We celebrated our wedding in the tipi on the 2nd weekend of August 2024.At the end of the celebration with the fantastic feeling, it could really be that it was perfect and exactly how we had imagined, falling into bed, what more could you want.The service was more than attentive, which was also noted several times by our guests. The BBQ buffet was very good, and the vegan variations were also very well received and praised beyond measure.All of our agreements were fulfilled, the concept worked very well, everyone felt very comfortable and asked us how we found this beautiful location.The breakfast the day after was also exceptional and made faces smile and it was also very nice that guests who slept outside were able to have breakfast with us.We would like to thank all the service providers involved from the bottom of our hearts and are more than happy to recommend the Töpferhaus.

We were invited to a wedding on October 11th, 2024 and arrived from Switzerland two days earlier.The online check-in was convenient as we only arrived around 8:30 p.m. With a code in the email we were able to get the key from the key box. The room was good and clean and the breakfast was rich. As far as the hotel business is concerned, everything was ok.When we got into the room, we wanted to have a drink in the restaurant. Although there were free tables in the restaurant, we were told we could enjoy the drinks in the room or in the lobby. We chose the lobby because it wasn't enough to just have a drink. The staff was friendly but not attentive. We had the impression that none of the wait staff had received any gastronomy training. For every additional drink we had to go to the restaurant and ask. We wanted to have the cost of the drinks recorded in the room. They don't do that, we had to pay them immediately...Same experience the next evening with friends who also arrived early for the wedding. Drink in the lobby, organize your own supplies, pay directly. Well, whatever.However, as far as the organization of the wedding was concerned, everything that could only be bad was bad.The wedding was at 12:30 p.m. The champagne reception after the wedding took place in the lobby because all other rooms were rented out. The dinner room could not be decorated before the wedding. This was also still rented and was only released around 3 p.m. So people had to leave the celebration to decorate.The bottom drawer, however, is that the food was consistently cold. Even refilled dishes that had just come from the kitchen were at most lukewarm...Furthermore, no container was labeled. Allergens, intolerances or vegetarians are just a few criteria.And you also had to make an effort yourself at the celebration if you wanted to have more wine poured.The highlight was that the windows in the hall were closed at around 9 p.m. Not just closed, no, locked with the key. And that with around 70 people in the room.For a restaurant that wants to distinguish itself as an event hotel, the results are extremely disappointing. That's why we unfortunately wouldn't recommend the hotel to anyone for a celebration.

I had a fabulous stay! The service was excellent and the room was clean and comfortable. The view of the lake was simply great and the quiet location contributed to relaxation. The food was excellent and balanced and everything was modern and clean. I'd love to come back!

A wonderful place for a yoga break. I have always felt very comfortable here with my participants on my retreats. Great service, a family atmosphere, yoga rooms with a unique view, cozy rooms and fantastic food. I always enjoy coming back and every time it's a bit like coming home.

We were invited to a wedding celebration there and also spent the night there. There were a lot of small children at the wedding and I have to say it was a really relaxed atmosphere. The team at Töpferhaus was so relaxed, present, courteous, friendly and helpful that I would have liked to give it an extra star. The food was splendid. The location is really beautiful, the ambience outside and inside is simply wonderful and the rooms are really spacious, modern and beautiful. I would really like to thank you very much again for allowing us to spend such a lovely evening/night with you.

We were invited to Sunday brunch at the Töpferhaus in June 2024. No problem thanks to table reservations. We were accommodated in a nicely furnished alcove. All the tables were occupied, which meant that there were a few queues, especially at the coffee machine. But everything is within reason. The selection of cold and warm dishes was great. Vegetarians were also very well catered for. You could freshly squeeze your own orange juice, a highlight for our little one. The staff refilled quickly and kept an eye on the buffet very well, were quick, friendly and very helpful.We spent a great morning in the pottery house and will definitely come back again.

