The hotel and the rooms are visibly old and unfortunately no longer up to date. The rooms are only superficially clean and have a huge renovation backlog. The entire facility appears very unkempt. The service tries very hard to make the best of everything. The boss is so odd that it's almost strange. The food was good, although we wonder how they can offer such a large selection to so few guests.

I can only agree with the last review! We wanted to stop for coffee and cake this afternoon. Since I'm visiting the area from Münster and we have to travel a bit, we checked Google first to see whether the silver mill was open. According to Google, this was the case. When we drove through the forest towards the mill, we got the first shock at the barrier that they had increased parking to €4. There were a few cars parked in front of the mill. There are two entrances, both accessible through iron gates. One was locked with chains (entrance to the beer garden) and the other had a numerical code. After about 5 minutes, guests came through the gate and a lady with garbage bags on her back who shamelessly pulled the gate in front of my father's face. A little irritated, we asked why we couldn't go in, and the lady responded quite rudely and said we should leave. There wouldn't be enough staff to open. I was really really annoyed by the way things were done and asked if it was asking too much to put a notice on Google or at the bottom of the barrier when the cafe was closed. But it's nice to collect €4 from unsuspecting guests. Reaction: “I only work here!” Turned around and walked away! We had had bad experiences years ago and actually wanted to test it again...This was actually itlast time! We can only advise everyone not to try there. Even though I feel really sorry for the area!
