Gasthof Holtz

Breakfast was good, and the rooms were quiet and spacious.

Apartment 7 feels idyllic, with access through a peaceful garden full of raised beds, places to sit, and sun loungers. The hostess welcomed us so warmly, showed us around, and explained how everything worked. She was incredibly kind and friendly. We’re here for the weekend, and I’m thrilled. I have high standards for a relaxing break, but this is just right if you want peace and quiet. It’s surrounded by nature, and the nearest shops are under a 10-minute drive away. The apartment itself is a dream. I don’t understand the negative comments about the furnishings, everything works together perfectly to me. There’s a fully automatic coffee machine, a kitchen with a stove, oven, and dishwasher, plus a large fridge with a small freezer compartment. The sofa is big and comfortable, and there’s a cozy armchair too. The bedroom is separate and has a vanity. The bathroom has a large tub for relaxing and a washing machine. I haven’t felt this relaxed in a long time.

We noticed the roadside sign while passing through and thought we’d stop at the restaurant for a break. It was closed, and someone spoke to us rudely over the intercom and told us to leave. No one asked if they could help, and there wasn’t even an apology. We came away with the impression that guests aren’t welcome. Very unfriendly.

The garden and outdoor area are large, with lots of places to sit, and there’s a shed where you can charge bicycles. I stayed for one night on a cycling trip, and the hotel is right on the Baltic Sea Cycle Route. The hostess greeted me very warmly and gave me a thorough introduction. My double room was very clean, with coffee-making facilities and complimentary water. The decor was more elaborate than I’d prefer, but that’s a matter of taste. Just note that there’s no evening restaurant. I skipped breakfast, though the breakfast area looked inviting, and the food looked delicious and fresh.
