The breakfast was a continental style, set out on each table, i.e. not a buffet. It was nice (cold meats, cheese,...bread, scrambled egg, jam, tea/coffee and fresh) but there was no juice and no choice. Sometimes, they had to be reminded to bring everything. The rooms are more b&b-quality than hotel-quality. Each has en suite but the bathroom floor tiles were broken and we had to run the hot water for about minutes before it became even warm. The TV was an out-of-the-ark CRT set and the set-top-box (tuned to the Astra satellite) only gave us channels, none of which was English-language. The room looked as if it was furnished in the The wi-fi works in some parts of the building. At check-out, the only card they accept is a debit card with the EC symbol (they don't seem to go for Mastercard or Visa), so I had to make a quick trip to the next village to find a cash machine.

The space itself is rather quaint and the closest I have seen in the area to a traditional German family restaurant. Expect a low ceiling, interesting old-times decoration with beer mugs and old paintings as well as a no-frills service. Which is frankly what I prefer (restaurants in the area are often either chains or cater too much to students and tourists). But the most exceptional thing is, of course the food, typically some kind of local meat (wild boar, deer etc slowly cooked with its accompanying sauce and then the baked potatoes and red cabbage. All are among the best (if not the best) I have had in the area. Expect to pay a bit more than usual it should amount to about euros/person with drinks but it is well worth it.

But the 5 stars are deserved.
