Just had a lovely dinner at their restaurant. Quiet and comfortable atmosphere with attentive service. Dishes are certainly aspired to offer an experience of fine dining. So long you're not expecting a michelin star level, you'll be reasonably satisfied. One of best restaurants in the area.

This is a review of the hotel AND restaurant.

Hotel first: we had a wonderful stay in this romantic and remotely located castle-hotel. The rooms come in different shapes and sizes from modest in the annex next door, to spacious and castle-like in the main building. Bathrooms are modern and spotless clean.

The hotel itself is located on top of a small mountain in a forrest with a wonderfully romantic park. The location is also very quiet.  Few other sounds than the birds chirping.

Breakfast served at the table was of excellent quality and quantity. I probably never had such good quality bread in a hotel.

The restaurant: we had a 3 course menu. Each and every dish was somehow unique or interesting in terms of composition, tastes and visuals. We were absolutely blown away. The same can be said for the wines so competently selected and served with regional Franconian as well as Austrian and other wines on the menu.

Conclusion: The price for value in both hotel and restaurant was absolutely stellar. The experience was exceptional and we hope to come back for a special occasion like a wedding anniversary or just if we feel like treating ourselves to a great and memorable dinner. I think 5 stars are well deserved in every category.

P.S. The team currently running hotel and restaurant apparently started in the fall of last year (2020). Older reviews might thus not properly reflect the current service.

The ambience is great, great rooms and the cooking is outstanding. I particularly enjoyed the wine pairings with very interesting introductions by the hostess. Will stay here again.

We had a wonderful time.  The staff were excellent, likewise was the food excellent. Our room was very comfortable and warm, needless to say, clean and inviting.
We could find nothing to complain about.
Maybe we're just easily pleased but pleased we were.
Worth every penny. We enjoyed our anniversary stay here.
Thank you!
