This is a family planned and run hotel and pride of ownership shines through in every respect, from friendly service to cleanliness, maintenance and overall ambiance. The grounds have been thoughtfully laid out, the wellness area, pool, sauna and exercise facilities are nicely designed. We enjoyed the restaurant both nights of our stay and were happy with the,quality of food and service. Our room was spacious and we especially enjoyed the patio. We used the hotel bikes to do a one day tour through the Spreewald. The easy, flat, 40km route took us through amazing areas interspersed with tiny canals and charming Lehde and Lubbenau. There are numerous opportunities for sightseeing, cafes, and souvenir shopping besides the wonderful drowned forest. The welcoming atmosphere at the hotel added greatly to the trip and we don't hesitate to recommend it as a couple's getaway spot or as a base for exploring the Spreewald.
