Auf Ihrer Website wir für das Restaurant geworben. Allerdings hat Restaurant seit dem 01.01.2014!!! zu. Gelinde gesagt, finde ich das eine Frechheit von booking.com

I loved everything.
Pros:

I stayed in for a couple of days, trying to rest from all my backpacking walking. It felt like a retreat. Peace, quiet, amazing breakfast, helpful and caring staff, a delicious beer in the evening. It was all I could ask for, before I had to hit the road again. Thank you so much for your beautiful place.

Verdunklung der Fenster, Matratzen zu weich, beim Duschen stand das Bad unter Wasser, weil nur ein Abfluss und keine Abtrennung vorhanden war 🤨

A simple hotel with a traditional German feeling, nice restaurant and beer garden.
Pros:

There was a characterful restaurant available for an evening meal and the food was good, although there was a very long wait for it. The balcony, partly overlooking countryside, was a pleasant little outside space additional to the bedroom. The mattress was very firm, which I like, and the bedding was spotlessly clean.

Cons:

The shower, clearly designed for disabled use, made it impossible to avoid water going all over the floor.
