What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Thank you for being so communicative, welcoming, and accommodating to our group of vegan and vegetarian, and even a non-german speaker :D This whole place is rustic charming and the freshly baked morning Semmeln are the best!”
“Die Zimmer sind sehr individuell. Unser Bett war absolut top, wir haben super geschlafen. Die Gastgeberin ist sehr nett und total sympathisch, das lässt einen über manches hinweg sehen. Was wir allerdings sehr loben ist das tolle Essen im Lokal, das leider, wie wir erfahren haben, ich glaube zum Jahresende schließt. Das ist mit Sicherheit nachteilig, wir haben die Unterkunft gewählt weil hier ein Restaurant, angeboten wird.”
“Antje ist die Seele des Hauses! Die Ferienwohnung hat uns gut beherbergt. Die Küche des Schmankerl-Restaurants ist ausgezeichnet und die regionalen Produkte ... großartig! Antje verwendet alles, was Ihr Garten hergibt und ist dabei sehr zeitgemäß und kreativ. Wir sind sehr dankbar, dass wir so herzlich aufgenommen wurden.”
“Super nettes Familien Hotel! Wir waren mit einer Gruppe zu Besuch und wurden bestens untergebracht und verköstigt. Antjes Küche ist einfach wunderbar lecker. Die Auswahl ist riesig und fällt einem sehr schwer, zumal wir nur 3Nächte dort verbracht haben. Auch ihre Eigenprodukte sind sehr zu empfehlen!”
