A very quaint hotel with great facilities. The pool was small but clean and the sauna too. Food cooked by the owner was excellent and breakfast was lovely with fresh bread and jams.
This hotel is tucked away and very unassuming. My family stayed here for a kids sports event in the area during the early spring season. The room was very comfortable and the staff was very friendly & welcoming. I imagine this would be a great place to stay in the warmer season with all of the activities available: horseback riding, biking, hiking, etc. The kids swam in the pool during our stay and had a fun time.

Unterkunft okay
Das Einchecken verlief sehr unprofessionell. Die Dame war am Telefon und schob uns den Schlüssel und Zettel zu. Null Info. Deshalb haben wir keinerlei Informationen zu anderen Angeboten erhalten. Wir hatten ein Zimmer im Hotel mit Service und Pflegeartikeln, lt. Beschreibung, gebucht. Bekamen eine Ferienwohnung. Welche sauber und okay war. Aber eben nicht gebucht.
Frühstück war okay , hätte gerne mehrere Sorten frisches Obst und Gemüse gehabt.Kaffee sehr dünn. Die Leute vom Frühstück waren sehr freundlich und fleißig.
Abends haben wir immer unterwegs gegessen.
Ich mag den Reiterhof Altmühlsee gerne als ruhige und günstigere Alternative zu den Hotels in Nürnberg. Gerade zu Messezeiten sind die Preise unschlagbar.
Das Team ist nett und immer bemüht uu helfen. Die Zimmer groß und mit Balkon und sehr sauber. Mir fehlt eigentlich nur ein kleiner Kühlschrank.
Abendessen ist ausgesprochen lecker, das Frühstück sehr umfangreich. Ich komme gerne wieder.
Moderne Zimmer, leckeres Frühstück, alle sehr freundlich und viel zu tun und entdecken für meine Tochter (6 Jahre). Gerne wieder!

Ridecenter Hotel
Langt ude på landet, men godt når man hurtigt skal finde et overnatningssted .
Restaurant lukket på søndage .
Fint værelse, det blev man lidt overrasket over da det er et hotel på et ridecenter.
Morgenmaden fin.

Nette Unterkunft für Familien
Für Familien bestimmt eine gute Adresse. Frühstück war an beiden Tagen um 7 Uhr leider noch nicht fertig und mittelmäßige Auswahl. Die Sauna ist reichlich renovierungsbedürftig. Sauna und Schwimmbad leider kein wohlbefinddn, recht ungemütlich. Sehr freundlicher und Familiärer Empfang.

Der Check in war alles andere als toll, der Pensionär war gefühlt sehr genervt
Danach ist uns nur noch mega nettes Personal begegnet
Die Zimmer sind sauber etwas in die Jahre gekommen
So eine tolle Dusche aber keine Ablage für Duschbad (schade das das nicht vom Hotel gestellt wird)
Qualitativ sehr gutes Frühstück

Das Bett war richtig toll, ansonsten ein älteres Hotel mit einigen Renovierungsbedarf
Unsere Tocher (12) war überglücklich mit den Reitstunden und Pferden. Die Reitlehrerinnen waren super! Mama und Papa waren glücklich mit dem Komfort, Essen und Service.
Die Lage des Hotels am Altmühlsee und, bisschen weiter, Brombachsee ist einmalig.
Auf der Durchreise übernachteten wir hier auf dem Land schön ruhig in einem geräumigen Zimmer.

Nettes Personal, ruhige Lage - etwas angestaubt
Wir waren für 7 Nächte dort untergebracht. Das Positive ist das gute Frühstücksbuffet, die ruhige Lage und das immer sehr freundliche Servicepersonal. Auch mit einer Einbauküche inkl. Kühlschrank hatten wir nicht gerechnet.
Negativ sind uns aufgefallen, dass die Beherbungsstätte etwas "in die Jahre" gekommen zu sein scheint, Sonnenschirm auf der Terrasse ohne Ständer (?), 2 Stühle auf der Terrasse bei 3 Personen-Belegung (?), Spinnweben im Zimmer, kleinere Schäden nicht ausgebessert sind und wir ein Zimmer über der "Raucherecke" des Personals hatten.
Die Möglichkeiten zur Nutzung des Reitunterrichts sind vielfältig und flexibel. Die Abendkarte im Restaurant müsste wesentlich mehr rotiert werden (abgesehen von dem täglich wechselden Menü), wenn man täglich Freude daran haben soll, im Hause zu verzehren.

Tolles Personal, tolles Essen super Zimmer, top wäre wenn Duschgel- haarschampoo auch da gewesen wäre
Die Dusche ist das absolute Highlight gewesen- Mega modern !!!
War ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt
Jederzeit gerne wieder !!

We stayed here one night as we travelled through Germany. The location is a bit out of the way, and is really suited to horse lovers, but it was okay for our needs. We had an upstairs room with a balcony which was okay but it was extremely hot and there was no air conditioning in the room. The WiFi was a bit patchy. The service from the folks there was nice and there was a good breakfast in the morning which was included in the price.
