Hotel Schiff am Schluchsee

Continuing our trek through the Black Forest we stopped at Schluchsee on a horrible wet and windy day. The hotel, situated perfectly in the town centre, was a welcome sight, and despite looking like drowned rat's we were welcomed in. The hotel is quaintly decorated in a traditional style which I love. The hotel is a very old building and has bags of character. On this day of all days we were so glad of the spa. It was lovely to relax and soak tired legs in the pool. We were staying half board (halb pension) and the evening 3 course menu was lovely, washed down with a very nice bottle of Spaet-Burgender recommended by the helpful staff. The hotel also has a small "snug" bar where we enjoyed a few drinks before bed. Breakfast was buffet style and also great quality. We couldn't resist having a glass of sekt with the tasty smoked salmon. Service at this hotel was very good (I apologise I really should have taken down people's names) I would say this was my favourite hotel of the trip so far, purely based on service and atmosphere. I would certainly return.
