Easy enough to find in Loch, which by the way is a most depressing little town.||The room, indeed the whole property, was filled (our room had more than 30) with dark depressing paintings. …

A very cozy accommodation in Lorch. Ideal for hikers, the entrance to the Rheinsteig is just around the corner. Town and Rhine just a minute away. Very friendly host, good breakfast.

The guest house is quite small and therefore there is no reception; You get a detailed description in advance of how to get the key, a bit like a scavenger hunt. Had a double room as a single room, postillion, which is quite small at 12m2, and the bathroom is also tiny. The room is certainly not modern, but cozy, clean and has wooden floors. The biggest surprise was that there was hardly any noise from the nearby train traffic, even though the window was open at night.The breakfast for 7.50 per person is brought to the room, with baguettes, croissants etc., is delicious and inexpensive at €7.50.

A quaint guesthouse full of art by a local artist. They are mostly atmospheric pictures that don't overwhelm you. It's something completely different, I felt a bit like I was in "Harry Potter". The room was very clean, also artfully decorated and the landlord was a friendly and very nice person. The bathroom could be a bit bigger.We didn't have breakfast here.

We stayed here for a few days and had a very nice time. Mr. Franke is a very attentive host and makes an excellent breakfast, which is even delivered directly to your room. We will be back definitely! Until next time, we're looking forward to it!
