Gutshaus Stolpe

Location: Stolpe, a small village in Germany.

Notes About My Experience:

Located in the small village of Stolpe, but completely quiet and feels like a very remote countryside hotel.
Warm welcome from the receptionist. She escorted me to the room, and somehow tried to say she didn’t speak much English, so I got the introduction in Germany.
The room was similar to many of the Relais & Châteaux hotels I have stayed in Europe with an “old school” design. The bed wasn’t very soft, but comfortable. The rain shower wasn’t separate from the bathtub but worked well.
Complimentary fast internet access with over 10 Megabyte per second in download, and just under one in upload.
I had a nice walk in their big garden. The hotel has very beautiful surroundings, and I really liked how quiet it was.
Great food at their Michelin-starred restaurant. Björn Kapelke is a talented young chef who joined Gutshaus Stolpe recently. We had a great conversation before the dining experience.
The breakfast was basic, especially compared to the dinner the night before. A way to improve this hotel experience would be to develop a menu of good dishes prepared by the chef.
Excellent value for money. It’s one of the cheapest Relais & Châteaux’s, and for the price, it is in my opinion great value.

Duration of Stay/Visit: One night.

Why did I Select This Hotel? It’s membership of Relais & Châteaux.

My Opinion: Great experience.
