“Outstanding amongst country hotels”

From the moment we arrived the staff could not have been more helpful. We were traveling back through europe with a horsebox in tow (belongings, not horse!).

From the moment we arrived the staff could not have been more helpful. We were traveling back through europe with a horsebox in tow (belongings, not horse!). We had called ahead to ask it that was OK. They reserved an area which was taken by an unthinking guest. As a result they worked very hard to find a place in a very busy car park. The hotel is very popular indeed with local people becuase the food is so exceptionally good. The rooms are temendous. As are the grounds surrounding. Very highly recommended. Nothing could be improved. Part of the public approach road is an old access road, which might make you think you have made a wrong turning. It clears after 300 meters. A hotel to return to.

“We wish they had heard about insect nets...”

My husband and I had stayed at the hotel on a rainy day at this time last year. We enjoyed it and decided to go back for two days a couple of weeks ago.

My husband and I had stayed at the hotel on a rainy day at this time last year. We enjoyed it and decided to go back for two days a couple of weeks ago. This time the weather was beautiful, but the wasps were unbearable. We had a mini-suite on top of the restaurant which was terribly warm. There was a portable air conditioning which needed an open window to work, so using it meant wasps in the room. The restaurant doors are kept open, so wasps invite themselves in your plate during dinner. We only had one meal in the restaurant, which is a shame since the food and the service were really good. We decided to go out to have breakfast in another restaurant to avoid the wasps (even though it was included in the price). We are very happy with nature but when non invasive methods of keeping insects outside exist (such as insect nets), we wonder why the hotel does not invest in them.

“Nice frames, bad painting”

Beautiful countryside location (walking distance to Elbe-Lubeck canal Bussau lock). Very nice yard, beautiful house. Pleasant room, very clean. And restaurant on the same site is very good. However, there were also some problems. OK, that was just bad luck to enter same time as a bigger group. But … more

Beautiful countryside location (walking distance to Elbe-Lubeck canal Bussau lock). Very nice yard, beautiful house. Pleasant room, very clean. And restaurant on the same site is very good. However, there were also some problems. OK, that was just bad luck to enter same time as a bigger group. But later that evening another person at reception really could not care less. Breakfast was total chaos. So many customers. So little staff - and they really did not care. Finally got some coffee, that was cold and extremely bitter. Buffet was rather empty, too little staff to eat. Those few items were on very illogical order. Worst breakfast of our two week European tour. We had to pay. Nobody at reception, just a sign to call telephone number - but that mobile phone was there on the table, she did not carry it with her. Very rude attitude when she finally came - that woman working on 18th May was disgrace to whole Ringhotel.
