“A night at the castle”

I was looking for a place to stay the night before entering northern Poland from Germany. Not far from the highway around 70 km from the border I found a four star hotel listed as a "Schloss" hotel. At the price of around 80 euro including breakfast it seemed like a very interesting opportunity. The hotel is located around 6 km from the highway exit, the route will lead you thru a small village before arriving in the small village where the hotel is located. The entrance to the hotel is clearly marked and includes a small alley with trees and parking area surrounded by trees. Once outside the hotel there is only little indication of this being a hotel and restaurant in fact it seems more like a private building where a wealthy family would live with their servants. A small sign on the door gives you instructions on what to do in case you arrive after hours. Once inside you find the hotel reception in the restaurant bar. The staff is very welcoming and very helpful and you are treated more as an invited guest than a customer. After a quick check in process I was followed to my room on the first floor. The double doors indicated that the "Schloss" part also included the rooms and not only the surroundings. A spacious room with sitting area, a large cabinet, two big windows overlooking the park a desk and of course a bed welcomed me. The bathroom was also very spacious and had been restored with great respect for the castle .entertainment was provided by the B&O television with a range of local stations. Breakfast is served as a buffet with a decent number of options and can be enjoyed indoor overlooking the garden or outdoor at the patio.I wouldn't bother to pay the money needed to get the internet access, its pretty bad, but so is the mobile connection, so its one or the other. I will be back

“Special Hotel with superb restaurant”

We were two couples coming here for one night on our way back home. The fact this is a hotel with vineyards around it, was also something that tempting for a visit. We booked room and a table for dinner on beforehand, then we added a tasting of their wine ahead of the dinner. The hotel had quite many parkingplaces near the main entrance, and we could stop in front of the main entrance to unload/load our suitcases. There were hotel guests as well as restaurant guests during our visit and the parking spot was big enough for us all. To register we went through the restaurant to the reception which was neck to neck with the bar. We were escorted to our rooms and informed very well about the use of curtains, aircondition system and a couple of other things. The rooms were big and so was the beds, and the beds were very comfortable. Our bathroom was big and spacy enough for one in the shower and one doing shaving. It is an old and beautiful building so you should not be surpriced to hear a creak from the floor now and then. Our winetasting were very interesting, both about the grapes and harvests and about how the vineyards were organized, as well as the tasting itself of white-, rosé- and redwine, grown so far north in Germany. The dinner we got was nothing less than superb. There were several tempting dishes in their food card of Restaurant Weinblatt. We chose their filetsteak and got a juicy piece of meat which had a seldom crispy surface. The kitchen really know their trade. So did the waitors, we challenged them to pick wine from their vineyards to accompany our dish, and what they suggested to us went pleasantly with the food. We are thankful for the good service and the fantastic experience we got from Schloss Rattey, and yes: We did buy bottles of their wine with us home from their wineshop.
