Restaurant Hotel Landgasthaus Neues Bild — Restaurant in Schwende-Rüte

About a 5 minute drive from Appenzell, surrounded by rolling hills and the sound of cow bells, we were greeted by a warm and friendly welcome. This is a family owned and operated B&B and you can tell from the moment you walk inside, Corinne and Erich have pride in their property and what they do. Attention to detail sets this place apart. Everything you need to feel welcome, relaxed and comfortable has been thought of here. ||The family seem to know everyone in Appenzell and everyone seems to know them - there is a real sense of community here. As international guests to the area, the local knowledge and advice we were given was very helpful (Corinne speaks English, her husband Erich doesn't). ||Rooms were clean and very comfortable - plenty of room for two and ample storage/hanging space in the wardrobe. The only negative (for us it was a very small one) - there are stairs - no lift/elevator. Erich is happy to assist with transporting suitcases if need be.||The food was fresh and delicious (locally sourced). They have a restaurant on site which serves dinner a few nights each week - Erich does all the cooking. Also a great wine and local beer selection too.||The location lends itself to being a perfect stop over for the avid bush walker/hiker, however it is also perfect for those looking for something just out of town - quiet, country, with a welcoming/relaxed family feel and yet close enough to discover Appenzell and...

A gem in the rolling green hills of Appenzeller! The hostess was warm and welcoming like we were friends arriving. The room was spacious and spotless and the shower was one of the best we’ve had on the road. Literally dozens of trails available for hikes or bikes right outside the door but also close to the famous hikes of the area. We will definitely return! Especially for the food! Dinner...
