Das Waldhaus Winterberg

Breakfast was great, and the lounge has a cozy fireplace, though it's often not lit. We got pleasantly large rooms on two visits, but on the third the room seemed not to have been renovated in years. The bathrooms also feel a little dated.

The room was spacious, with a nice view and a comfortable bed, and it was reasonably clean. The building is aging and could use some repairs. The shower had no ventilation, which was a major downside for me, and some staff weren't helpful when I didn't speak German.

We booked through a package deal with Voordeeluitjes and were especially pleased by how friendly and attentive the Bosman family were. We enjoyed the dinners, and breakfast was extensive, with the bread basket regularly replenished with warm, fresh rolls. Our comfort room was good. There are many stairs and steps, which could be difficult for older guests with limited mobility. Otherwise, we have only praise.

We stayed for two nights, and everything from the bar to the hallways and rooms was spotless. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, and they always looked for a solution whenever I had a question or request. The rooms have an old-fashioned style, which didn't bother me, though the bathroom could use an update. If star ratings aren't a concern for you, I'd recommend this place.
