“Lovely, secluded holiday resort in the country side”

We stayed here only for a night, but from what we saw, we wished we had had the possibility to experience this place for a longer period. This is definitely a place where you come to spend a longer holiday. This is a bigger complex with various room/house types. We had a studio, which consisted of… more

We stayed here only for a night, but from what we saw, we wished we had had the possibility to experience this place for a longer period. This is definitely a place where you come to spend a longer holiday. This is a bigger complex with various room/house types. We had a studio, which consisted of a bedroom with a dining area, a kitchenette, a bathroom with a bath tub, a closet and a small patio. Only downside we experienced was the smell on paint in the room when we arrived. There were also scaffolds right outside the window of our room. I believe people mainly come here by car, and there were loads of parking places and they even have spot where you can wash your windshield! This came handy since our windshield was filled with dead bugs. The place is also surrounded by forest and by the water, so there are lots of mosquitoes in the evenings during summer time at least. There’s lots to explore around the premises. We enjoyed watching the different animals (donkeys, alpacas, goats, rooster & hens). The location by the water is beautiful and there was a swan swimming close to the shore line. You can also book sauna by the water if you want or take a morning swim in their pool. There’s a huge lawn where you can sit in a shaded chair or sunbath. If you’re feeling more adventurous, you can even rent a boat. There’s also a nice playground for kids there. Since our visit was very short as we were passing by, we didn’t have hotel breakfast.

“Quiet, Secluded, Unique Hotel”

This hotel consists of several small buildings in the woods next to one of Schwerin’s famous lakes. The buildings are all pretty well spread out so expect a short stroll to the restaurant in the main building. I have heard, but cannot confirm, that this was a hunting lodge for Egon Honecker in the old East Germany period. Now a days there are a couple alpacas, donkeys, some chickens (and rooster), plus a friendly cat. The rooms are fine with lots of light and nicely furnished. The pool looked good. The Spa also looked impressive. The restaurant had a limited menu but everything I had was excellent. The duck with pumpkin was very tasty. Staff is very friendly. It is about 5 miles north of Schwerin so going there to eat can be difficult.

“This Hotel Merits 3 Stars”

Interesting lakeside hotel with a friendly staff. Surroundings pleasant. Respectable breakfast presentation with a variety of items to select. The rooms were sparse and the television had poor reception with no international channels limiting one to German, but difficult for non German speakers. The restaurant in the evening was understaffed although the persons working were doing their best. We saw several persons leave because of the slow service and did not order. The dishes we ordered left a lot to be desired, eggplant and a fish dish. Quite mediocre. With further regard to the room amenities, the towels felt old and abused almost like sand paper. This should not be. By 12 30 pm nobody had been around to change our towels or make the beds. We don’t know if it was because they were understaffed or nobody working on Sunday? In resumes it is what it is and I generously award this hotel only 3 stars.

“Quite far out of town”

This was a tour bus hotel that was further out of town than we expected. Room OK, but one couple in our group was housed next to a sauna and their room was exceedingly hot. Too tired to get in the car to try a restaurant in town. So we were captive of the hotel restaurant. It, too, was OK. But … more

This was a tour bus hotel that was further out of town than we expected. Room OK, but one couple in our group was housed next to a sauna and their room was exceedingly hot. Too tired to get in the car to try a restaurant in town. So we were captive of the hotel restaurant. It, too, was OK. But you had to dodge the hordes of bus guests to get a spot. Acceptable, but hardly great. It's got a water-side location, which we didn't take advantage of.
