Ein echter Geheimtipp mitten im Ruhrgebiet! Ich hatte ein wunderbar großzügiges Zimmer mit toller Ausstattung und einer Aussicht ins Grüne, wie man sie hier kaum erwartet. Die Umgebung lädt direkt zum Joggen ein – über ruhige Feldwege, vorbei an Wiesen und Bäumen. Das Frühstück bietet auch vegane Alternativen – super, wenn man ein bisschen bewusster lebt. Besonders gefallen hat mir die ruhige, fast ehrwürdige Atmosphäre rund um das Gelände mit dem Golfplatz. Eine wirklich außergewöhnliche Kulisse, sehr zentral gelegen, aber trotzdem weit weg vom Trubel. Das Personal war durchweg freundlich, unaufdringlich und angenehm authentisch. Hier ist irgendwie an alles gedacht – ohne dass es aufgesetzt wirkt. Definitiv nichts für Schicki-Micki-Liebhaber, sondern eher für Menschen, die Ruhe, Natur und Stil zu schätzen wissen. Ich komme gerne wieder!

Rustig gelegen en lekker ontbijt

Heel aangenaam verblijf gehad in het gastenhuis. Zalig rustige omgeving en lekker ontbijt. Vriendelijk personeel, ook de link met sociale tewerkstelling waardeer ik enorm. Ik heb dit hotel geboekt samen met mijn zoon omdat ik naar een concert ging in Gelsenkirchen, een stad verderop. Een aanrader. En als je wat brandhout meeneemt kan je gebruik maken van vuurput in het midden van de tuin, goed om te weten moest ik hier nog eens passeren.
