Historic property with lots of charm
We had a wonderful two-week holiday in this delightful 400-year-old property. We love characterful old properties, and this one has it in abundance. As part of our holiday we visited the Open Air museum at Gutach, and noted the similarity of the farmhouses there to this one. My sister appreciated the framed illustrated certificates in her bedroom for members of the family that lived here in the early 20thC - a first communion, a marriage, and a poignant tribute to the son who was killed in action in WW1.
The hosts are fabulous. They were very friendly and very helpful. We were particularly impressed that they came to check we were ok after a violent storm that had felled some trees and damaged some houses in the area (thankfully not ours).
Others have mentioned the lack of a sofa and cosy armchairs. We simply brought some of the outdoor armchairs inside, and were happy with that.
The deer in the neighbouring field were a wonderful unexpected addition to our experience, particularly close by every day when the farmer came to feed them.
We enjoyed several hikes from the house, our favourite being a hike to Neuenweg in the neighbouring valley where we enjoyed lunch at Rosenstübchen, a very pretty guesthouse and outdoor café that to my delight included several vegan options (I’m allergic to milk) - a delicious wild mushroom soup and an incredible vegan Tiramisu!
Altogether we found this a perfect holiday base with lots of charm and stunning views.
