This was our second time in this guesthouse because we felt very well looked after there. The guesthouse is family run and everyone is very hospitable!The breakfast is lovingly prepared, wishes are fulfilled as far as possible and there is also nice conversation with the owner.Our first choice when we are nearby!

The tiled sofa is a broom economy. The food here is hearty and enough for “normal” hunger. It's best to come as soon as the broom opens, within 15-25 minutes the main room (approx. 45-50 people) was full and the other hungry guests were already allowed to take a seat (seat?) in the next room. The Besen/the Weinstube has a website: here you can find everything you need, such as directions, opening times, pictures, and most importantly, the menu written in Swabian.So I guess it's going to be lost. I've had some sweetness and so I'll be back again. So enjoy it and don't be stingy with urgent money. (The review is now delayed because I linked the website.)

The rooms are nice. But for €118 a night I expect at least a shower towel and not just a small towel. The reception is unstaffed and there are no signs whatsoever. Breakfast is a bit sparse but very nicely prepared. The coffee is very good. WiFi is only available for 72 hours.I found the shower towel. It hangs behind the bathroom door.😇😇

A nice guesthouse in the countryside. Not far from Stuttgart and Pforzheim.Simple but good breakfast, friendly innkeepers.If you are in the area or have something to do in one of the big cities nearby and appreciate the peace and quiet, the guesthouse is worth recommending.

We weren't in the guest house but in the Besa. It was great, good drinks (wine and soft drinks), delicious food and good desserts. The innkeeper had a nice chat with the many guests.
