Schönes, gemütliches Ambiente, der Ausblick aus dem Speisesaal sehr schön!
Pros:

Das Frühstück war sehr gut! Das Menü am Abend war uns etwas zu üppig; vor allem der Hauptgang war "normal" groß, bei einem Gängemenü darf er etwas kleiner sein. Die Betten waren sehr bequem, das Zimmer hübsch renoviert.

Cons:

Die Dusche war offen, konnte nicht durch eine Tür geschlossen werden. Die Beleuchtung über dem Waschbecken war mit dem Licht in der Dusche und der Lüftung kombiniert, so dass die Lüftung leider auch anging, wenn man nur kurz vor dem Waschbecken etwas Licht brauchte. Aber wirklich schlimm ist das nicht.

We had an awesome weekend at Frohe Aussicht and would return again. Thank you!
Pros:

The location and the attention of the owners and staff. A family business where you can feel home.

Cons:

The bathroom, the size and the location of the toilet respectively felt rather uncomfortable. Especially for bigger people it can be a challenge to move around in the tiny bathroom.