5 out of 5 stars in all categories, we would give 6 if we could :) We celebrated our (dream) wedding here in mid-August and are still very inspired and overjoyed. Everything was just perfect from the start. The first time we got to know the location and the owner took place about 1.5 years before the big day. The various options (tent/hall or both) were explained to us in a very transparent and friendly manner and the locations were shown. We immediately felt at home. The 1.5 years went by really quickly and then the time had come - our wedding weekend :) registry office on Friday and a free wedding on Saturday. The staff was friendly, helpful, motivated, professional and warm from the first minute. The kitchen conjured up incredibly delicious, creative and harmonious dishes. And the location is simply unique and breathtakingly idyllic and filled with your own wedding guests simply unbeatable. Each guest was able to sleep on site in one of the beautiful, high-quality hotel rooms. The integrated baby monitor in the rooms worked excellently throughout the entire area and enabled many parents, including us, to have a great party ;) We have received nothing but positive feedback from all guests, including the little ones, and we are happy to give it from the bottom of our hearts further. You only celebrate a wedding once in your life (at best ;)) and we would celebrate ours here and only here again in a heartbeat. Thank you very much for the unforgettable time!

We had a conference here for 3 days and it's a nice hotel with lots of quiet corners. The lake is right in front of the hotel and there is a lot of nature. Many activities such as volleyball, canoeing, stand-up paddling. Inside there is a fireplace and sofas. The food was always very unusual and delicious. Unfortunately not good for people with walking difficulties as there are many steps.

We celebrated our wedding in the pottery house in July. The location right on the lake, the rooms and the possibility that all guests could spend the night there convinced us in advance to celebrate there. Communication and arrangements with Olena went smoothly.We were there with our family the day before the wedding and enjoyed a delicious dinner. A great start to the weekend.The wedding itself was great overall. Our guests were also very enthusiastic. Unfortunately, a few small things that we agreed upon in advance and recorded in writing on the Trello board were not fulfilled. Of course, only we noticed this and not our guests. Unfortunately, intolerances discussed for one person on both Friday and Saturday were not taken into account. That was of course very annoying. Since Olena was unable to attend that weekend, these little things may have simply been “lost” during the handover.Nevertheless, we would recommend everyone to celebrate a wedding in the Töpferhaus.

We had our wedding reception organized by the Töpferhaus in August and were completely thrilled. We had planned a summer wedding in a tepee tent, which we had to reschedule a little at very short notice due to the weather, but the team at the Töpferhaus demonstrated both flexibility and creativity. In general, the quick, reliable arrangements and the motto "on a first-name basis" enabled us to have a wedding like we were with friends and we were just happy.What's particularly great is the outdoor area with direct access to the lake and a large lawn, where all guests could have a great time with fire bowls, Viking chess, etc. The rooms, the entrance area and the restaurant, including a really good kitchen, were simply top notch!We would also recommend future brides and grooms to book service providers who cooperate with the Töpferhaus, as so many arrangements can be made very easily and uncomplicated and there is more time for anticipation.We felt very comfortable and are looking forward to celebrating one or two anniversaries with you again :)

I was invited to a wedding at this hotel. However, I didn't stay there so I can't say anything about the rooms.On the whole it was an ambivalent experience, the service was friendly but not very "interested".In terms of the menu, it was ok-ish, pompous corn pourlade on something, well, broiler leg with fried vegetables would have met my expectations better. By definition it's a little small and a little too medium towards the bone.The dessert was tasty, even if not everyone liked the pineapple and strawberries, but the cheese platter at the end was quite manageable for almost 20 people.All in all, if the weather is good, it's a very quiet (because there's almost no cell phone reception there) and a beautifully located restaurant, but it's better to put more local dishes on the menu because it wasn't really Brazilian/Portuguese.So, as is often the case, neither meat nor fish.

We celebrated our wedding at the Seehotel Töpferhaus. And if our friends, family and service staff hadn't been so incredibly great that day, it would have been terrible. …

