Hello, we called ahead because the kitchen was actually already closed. We were kindly allowed to come over anyway - and that was really a stroke of luck! The food was excellent and we particularly liked the taste of the salad with the meal. The service was attentive and extremely friendly. Thank you for the great hospitality!

We ate here with my family. It is recommended to reserve in advance. There are plenty of places, but better safe than sorry.We can't rate the rooms because we didn't stay overnight. Sanitary facilities were clean and tidy. Guest rooms too. The food was very good, prices really reasonable. The time from ordering to serving was absolutely fine. Menu was clear.A small "point of criticism" - at least one dish could be "incorporated" as vegetarian. Otherwise there is nothing to complain about on our part. The service staff was very friendly. We were satisfied.There are parking spaces available opposite the inn and directly in front of the house.
