What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“We stopped off here recently after having phoned earlier to check that they were open for dinner and would accept us with our dog. We parked for free in front of this establishment, we were greeted warmly and settled in a quiet part of the the surprisingly large, but cosy restaurant. After ordering our drinks we chose from a nice, traditional German styled menu. I went for a steak with pepper sauce and french fries. It was served with a nice side salad. My wife went for a goats cheese based starter followed by turkey with spinach and melted cheese. All very delicious. The lady looking after us was polite, friendly and very efficient. The decor here is very traditional and a little outdated but ideal for a cosy evening dinner. The toilets were also old style but spotlessly clean. All great!”
“Really nice home from home type of hotel. Friendly family run. Very clean and neat. The breakfast was really good and the restaurant is superb. Excellent food, reasonably priced and huge portions. The only negatives, I found the bathroom was very small and the Internet connection want so good. But overall. A very nice B&B style hotel. I'd stay here again.”
