud of the day. Thanks !!!The food was very tasty and a huge thank you to Michael and his team.We didn't miss anything during the 7 days. Everything is very clean and if you live in a down-to-earth way, then I think you'll get your money's worth here.If you are looking for a 5 star resort and just want to deport your children, then a tip from me... please stay at home :)If you want to go to a great farm and spend time with your kids, then it could happen that you will gain a good 4 kg.I can recommend the farm for families with children and the owners are also super nice and down-to-earth people.You have done a great job with the farm.Negative —) There are always details but hey, you're on vacation and you should just switch off your head here.Everything doesn't always have to be 100% or perfect or whatever. Enjoy the time with your children instead of just taking “great” Insta pictures.We say thank you very much and see you soon.

The rooms are clean and well maintained, we had everything we needed. The food is very good - there is always something for everyone and organic :). The entertainment offering for children aged 3 and over is very varied, so that there is no chance of boredom. There were also some offers for our 2-year-old and the play area with a slide and ball pit, which we often use. The fun pool is great for small children who can already walk, we haven't had that in any hotel before. Really great! The wellness treatments are also recommended. We'd love to come back.
