Hanselehof

Nice in itself, but: The farm definitely lives largely from the good reviews from times gone by. It seemed to us as if nothing was being replaced that wasn't essential.On the homepage you can see the beautiful past and today...... there is no longer “coffee & cake from the Hanselehof bakery”.... the 8 Angus cattle have decreased to 4 and are permanently in the pasture behind an electric fence (keeping suckler cows takes hardly any effort).... as far as we know, you can no longer buy your own meat or home-distilled meat. The 4 cattle would be a bit too few for that.... there are no more geese, only 2 older dachshunds and cats, all of which you rarely see, and only a goat and a donkey (which at least loves to be fed).... the water playground is no longer really great without any rubber seal (the water can no longer flow everywhere) and you have to wait more often until enough water has flowed under the handle pump again....there are only very cheap ingredients for the barbecue evening and everything is "trimmed to a minimum" at impressive "per person prices".... the table tennis bats and table football have already seen their best days.You can still find the signs of the "most popular holiday farm" in 2003, 2004 and 2008 (completion of the water playground was in 2007 😉), but that shows exactly what has happened in the last 10-15 years... not much new or renewed?Since, according to the homepage, so much emphasis is placed on sustainability, it would be nice at breakfast if more regional and high-quality food were offered. UHT milk is served here and the sausage comes out of the plastic packaging and is the cheapest thing you can buy. There are only rolls and eggs for breakfast, there is no cereal available. However, you always get enough and can always get more if you ask. On the one hand, this is economical, but on the other hand, it is also ecological. Honey and chocolate cream are available in small plastic packaging and are also “cheapest”. ATTENTION: Breakfast only from 8:30 a.m. We'll NEVER do that AGAIN. The children were half starving by the time breakfast was finally served and had already been to the donkey and the table football table in the morning.It's not clear to me what "full-time business" refers to, but you certainly can't generate any economic income with just a handful of cattle. Wood is definitely sold, but not in a way that you could look at (sustainable? ecological?). With the summer occupancy and the impressive prices, the farm definitely pays off over the guest rooms.the rooms themselves are functionally furnished, the beds are comfortable and everything is made of wood. We felt very comfortable there and the bathroom was very clean and felt quite new.I have the impression that the boss mainly delivers a one-man show and that much more is not possible for one person. But then letting everything languish on the back burner and promising the blue sky on the homepage naturally raises certain expectations among the guests.No question, there are definitely some very nice aspects to the farm: the farm is really very quiet and has a beautiful view. It's basically a dead end and the only cars that drive there are the guests at the house. Due to the many parties that are there in the summer, car traffic is of course to be expected at any time, which means that unsupervised play is not possible.For us, the decisive factor is the offer for the children and that is presented in a much too positive way on the homepage. We were really looking forward to the many things that were advertised there. The children definitely still enjoyed it, but we didn't tell them everything in detail.For us, the price/performance ratio is simply no longer right and next time we will look for a holiday farm with a real farm and animals.

We had a wonderful holiday with the Schmid family. Rooms were great for us and our own water playground was the highlight for our two children! In addition to cows and the goat, the donkey was particularly an attraction for the little ones! Thank you very much!

We were there for the second time and would love to come back. This time we had a large apartment in the main house and were happy with it. On a farm you shouldn't expect the hygienic standards of a 5* hotel and you can also get by with smaller facilities. The apartment could of course use a more loving touch and the mattresses could also be harder, but for a week it was great for us. You're outside all day anyway. Fly screens don't fit the atmosphere of a farmhouse, but we would have really liked it :) Otherwise, we agree with all the previous speakers - the location is a dream, remote and the kids can run and romp around without worry. The hayloft and water playground were our daughter's highlight and were used extensively.Everything is very uncomplicated, if you have any questions, criticism or tips for excursions you just have to ask. Sebastian likes to give weather-adapted suggestions that you can rely on. Even when the sun is shining, he brings a parasol so the children can continue splashing around in the playground.The campfire once a week with all the residents is of course another highlight. The kids ride in the back of the Unimog, the parents follow behind and you spend a wonderful evening on the meadow right at the summit in a relaxed atmosphere and you can watch the children grow up far too quickly...We never use the food there because we get up very early and could never afford the price. But you can also use the bread roll service and take care of yourself.Thank you for a week full of great memories

Very quiet location. A few opportunities for hiking/walking from the house. The house itself and the rooms are good. Downstairs in the common room there is a table football and a table tennis table. Breakfast was okay, could have been more varied. On both mornings, breakfast was brought when we were already seated

Very nice location and very nice views great in nature

The treatment itself was good, but we didn't like the food, almost the same breakfast/evening bread every day for 21 days.Child and educational psychologist Ms.Krischner (not sure) was my highlight, we could only hear her.Mr. Brown (Physio), the psychologist was also very nice,Reception top.Kitchen/staff/food, child care was mediocre.Rooms very clean and everything included. You have to stop there at the stated arrival time otherwise you will wait outside for 4-5 hours if you come earlier (after a long distance and with children).Spa treatments were good and we recovered.Thanks again.

Perfect for families

We (2 adults & 1 child) spontaneously spent the Easter days on this farm.The path from the main road to the farm is "adventurous", like a forest path, narrow but asphalted but with potholes, typical Black Forest... And then comes the clearing and the farm can be secured. Beautifully secluded and quiet. Sebastian, the owner, greeted you in a friendly manner and showed you the room. Very clean and enough space. Small bathroom, with shower, also clean. A small refrigerator and TV, 1 double bed and a children's bed complete the offer. In the morning there was breakfast at the place of stay.... I had rolls, butter and jam. Sebastian probably brings coffee, cocoa, boiled eggs or cuttings separately so that he doesn't have to throw away food. If there is a need for a second helping.... Of course he will bring it fresh.There is plenty of space for children to explore, there are numerous go-karts outside, there is a table football table and table tennis over there... A few meters further, there is a very nice playground... Or a barn with hay.4 cows, 1 goat, 1 donkey, 2 dogs can also be seen. Steffen the children feed the animals or go for a ride in the Unimog.For body and soul there is the possibility to use the sauna (for €) but you are alone and that is good for the soul. Just talk to him. Of course there is also internet.They don't offer lunch or dinner (anymore), but in the valley you can find restaurants where you can stop off.Anyone who wants to experience a farm should remember that it is not a luxury hotel. It smells like cow dung and you should adjust your expectations accordingly.There are also self-catering holiday apartments... but we didn't use these. We felt very comfortable and would be happy to pass on a recommendation.The price is also ok, considering the fact that we booked at (very) short notice.

Really nice, thank you very much for the lovely days!

We were able to (very spontaneously) spend a few very nice days at the Hanselehof. Our 2 boys really enjoyed the animals, vehicles, playground with water and the trampoline.We definitely plan to come back!The breakfast was cozy and served with nice old dishes. This made it very secretive and "quaint".Thank you for everything!
