Parking right in front of the door, quiet location, small rooms, outdated furniture, hygiene could also be better.There is a small refrigerator and a kettle in the common hallway.A small stream flows under the terraces.Breakfast is available in the restaurant next door and is sufficient.For this price, an overnight stay is ok if you're not looking for luxury, but in my opinion not for longer.

A beautiful little village restaurant that you can hardly find anywhere in the region today. Cozy little restaurant with the charm of the 50s and a classic small menu with home-style classics such as schnitzel and steaks. The dishes are freshly prepared and of the best quality. The restaurant is somewhat hidden in Oesinghausen, a small village between Dieringhausen and Osberghausen on the reservoir up the mountain. Unfortunately, like many other restaurants, it is only open a few days a week and then a reservation is urgently required. Restaurant will close in fall 2024.
