The guesthouse offers the usual standard that can be found in the Franconian x-fach: furniture and sanitary facilities with the charm of the 70s, well tidy, complete and tidy. Completely ok for us (father, mother, child). What's annoying is that the price is far above regional standards. We decided to do it anyway, at short notice due to the dubious weather forecast. We originally wanted to stay for three nights, but had to leave one night earlier for personal reasons. Of course it's okay if the landlord then collects the money for three nights. But there are no sympathy points for this. The argument that you could have rented the apartment to someone else is not really credible when the house is almost empty. You have to make appointments with friends from outside carefully and in advance. There is no cell phone reception in the house (the landlord can't help it) but also no WiFi, which is remarkable considering the price.

I think the price is too high: the standard and quality are poor. We happened to sleep on a cold day, but when we arrived on Monday after 11 p.m., the water in the shower (one cabin on the first floor available to everyone) was cold. The heating also did not function as it should to obtain a comfortable temperature in the rooms. Breakfast was offered at 7.5 euros per person, which I think is expensive compared to the competition. The toilet can also be used in the corridor.
