Holiday Homes in Ottrau

Schitterend uitzicht over het dal, zeer rustig gelegen.

The Ferienbauernhof is located in Hüddingen, a small village with about 70 inhabitants. Accordingly, it is very quiet there. The nearest shops (supermarket) are a few kilometers away. Already on arrival we were thrilled by the farm the outside areas around the holiday apartments are lovingly designed and very well maintained. For children there are various possibilities for playing (sand pit area, large swings, football goal, scooter, tricycle ...). Directly beside the site is also a playground. In addition, the children have whenever they want the opportunity to deal with the animals. At the time of our holiday there were 1 larger pony, several mini ponies, 2 rabbits, some cats, chickens, 2 pigs. The larger pony can be taken out of the shed and ridden whenever you want and when you can get the bridle. If you are not so well know, the farmer helps with this. Our children are ridden daily. In addition, they are roaming around the premises all day long. Since there are several apartments, we quickly got in contact with other children. Between the apartments and the pony stall is only a mini road, on which drove only about 2x a tractor every day, so that we could let the children play outside alone. The farmer always showed up again and took the children to feed with rabbits, feed chickens (and catch chickens chickens), stamping eggs, picking up wood for a camp fire, mowing the stables ... Our children were thrilled! The Bauer was really really nice and also very dedicated, if any problems appeared. In our apartment (No. 3) we felt comfortable overall, but you have to say that it is rather simply equipped. We missed some things there (water cookers, reading lamps, shelves). All in all, we spent a holiday at the Ferienbauernhof but a family dream vacation

The arrival was fine. A day in advance sent an email with our expected arrival time and that we would call about half an hour before our arrival. When we arrived at the key address in Neuenstein, we were already met by the extremely friendly owner who then drove us to the accommodation address in Mühlbach, a small neighboring village a few kilometers away. It is a nice and neat house located on a dead end (unpaved road) on top of a hill, with lots of privacy. (Note: the navigation of the car itself, as well as Google Maps and Waze do not send you to the correct point in Mühlbach, if you enter the address, you are then at the bottom of the hill, so enter the coordinates) If the wind wrong state is the A7 motorway further afield clearly heard, but after some time you actually do not hear that anymore. (Perhaps because we are used to that at home too.) Unfortunately, the garden is not completely fenced off, but luckily that is not a problem for our 2 Border Collies, because they still stay close to us and listen well, and on the other side of the dead end we could play with them with the ball or Frisbee "s. The closest supermarkets we found in Bad Hersfeld (Lidl, open until 9 p.m. and Rewe open until 10 p.m. Both are closed on Sundays). The cottage is a good starting point for hikes and other day trips, such as to Fulda, Eisennach, Waldeck and Edersee, or the American army post CheckPoint Alpha, the former westernmost border crossing with the then DDR which has now become a museum, with the couple a hundred meters away "House of German Unification" We had an excellent holiday there, and it is an address that is on our nomination to definitely come back again.
