We received a very warm welcome and had a great stay. Without exception, all employees were very friendly and courteous at all times. The room was very spacious and very clean. The meals were very diverse, varied and very successful. We also really liked the large selection of freely accessible drinks at any time. The hotel is very, very nice, modern and clean. The outdoor area is also lovingly prepared and very well maintained. The location near Willingen is a great starting point for numerous excursions and activities. The excursions offered by the hotel are also nice. We thank you for a great time and will definitely come back soon.

We went on an all-inclusive holiday for the first time and were thrilled. Extremely friendly staff, delicious buffet food and there is a lot on offer for the guests. Excursions to the mountain with a gondola ride, visiting the dairy farmer, feeding and petting the animals. Cozy afternoon with popcorn and bread sticks around the campfire and much more. We were thrilled and will definitely be back soon.

My children and I came back from our short vacation yesterday. It was the first time that I booked a family hotel and I really loved it. I was actually able to relax and the kids had a lot of fun.The farm offers a manageable number of options for activities, so that no one is overwhelmed and the children quickly find their way into playing with other children. The extra excursions offered by the farm are great. With the MeineCard you can plan additional activities at no additional cost.The food was great and there was something for everyone. The farm tries to use regional food, which I think is great. I myself have a gluten intolerance, which the kitchen accommodated well. What I found particularly great was that you could also pack a packed lunch if you were planning a trip.The children were able to take advantage of childcare options and I, for example, could relax in the relaxation room. I also tried the massage offer. Also only recommended.The rooms are a bit noisy and you have to cross a street if you want to see the animals. My children are relatively tall, but for smaller ones this could be a minus point. However, the road is not busy.We will definitely come back because we had a lot of fun and I have never come away from a vacation feeling so relaxed.Many thanks to the Ottonenhof team for their time and the VERY friendly support. This needs to be highlighted here. Everyone was nice and very child-friendly.

We stayed at the Ottonenhof for 1 week and were thrilled. In its idyllic and quiet location, the Ottonenhof is a real oasis of well-being for families with kids and teens. The hosts and staff are very friendly and accommodating. A special highlight for us were the regular excursions with the Ottonenhof bus to exciting destinations in the surrounding area. The animals on the farm were also great, especially the goats that captured our hearts.

Daniela Galinovic5/553 minutes ago on  GoogleHad a fantastic holiday with nice people. Our children were so well-balanced, the phrase *I'm bored* was never used. Our apartment was very, very clean, which I never had on our previous vacations. The chef is fabulous - regional food, which some restaurants can't manage. The staff are always very hard-working, friendly, helpful and try very hard to ensure that the guests don't lack anything. It's great what a family atmosphere there is there. Big compliments to everyone - thanks for that

My daughter (5 years old) and I are still blown away by this great and relaxing vacation. As a single mother, my plan was to get some vacation without my daughter missing out. And this hotel, along with the top team at all levels, enabled me to do exactly that and far exceeded my expectations. The concept is so well thought out, we didn't miss anything. A clean and stylish hotel, run and lived by people with heart. The food was very varied and delicious! We felt at home straight away and my daughter received such an incredibly diverse program. We'll definitely be back! Many thanks to the whole team <3

We stayed here for a short vacation and loved it. The hotel is very quiet and it's great to switch off. The entire staff is very friendly and accommodating. We also liked the relaxed atmosphere and the warm manner of the hosts. The Happy Club has great offers for all children. Every day there were nice craft activities and the children had a great time playing. We'll come again :)
