We had a really nice and relaxing time here.We were well looked after and the food was really tasty and wholesome.My son particularly enjoyed the animals and the wooden horse on the farm. There is also a great playground directly above the farm.The ride to the next village and looking for eggs among the chickens was a huge experience for him.Many thanks to the Langer family and the friendly and hard-working staff on the farm.We'll definitely come back.Kind regards from us and all the best

We were allowed to be guests of the Langer family during the last week of the summer holidays in Baden-Württemberg.Our + points1. Super friendly and warm hosts. Approachable and authentic. Ms. Langer in particular completely captivated us with her style. We just always loved listening to her words2. Super friendly and warm staff3. Sustainable concept4. Regional, varied lunch. There are seconds for all meals as often as you want and we were always asked if we needed anything else and if everything was OK5. Special requests were gladly fulfilled and charged fairly6. Dogs & cats directly on the farm7. A special place where encounters and retreats are possibleOur - points1. In our opinion, the room was too small for four people to stay for a week. Especially the wardrobe2. Experience report from my 13 year old daughter: There are no longer any large horses (Haflingers). The ponies run the route they have learned in a conditioned manner and know when to walk, trot, canter, etc. This is definitely an advantage for children and adults without riding experience. For everyone else who comes from classic English riding training on large horses, it takes some getting used toThank you for a relaxing holiday week and the many wonderful encounters and conversations

Coming from the big city, we were looking for peace, simplicity, pure nature. It was supposed to be a break on a family-run farm.We were greeted warmly and shown around. Ms. Langer took her time, even though she was busy preparing dinner. I was impressed by how happy I was about my son; it was clear from the first moment that Ms. Langer loves children. Important to be able to relax yourself.Our room was farm-friendly - simple, clean, nothing was missing. We were under the roof and had a beautiful view of the farm, of nature, up to the fields where the combine harvesters and tractors drove at night to bring in the grain. I didn't sleep as well as I did in this far too short week. The silence at night, the darkness (the lanterns go out at night), the view of the starry sky, it was a great atmosphere. We slept with the windows open, the air was simply wonderful.The food was freshly prepared every day. The Langer family are self-sufficient, they pay attention to quality and the preparation of the food. The bread - a hit. Ms. Langer even makes the yogurt. The Langer family values ​​food and serves less so that nothing is thrown away in the end. You have the opportunity to reorder at any time; we were often asked if we had any wishes. The specialty lies in the freshness and quality of the food, not a lavish buffet, such as in a 5-star hotel. Fruit and vegetables are available according to the seasons. If you want more, get it.Children really get their money's worth on the farm. My son really wants to go back to the Langer family next year. In the morning, unlike in Berlin, he could easily go out into nature. He took part in farm life, went horseback riding, went to the pigs and the chickens, used the table tennis table, went up to the soccer field and played with other children. We went on a night hike, walked across meadows, through forests, listened to nature. We enjoyed the starry sky, which unfortunately we don't see in Berlin.Our point of criticismMy son wanted more eggs at mealtimes. Especially because he went with the chickens to get eggs. There weren't any. However, you had the option to order eggs as an extra, which we did. I spoke to Ms. Langer about it. I wanted to understand why that was. The answer impressed me. Because here too, we live sustainability. The eggs are available as the chickens lay them. The same number of eggs are not laid every day. A lot of eggs are needed in the kitchen to prepare the food, so there are not always enough eggs available to be able to offer eggs permanently.ConclusionMy son and I wanted a break on a farm in nature. We found them. We liked the careful handling of food; it stimulated thought. Ultimately, it is respect for animals, for work, for the natural cycle that we at least pay too little attention to in our everyday lives.The Langer family is friendly and authentic. They explain and ask again and again whether you are satisfied or have a wish. They have values ​​that they live and convey. A holiday at the Langer Hof is relaxing, encourages self-reflection and is grounding.A big thank you also to the Langers team. Especially to Natascha, one of the good souls on the farm, and Carsten, who showed strong nerves during the time in the forest and meadows - the children were in a good mood.We felt comfortable and left feeling refreshed - we'll definitely be back.Kind regardsSven Francke and Misha(August 4th - 10th, 2024)

How is such a divergence between negative and positive reviews possible?!I didn't understand that either during a personal visit a few years ago. Too frustrated about this, but also about my stay there, I decided not to write a review. In the meantime, however, I have experienced so many wonderful stays - elsewhere of course - and I now rate them regularly. It made me realize that since then I have never experienced anything even remotely more unpleasant than this guesthouse.

A cluttered room as a guest room! In front of a cupboard where you could probably have hung something, there was a table, a small table underneath, and in front of it a chair with armrests wedged between the wall and …

Very big disappointment! There is no humanity here.What we didn't like:-The farm is in a purely residential area, not in the great outdoors-the pictures on the website are deceiving- no animals on the farm (they are distributed throughout the village)- the owner was not nice to our children- we felt zero welcome-Our children pointed out to our neighbors that they were being too loud- the rooms were ok, but were not at all commensurate with the price of 99.00 per night.- Food rather mediocre. Bread, sausage & cheese morning and evening.- During the meal we prayed (not our case) / questions were asked like: "Where do they originally come from?" (everyday racism)short description of the experience:We had to leave at short notice and the owner didn't guarantee us any discounts or accommodations. Zero goodwill, no humanity, kept leaving the conversation and collecting the full €537 from us even though we were only there from Friday afternoon to Saturday morning at 9:00 a.m.Read the other reviews & this farm is absolutely not worth the money!

I now have to write another review because I am very shocked that this farm was included in the program by the holiday provider "Renatour". I know Renatour as a very good provider of (family) holidays close to nature. But the quality of this farm doesn't match the expectations I would have for a Renatour holiday!We were at the Pferdebrunnen farm in autumn 2021 and I already wrote a review back then, but it was probably deleted. I think that the Langer family is doing a pretty good job of reporting and deleting things, otherwise there would probably be even more bad reviews here.I agree with the other negative reviews here. It would be a bit too detailed to write down everything we experienced. So just briefly: the greeting and general interaction of the host couple with the guests is a disaster. You feel like a constant nuisance. If you have desires, you are framed as too demanding. Our wishes weren't great at all. For example, we had to wait in the cold for hours with a two-month-old baby until a young helper took pity and showed us the heated lounge. The rooms are poorly cleaned, the bathrooms are old and unkempt, towels are napkin-sized. The food is a bad joke. We had boiled potatoes for six days. It's just organic and regional - if you as a landlady don't want to spend any money, it means weeks of potatoes. At breakfast and dinner you have to constantly re-order because the plates are so stingy. The bread is homemade, but bad. If you can't bake properly with sourdough, you just have to add some yeast, otherwise the result will be something solid and mushy like what's served here.Personally, I can overlook many grievances if the personal interaction is right. However, the Langers couple are simply extremely unfriendly and sometimes even become abusive and insulting if you have wishes or even dare to express criticism. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be an isolated case if you read the Google reviews.We said goodbye in 2021 with the saying "If you want everything to be like home, you just can't travel." I would have almost laughed if the week's vacation hadn't been so expensive. It's a shame too, because the landscape around it is really beautiful.There are so many great holiday providers out there, choose another one but not this one!
