Feeling good with “landlust”
With my’n family a stayed for four days in this lovely appartement. The look and feel of the appartement was original and let us feel instantly at home. The owners even decorated the house with lots of Christmas things and lights (we went the days before Christmas). The house is cosy and with enough space at the same time. Also the kitchen is well designed with enough equipment. For just being “out side in the country” a perfect place!

Nice, clean apartment and friendly owner
This large apartment was very clean. The owners were attentive and friendly and spoke English. Nice patio out back. Although we did not cook or eat there, the kitchen was well stocked with all the necessary items (pots & pans, dishes, glassware, utensils, etc.). Propane gas stove top. Bigger-than-average refrigerator for Germany, along with a freezer section. While this three bedroom apartment was a bit large (and expensive) for only two people, the physical location was ideal for our needs, and staying there worked out quite well for us.

Great group-stay location with super-friendly owners
With a group of cyclists we were the first to stay in this newly refurbished location. The owners are super-friendly and did more than their best to help us out, it was great meeting Guido and Claudia and any feedback we had for improvements was quickly taken care of or was already planned. The surrounding area is amazing for activities like cycling, hiking and touring around. There is plenty to see and do for active people but at the same time if you want to come to a peaceful and quiet surrounding this is also the place to be. We usually spent our evenings in the town of Bitburg which is close-by. The house itself is very charming and very comfortable after returning from a long day out. The space is large enough for groups up to 10 people or even more. We can really recommend this place!

Die alte Schmiede ist ein fantastischer Ort zum Verweilen. vor allem, wenn Sie Ruhe und Frieden mögen. Supermärkte und Sehenswürdigkeiten sind mit dem Auto in kurzer Entfernung zu erreichen. Guido und Claudia haben uns herzlich empfangen. Das Haus ist komplett ausgestattet. Viel Platz drinnen und ein schöner Garten zum Verweilen draußen.

Tolle Unterkunft
Wir waren überrascht über die Größe der Unterkunft. Es ist größer, als es auf den Fotos wirkt. Gemütliche Schlafzimmer und ein toller Garten mit Pool und Trampolin. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Genügend Ausflugsziele sind auch in der Umgebung. Kann diese Unterkunft absolut weiter empfehlen und würde auch jederzeit wieder kommen.

Weekend Messerich
Wij, een groep van 6 fervente trailers, hebben dit verblijf gevonden omdat wij graag een keer in het Mullerthal in Luxemburg wilden lopen. Messerich is hier een half uur van verwijderd. Het appartement was schoon en erg ruim. De keuken heerlijk gezellig met een hogere tafel met barkrukken. We hebben een geweldig weekend gehad. Het enige nadeel is dat het iets gehorig is. Krakende vloer en piepende deur. Aan de andere kant heeft dat ook zijn charme, maar als je nachts naar het toilet moet kan dat best hinderlijk zijn. Ook is het jammer dat er een badkamer is en in de badkamer het enige toilet. Dat is voor een groep van 6-8 mensen niet onoverkomelijk maar zeker niet handig.

Mooi, groot huis
Het huis was ingedeeld in verschillende compartimenten. Helaas was het moeilijk om het huis warm te krijgen. Er stond een houtkachel en voldoende hout maar er waren niet genoeg zetels om hier gezellig bij te zitten. Praktische keuken (die helaas te koud was om in te eten), goede bedden, mooie tuin. Gelegen in een afgelegen dorpje, de ideale uitvalsbasis voor de Mullerthal Trail.

Riesiges Apartment
Das Apartment hat mit seiner Größe überzeugt. Über drei Etagen Mit mehreren Schlafzimmern sowie einem großen Wohnzimmer und Garten kann man dort eine super Zeit verbringen. Zudem gibt es eine direkte Busverbindung zur Bitburg Erlebniswelt, was für uns ein klarer Vorteil war. Die Ausstattung hat unsere Erwartung vollsten erfüllt. Allein der Backofen hat uns vor einer Herausforderung gestellt.

Heerlijke vakantie gehad!
We hebben een goed verblijf gehad in de Oude Smederij van Guido & Claudia. Het huis en de tuin zijn heerlijk ruim en zo is er altijd een plekje waar je kunt lezen, eten of een spelletje kunt doen. De bedden zijn prima en het huis blijft lekker koel op warme dagen. De keuken is prima in orde (alleen de oven werkt niet goed). Tijdens ons verblijf waren de eigenaren buiten druk bezig met het creëren van nieuwe parkeerruimtes, dit gaf zo nu en dan wel wat lawaai. Maar dit is natuurlijk maar tijdelijk. De omgeving is echt prachtig, wil je wandelen of fietsen dan is de Oude Smederij een prima uitvalsbasis op slechts 3.5 uur rijden vanuit NL.

Tolles Haus in schöner Umgebung mit netten Gastgebern
Wir waren zwischen den Jahren mit zwei Familien in der alten Schmiede. Insgesamt 8 Personen, es hätten aber wohl auch noch zwei mehr gepasst. Die Ferienwohnung erstreckt sich über zwei Etagen und ist ein bisschen verwinkelt. Das Haus ist nach der Flutkatastrophe komplett renoviert worden. Die Küche ist super ausgestattet, und es gibt einen großen Ess- und Aufenthaltsraum mit Kaminofen. Die Gastgeber sind nett und kümmern sich. Am ersten Tag gab es ein Problem mit der Heizung, das dann aber am folgenden Tag behoben war. Das Dorf liegt in schöner Eifellandschaft, nach Bitburg sind es nur ein paar Minuten (man muss allerdings ein Auto haben). Echternach in Luxemburg ist ebenfalls direkt um die Ecke.
