Relais & Châteaux Gutshaus Stolpe

We were really looking forward to our stay in the Gutshaus. We were a little taken aback by the first photo on the booking e-mail, which shows an old Porsche in front of a dilapidated barn. The room was ok, even if the price-performance ratio wasn't quite balanced in our opinion. The staff was super friendly and very accommodating. That's probably one of the hotel's big plus points. The wellness area is very inviting and tastefully furnished. The sauna itself seems a little bit small, but that was no problem. What was a bit unusual was that you had to walk across the dark courtyard to get to the wellness area. This is also the case on the way to the alternative restaurant, the Old Fährkrug. A little more light on the bumpy road would be helpful. Especially when wet. So what is extraordinary about this location? Certainly the staff, certainly the absolutely quiet location and the beautiful surroundings. But you definitely come here, at least we do, because of the cuisine. Chef Christian Somann and his team surprised us in an unusual and absolutely impressive way. What an evening! Very great art! Unusual combinations, balanced flavors, artistic arrangements. That's why it's worth coming here and we'll definitely come back.

We were really looking forward to our stay in the Gutshaus. We were a little taken aback by the first photo on the welcome page, which shows an old Porsche in front of a dilapidated barn. But that was probably a relic from times gone by. The room was ok, even if the price-performance ratio wasn't quite balanced in our opinion. We had imagined something different for a manor room for this price. So be it. The staff was super friendly and very accommodating. That's probably one of the hotel's big plus points. Unfortunately, this is counteracted by the fact that you almost break your ankles in the dark on the way to the alternative restaurant, the old Fährkrug. All the stables are lit, but the path is pitch black. The wellness area has a similar problem. You have to walk across the yard and all the lights are off even though it's already dark at 5 p.m. in November. It is very inviting and tastefully furnished, even though the sauna at home is larger than the one here. So what is extraordinary about this location?

Beautiful well kept property & grounds on the river. Very friendly staff apart from the porter on arrival, not particularly helpful. Bedroom was quite tight with all the furniture in it. Small mini bar with water, cokes & 1 beer. Turn down was literally pulling curtains and leaving a chocolate. No fresh towels or bins emptied. Other hotels of this standard provided much more indebt service. Breakfast was excellent with eggs cooked to order. Unfortunately the One Michelin restaurant was not open due to staffing difficulties so we ate in the hotels restaurant both nights, which offered fine dinning experience. Dishes were well presented, extremely flavoursome & excellently served. There is another more rustic restaurant by the river which we hope to try on another visit. The grounds, terraces & out door pool areas where beautifully kept.

Perfect stay and impeccable service. Thanks to the team
