Landhaus Mühle Schluchsee — Restaurant in Verwaltungsgemeinschaft Schluchsee

We booked the dinner, bed and breakfast package through the website. Follow up emails from them were friendly. We took the time to walk up from the station in the late autumn sunshine, otherwise a transfer service was offered. The initial reception was friendly, with a welcome sekt and a tour of the small hotel. We would then use the wellness area with the other guests. The room was large and confortable. We were asked to come down to dinner in good time so we could have apperitives in the lounge. The only niggle with our stay was that when we went through to the restaurant we were offered another apperitive and then had to wait whilst the canapes were served with only water, to drink. Then the wine pairing started with the "proper" menu. Either the restaurant could serve the canapes to the guests in the lounge or offer a wine for the canapes in the pairing. The food its self were very accomplished classic flavours. The wine pairing passing well to each dish. We then had a good a la carte breakfast, which was ordered the night before. We could then make use of the late checkout included in the dinner, bed and breakfast, and use the wellness area privately for an hour, before again making use of the late autumn sun and walking along the...

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. From the start, Julie at the front desk was warm, kind, and incredibly helpful with both the booking process and throughout my visit. Even the drive over was pleasant, setting the tone for what turned out to be a wonderful experience.

The hotel itself felt both personal and accommodating. It wasn’t crowded, yet the atmosphere was lively while still relaxed. The bedding was luxuriously soft and high-quality, and I appreciated thoughtful touches like turn-down service and the beautifully written personalized notes left for me at arrival, dinner, bedtime, and breakfast.

Dining was a highlight. Dinner featured a pigeon ragout that stood out with its distinctive and memorable flavor. Since I don’t drink alcohol, I was especially impressed with the mocktails—each one unique and creative, far beyond the typical nonalcoholic options. Breakfast was equally indulgent, with a full spread that included Ossetra caviar over truffled scrambled eggs, a truly delightful start to the day.

Altogether, the experience was personal, indulgent, and...

Very charming hotel with lots of character both inside (light and airy, but with wooden beams, balconies and tasteful, new and modern fixtures) and outside as well (jacuzzi, small pool, manicured lawn with creek and lounge chairs). They even had a sauna. It felt like a zen-like oasis / fairy tale location (think Hansel and Gretel in an old charming wooden cottage) near a forest.||My biggest gripe is that we could not eat in the hotel restaurant for dinner as it was “fully booked”. Some sort of high Michelin rating. I looked in the doors of the restaurant area and could only see like 10 tables which were mostly 2-person tables. So I recommend reserving when you book.||Btw - the hotel seemed to cater to couples (no children below like 14) for special occasions.||The hotel does not have much of any view of Schluchsee (like 20min walk to actual lake which seems very pretty). Not sure what options would be there if you wanted to enjoy the lake (rent a boat, kayak, swim) during your stay (we only...
