Loved the quaint location although not sure why Google maps takes you higher up the road , so arm yourself with patience…as you will find it, as it is on the main road. Breakfast was continental as I expected - good selection of breads,cheeses boiled eggs, vegetables and cold meats/salami. For the cereal/butter/pastries/jam lovers, a good selection to choose from as well, so if you are staying several days, I’m sure you’ll have enough to choose from! The views are superb both in the morning and evening, so if you’re looking for a place to have a good sleep and to relax your mind, you’ve come to the right place. The host is ever so helpful and knows that a great smile goes a long way, making guests feel welcome is her nature! Thank you and all the best to the lady of the manor, you’re doing a great job! 🙏👍🥳😌

We liked literally everything at Brennereihotel Sponsel: the atmosphere created by the family which is running this business merits to be rated beyond 10 on a 0 to 10 scale. They are friendly, professional and helpful. Their property is nicely designed, the rooms are spacious and perfectly clean and the breakfasts are tasty. Important for us, we experienced an amazingly child-friendly attitude. A nice bonus is their restaurant - I wish I could eat more than I did! And a real highlight is the alcohol of their own production: upon arrival tiny bottles of delicious liquor were welcoming us on our pillows. Yummy!

Me and my son made a tour around Fränkische Alp to look at castles and other historical landmarks. We also stayed in some of the castles. We were focusing especially on castles with a more "medieval" appearance rather than later palaces. Burg Rabenstein is really a dream castle if one likes these things. It has very spectacular looks on top of a cliff. It has amazing interiors that make you feel like moved in time. In addition to this there is also possible to eat quite high-end food for a reasonable price level in the castle restaurant. And the list of wine and spirits was very complete, and sitting there sipping on a good whiskey in a leather chair after the dinner was very relaxing. My teenage son was by then spending the time in the huge bathtub of our room. Altogether it really felt as we were some royalty in the past. The breakfast was also great, and the location is perfect for hiking in the surroundings. Only a few hundred meters away is an amazing cave with beautiful rock formations and remains of cave bears.

Wonderful apartment [spacious, spotless, and with a lovely view], wonderful hosts, wonderful location [as long as you have access to a car], wonderfully quiet! It exceeded our expectations in every way. We will definitely come back and recommend this to friends travelling through/to Bavaria. PS: The family's restaurant recommendations were also spot on.

The location is quite nice a very silent, and even the apartment was kind of okay. The owner was very friendly. But we have to also fairly say, that the apartment is not in Gössweinstein. it’s approximately 8 km away in a small village where the only service available is the holy mess on Sunday morning. Everything else needs to be handled using car.

The location is perfect for a casual stay when you want to be away from city and work. It makes you just so close to the nature with mountain and river. It is quiet and clean, easy to go nearby village facilities.
