Heidehof is an art nouveau villa built in 1912 which served originally as a butcher`s shop and inn. Within its large grounds is a yard with outbuildings on three sides which was used for agricultural purposes.

Our family was able to acquire the property in 1999 and since then has methodically adapted and modernised it.

The house accommodates 3 holiday flats equipped to a very high standard. Here, in contrast to hotels and large guesthouses, you may design your stay according to your own preferences. Even if the weather is bad, you may spend a pleasant day in our comfortably furnished flats.

The large garden offers play facilities for children and a barbecue. Bicycles are available to guests.
