I only stayed here for 2 nights as I was 'passing through' on my way from München to Castelrotto/Seiser Alm in northern Italy.
The place is an extended farmouse, quite a large building, where most rooms have a view of the mountains and surrounding area. I stayed in one of the rooms on the side and did not have a view, but it was ok anyway, and since it was quite hot at the time, it was really nice to not have direct sunlight into the room. They seem to have built a further extension outside, as there was an extra 'living room' outside the room itself, but with the original windows still in place. While this wasn't used much and wasn't really complete, it will be even better in time, I am sure.
The farmouse lies next to another farm where the 'dung exit' strangely enough points in the direction of the road (Höhenweg), so there is a bit of smell from it. But none of it was noticed in the room itself. At night, there was a lot of croaking from the local frogs in the pond just below the landhaus.
The room itself is classical Bavarian with lots of wood, white walls and dark ceiling. It is charming and pleasant, and the place is spotlessly clean. The bathroom was fairly small though, and although a shower cabinet is very welcome in my eyes, the placement of the toilet meant you actually collided with the sink when sitting down.
Breakfast is a good variety and better than most smaller places of similar style - nothing to complain about here! And the hostesses are hospitable, yet unobtrusive.
I have already written about the area in my previous reviews, as this is the third place I have stayed at in Hopfen am See. The aim here was to go for a walk around the lake, as well as have a small visit to the old part of Füssen (for the first time..shame!) and a visit to Hohenschwangau by night - it is beautifully floodlit!
All in all it was a great place to stay, and pretty good value for money at 100 € per night for two persons including breakfast. I must admit I miss my views directly onto the Hopfensee though :)