More “appearance than reality”!The admittedly well-made website suggests more than it reflects in reality.As soon as we checked in, we were told that the showers in the sauna area wouldn't work, but that we were welcome to go to our room after the sauna session to cool off. This would mean that you would have to walk across the entire complex, as the only sauna (!) is located directly on the lake. The small fitness center was also closed!The complex is beautifully located, but does not reflect the beautiful pictures on the website.The catastrophe followed in the evening! We had reserved a table in the restaurant and went to the restaurant with great expectations to have a nice evening. We ordered a set menu, the starter was interesting and appetizing. The main course we both ordered was the Chateaubirand, which cost €49 per person. The food was served and we immediately noticed that the meat, potatoes and vegetables were not really warm. The food was more cold than warm! I then asked the waitress to take the food back with me and to prepare it again, i.e. not to "warm it up", as I wouldn't understand the idea of getting warmed up food for €100. The waitress took the main course back with her and disappeared after me I wanted to say for a few minutes that the food was warm and that this had been checked in the kitchen. When I asked her what exactly she wanted to tell me, there was no answer after a while.In the room in the restaurant there were about 6 tables where guests sat and complained to the waitress that evening about the poor quality of the food (too cold, bland taste or too long of a wait). There was no reaction or even an apology from the waitress/restaurant management. You were then ignored. There was a woman sitting at the table behind us with 2 children who had already complained after the starter and then she sat there for over an hour and no order was taken from her.Another guest at another table got up after about an hour and went to the waiters because he wanted to order something. Since the waiters had basically stopped serving, the guest had to get up to get something to drink.The next morning we continued with breakfast. The scrambled eggs that were just put out were also cold and cannot be described as “lukewarm”.The entire gastronomy seems to have no concept or leadership, there is obviously no competent restaurant manager, or at least she doesn't appear. The whole restaurant looks like it is run by trainees who have had no real gastronomic training. The service is terrible and unworthy of a four star hotel. The next evening, contrary to plan, we went out to eat. Through conversations with other guests, we learned that they had similar experiences the next evening.We can't imagine visiting this hotel again.

Our wedding in the tipi was an absolute dream. The location guarantees an unforgettable outdoor wedding with a breathtaking view of the lake. You can tell that the team, especially Olena and Peter, are passionate about planning and organizing the wedding. The rest of the team and the service also impressed with their friendliness and commitment. The fantastic food impressed all guests. The supporting program with beautiful rooms, a great dinner before the evening and breakfast the next day rounded off the overall package. We couldn't have imagined a better location for our wedding. Thank you!

We celebrated our wedding in the Pottery House and were very excited.The atmosphere in the tipi and throughout the area is fantastic. Directly on the lake in nature, the surroundings exude an eerie calm.Our contact person Olena accompanied us from the beginning and supported us. That took a lot from us. The pottery house responded well to our wishes, so that in the end everything was as we wanted.The food was great, the service was great. The collaboration with the service providers we selected (DJ, etc.) worked perfectly.

The Seehotel Töpferhaus is a true place of power! Located directly on the beautiful lake surrounded by nature with an incredibly cool sauna with a view of the lake and then you can cool off directly in the lake... The rooms are stylish and clean. You feel completely looked after, there are water and coffee/tea dispensers everywhere. There is a fireplace and the food is terrific. And no lie, it is the best breakfast buffet I have ever seen and tasted. The quality is great and you can taste it!I always enjoy coming back and it's my go to when I need a break from the turbulent city.

We were invited to a wedding and wanted to take advantage of the option to stay overnight there with our caravan. We booked a caravan parking space with electricity including breakfast by telephone beforehand. When we arrived there was no room for us at all. Cars had to be reparked, it was real chaos. In the end we stood right on the street, car next to car. The idea was to let our son sleep there. Due to the distance to the event, we decided late against it and went home. The next morning we wanted to at least get the breakfast fees refunded. My husband was told on the phone that you had to cancel 48 hours in advance. In our opinion, it wasn't very accommodating and the parking space didn't correspond to the description or expectations.The hotel is still in a fantastic location and the rooms are great.

A magical place right on the lake.We celebrated our wedding there. This was wonderfully perfect, especially because of our diverse service providers. :-*The hotel's organization went absolutely smoothly and noiselessly on site, the food was fantastically tasty and was praised by everyone! A small point of criticism: Our "bridal suite" was positioned in the middle of the other wedding party on site... so although strangers who wanted to know who we belonged to at their celebration greeted us nicely, our own guests were either accommodated in the other building or had to move over spend the night at the other celebration.The communication in advance also left us at a loss. Booking links became invalid, rooms were only granted to guests after repeated requests, despite a blocked quota.In general, the location itself is special and wonderfully romantic.

Our wedding reception was wonderful. The biggest thanks go to the staff. They all did incredibly well! Thanks also to Olena.Our wishes were listened to and we were always offered help. E.g. when transporting gifts.The new tent looks very nice, you did a great job, we really liked it. The fact that there were enough parking spaces was also great! The given schedule initially worried us because of the 3 p.m. check-in and start time. But many of the rooms were ready beforehand, which I think the guests really liked!The food also tasted very tasty.There is really hardly anything to wish for, we are 100% satisfied.We can recommend everyone to celebrate there.
