Extremely friendly and helpful staff, the most polite that I have ever had at any hotel. Large comfortable room. Great breakfast with very fresh food and produce. Rural setting offers relaxing quiet and fresh air, but that is also one of the problems. We came for the Black Forest, and the location is too far north to take full advantage of the entire region. I would wholeheartedly reccomend it for a few days to use as a base for the attractions of the northern region before moving to a hotel further south. The other problem is that there is no air-conditioning which most of the year is not an issue, but we were there for a week of 30C+ weather. It was OK because we left in the morning and returned at night, but for guests who might spend more day time at the hotel, check the weather in advance.
