Unser magischer Rückzugsort, an dem die Zeit langsamer wird… Nun waren wir bereits zum vierten Mal in der Löffelmühle – und schon bei unserem ersten Besuch war uns klar, welch besonderen und wundervollen Ort wir hier durch Zufall entdeckt haben. Ein sozusagen magischer Ort, an dem wir aus der Welt bzw. aus dem Alltag aussteigen und einfach nur wir selbst sein können. Bereits oben vor der Zufahrt schalten wir unsere Telefone aus. Natürlich gibt es in der Mühle WLAN – aber wir brauchen es hier definitiv nicht. Im Gegenteil: Wir können jedem nur empfehlen, die Zeit, die Ruhe und die Aura dort ganz bewusst ohne Medien zu genießen. Sobald man die Pforten hinunter zur Löffelmühle passiert, scheint die Zeit automatisch langsamer zu laufen. Das Rauschen des Baches, das Zwitschern der Vögel, der Wald, die Eichhörnchen, die Hühner und die liebevoll gepflegten Esel lassen einen sofort zur Ruhe kommen. Auch im Inneren spürt man überall die Liebe zum Detail. Alles ist mit unglaublich viel Geschmack, Stil und Feingefühl eingerichtet und dekoriert. Hochwertige Materialien, wunderschöne Details und eine Atmosphäre, in der man sich sofort wohlfühlt. Die Zimmer sind alle bis ins in den kleinsten Winkel durchdacht – einfach zum Ankommen und Bleiben. Kulinarisch ist die Mühle ebenfalls das non plus ultra. Hervorragende Produkte auf höchstem Niveau, ein wunderbares Frühstück und natürlich Jean-Paul, der uns in seiner „Cuisine“ jedes Mal aufs Neue mit seinem liebevoll zubereiteten Überraschungsmenü begeistert. Dazu ein guter Wein (wir lieben Lafage) – besser kann ein Abend kaum sein. Die Kuchen von Herrn Hein, ein absoluter Traum. Doch das Schönste ist dieses besondere Gefühl, das die Löffelmühle schenkt: Zeit für sich, für Zweisamkeit, und für Ruhe - also für die wirklich wichtigen Dinge. Ein ganz herzliches Dankeschön an Sie, Herr Hein und an Sie, Herr Schmit. Dafür, dass Sie diesen Schatz Inmitten des Waldes seit 2017 mit so viel Liebe und Hingabe bewahren. Wir hoffen von Herzen, dass Sie die Löffelmühle noch viele, viele Jahre genauso weiterführen können und mit uns weiterhin diesen wunderbaren Platz für eine kurze Zeit teilen können, an dem die Uhren langsamer ticken und an dem die Welt noch in Ordnung ist. Einen ganz besonderen Platz in unseren Erinnerungen hat Ihr lieber Esel Elias, den wir leider seit dem 3. Januar nicht mehr begrüßen können. Bis bald, liebe Löffelmühle, lieber Herr Hein und lieber Herr Schmit. Sandra und Andreas

I dont usually do long commentarys but to understand the full picture here it is! Background Two Aussies travelling through Europe and Germany. We were looking for a place to stay near Elze Castle and found this property so we took a chance and booked our stay. After reading their webpage and all the things they were offering as a matter of ease we decided to book dinner at the B & B. We were a little unsure as some of the packages on their web page (Food, Champagne, Chocolates etc) seemed very expensive and at euro 65 per person plus drinks we thought it was bit expensive (for a B & B) but again for ease we stuck with it. Our Review We were greated by two guys who called themselves Jean-Paul and Roland. They were very peasant, showed us around and made us most welcome. After settling in we walked around the wonderful property and along the stream. A pleasant change from Nurembeurg City Centre :) We booked the Fauna room and it was lovely. It was actually a number of rooms, very large, modern, beautifuly styled, open fireplace, large bedroom with a large TV behind the sliding bookcase and in the lounge a massive floor to ceiling window looking outside and onto the river. It was stunning. These guys have spent an absolute fortune on this place and everyhing has been carefully thought out and planned to the enth degree. We were told dinner was at 7. 30pm so we went down early for a drink. Jean- Paul was fluffing around in the kitchen then he asked us to sit at our table. We were served with a 5 course meal that was so tasty, fresh, well prepared and presented beautifully. All cooked from scratch by Jean-Paul. At this point we now thought that euro 65 pp was very cheap and we would have expected to pay at least euro150 pp elswhere with lesser quality. We sat for 2 .5hrs while we enjoyed the wonderful surroundings, lovely food and great service by Roland. After 38 years of marraige my wife and I usually spend just over an hour in a restaurant so 2.5hrs was very unusual for us. We were told brekky was from 8.30 onwards. We went down for brekky and apart from the usal cereals etc there was a magnificient platter of meats, cheeses, breads etc again presented beautifully. These two guys are just amazing as is the property, food and surrounding. It is an experience you should not miss out on. PS. I know the above sounds like a sales pitch but we have travelled the world and its not often you find a little gem like this. Congratulations to both Jean-Paul and Roland.
