We liked it very much. Simple but very good value for money. Nice, friendly staff and great food. We booked the three course menu for an additional 20 euros per person, top quality. Can be further recommended. Location is also very nice, you can start the most beautiful hiking trails from the inn.

Very nice inn in an extraordinary and great location for long and eventful hikes. We were served very well over the 4 days and were also given great advice regarding our hiking routes. The dinner is sensationally good and the rich breakfast is also absolutely praiseworthy. Especially the very successful scrambled eggs, the fried eggs, the perfectly cooked eggs and the selection of sausage and cheese. Plus delicious juices, tea and good coffee. The staff was always there promptly and very attentive - including the head of the house. The other very nice guests also seemed extremely satisfied. Some have been coming to this wonderful inn for years. We will definitely book here again. We felt very comfortable here and would have liked to have stayed longer.The only drawback: The room lacks a small refrigerator in which you can store your provisions and drinks for the hikes. Next time we'll bring our small cool box with a power connection.

The inn seems to be very old.The rooms are furnished in an old-fashioned way, decorated with cobwebs, a creaky bed and no accessories (no kettle, no hand soap at the sink).The shower has a very high entrance, the water only gets warm sporadically and changes between hot and cold when showering. You either freeze to death or burn your back. In addition, the warm water is only hot at certain times (apparently only after 7 a.m.).Toilet paper and fresh towels are available for everyone in the hallway.The food tastes good - but overpriced for the portion size.The breakfast selection is okay (bread was very dry, little selection of fruit).The service staff is great!Unfortunately there is nothing here for children. No play options neither indoor nor outdoor. The nearest playground is more than 1km away.All in all - okay, but expensive.

Dear Andy and team, you are great. It's like coming home every time. I was with you for the fourth time this year and of course, we'll see each other again next year! Stay healthy.

Beautiful location. Particularly good breakfast. Spacious room. But it is very special that the room is not cleaned daily, or even at all. Never experienced that before.

Had dinner at Andreas a few times last week, as usual the food was more than excellent. Too bad it's about 400km away, otherwise we would come much more often.

We were on bikes for the first time. The car was parked safely in the yard and the bikes found a very good place in the inn's garage. The staff and the innkeeper create a very familiar environment, so we felt completely comfortable. A very nice inn, rustically furnished and clean. You can also eat very well here and every now and then hikers get lost while taking a short break there.We'll definitely come back again.

We were there for 6 days and had half board. All I can say is that when we said goodbye we were really sad to leave. The evening meal was always a real pleasure. Every starter soup was wonderful, the main course was wonderful and the dessert was always heavenly.The breakfast buffet was also sufficient. Everything is there. Although I would have liked more fresh things like tomatoes and cucumbers. Was always empty quickly.The innkeeper is very authentic. Absolutely adorable. Just like all the employees.We don't need a shishi (sauna, wellness, etc.) as has already been reported.For us, the warmth and the passion we experienced for the hotel business were the decisive factors in coming back.Speaking of Shishi. The room was fantastically large. I was even able to do my yoga. Not every hotel has this space.There are also cozy places in the evening where you can retreat outside if you want to be by yourself.If you love good wine, this is the right place for you.And there is also a freshly tapped Krombacher.Not to mention the hiking trails from the house and the fresh air there.Summary: We'll definitely be back and we're already longing for it again.
