What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The interiors across all three houses are a beautifully eclectic mix of the contemporary and the historical, including cupboards crafted from old French shutters and furniture collected from all over Europe.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Lüdinghausen's pedestrian center is right outside, with marked cycling paths leading directly to Münsterland's moated castles.
The rooms
Seventeen individually styled rooms mix contemporary comforts with continental antiques, from Orléans mirrors to vintage Dutch wooden seating.

Café & Antikshop
Breakfast arrives beneath exposed timber beams, followed by British cream tea and country tarts in the afternoon.
