Guest Reviews:
- "A lovely small hotel set on the crest of the rolling hills with amazing territorial views of nothing-but/green landscape. The indoor pool is nicely sized and cool enough to swim some laps. The breakfast buffet appeared small but was not - there was plenty to choose from and high quality selections, and my dinner one night was just delish! I will come back if I’m anywhere close to this part of Germany again! Well done ☺️" - "The rooms were very clean and simply gorgeous! We had an amazing view of the courtyard directly from our bed. The staff was excellent and the breakfast fresh and tasty. I really recommend a stay here!"
