Hotel Altes Pfarrhaus

We stayed few days in the hotel for hinking around the Mosel valley. The room had been renovated not long time ago. The room was very spacious. With a table and two armchairs. Also a small fridge for your own food and drinks was there. The breakfast was not included in the room fee, but it was worth to book. A good selection of homemade jams, different flavors of yogurt, chees, sliced sausage and each day a different fresh bread was on the buffet. The menu for the dinner is not very extensive. But all dishes we tried were tasty. If you like wine, try that served from local winemakers.

You can compose you own pizza, drink a fine beer and enjoy a big ice cream with a special sauce of local prumes. The other food seems also very good. Very fine seating at the terrace or inside. Also a hotel.

We have lost count of the number of times we have now stayed here. We are never disappointed. The hotel is in a lovely location overlooking the river and the view is great. The owners and staff are lovely and speak very good English. The rooms are very clean, very big and very well appointed. The food is excellent and if the weather is agreeable you can eat outside on the terrace. We will absolutely, definitely, without a shadow of doubt be staying here again.

After a long a testing walk from the Castle Thurant I was totally surprised at what I found. 1- the young lady spoke English and was really considerate. 2- my meal was perfect and flavoursome. 3- they allow dogs inside. 4- the decor was clean and fresh. Only slight negatives but nothing worth knocking them back for. 1- I had to walk back. 2- the coffee isn't what I'm used to in Aussie but proper batista coffee in Germany so far is hard to find.

Nicely located with an awesome terrace with Mosel river view. A lot less crowded and touristic than Cochem and therefore a good alternative to take a break. Service was efficient and friendly. Apparently hosted by Dutch people. Food: the flammenkuchen, soup and salads were more than acceptable. Schnitzels however were really disappointing. It seems to be a terrible Dutch habit to deep fry them which makes schnitzel dry hard. It provides the kitchen a bad reputation for all the rest. Good place to go in any case, but my advice to the chef would be: treat your ingredients better and cook food in a right manner, no matter what kind of bad habbits the Dutch like.

This is a small but very nice hotel in the quiet town Ernst (about 5 km from Cochem). We had a wonderfull time here. There are not many guests so it is quiet and the kind staff has time to answer your questions and make you feel at home. Breakfast buffet is small but enough. Diner is wonderfull. Prices are acceptable also for drinks. They have a good menu to chose from. Rooms are clean and new towels everyday (if you like). Tea and coffee facilities in the room. Also a minibar. At the other side of the road (busy traffic during the day but quiet at night) there is the walking/bicycle path. Bicycles can be rent at a shop nearby (also Ebikes). You can play football, volleybal, rent a kano or just relax in the field. Wifi is moderate at times. We stayed 4 nights (special arrangement) and can highly recommend this hotel.

Third time here and yet again we were not disappointed. The owners and staff provide excellent service and the food is terrific. We don't think we will ever tire of the views. It's very relaxing sitting on the terrace in the evening, sipping a local wine whilst watching the river traffic.

This place was great for a quick overnight stay. As a matter of fact, we wished we could have spent more time here on our trip. For the price, this is really hard to beat in Europe. Right on the Mosel river, just a short drive/bus ride to Cochem and other Mosel river stops. Room had quaint modern styling with plenty of space and a great view. The most impressive thing about Altes Pfarrhaus is the people. The family that runs this hotel was fantastic to us. They also spoke English if that is a concern for anyone. Overall, highly recommended stop for anyone looking for a nice stay on the Mosel river.

Our second stay here and yet again we were not disappointed. The location is lovely with a fabulous view of the river and surrounding valley. Motorcycles and pushbikes can be safely locked away in a garage. The hosts were extremely welcoming again and we enjoyed a lovely 2 nights. The food was as good as we remembered with a great choice and excellent quality. The restaurant was closed our first night however there are plenty of alternatives a very short walk away.

The hotel is not located in Cochem but you can easly go there with bycle, bus or car. Certainly in a Wine area is the car option not always the best but it would be a long walk to get there. The Hotel offers free bus tickets als a nice bonus. The Mosel river is a very nice valley with vineyards and lots of Restaurants, hotels and of course wine stores. During the summer is a very visited areas (weekends probably too busy) and in early Autum during the Wine season and the related celebrations an excellent place. Here is a bycle a good option to travel around. Cochem is one of the many towns along the river but is very nice with a lot of riverside restaurants and even a "Medieval" castle. The hotel is located not far away from Cochem but parking can be an issue during busy days. It is a older building which has been recently renovated; the room size was OK. Not too big, not too small. The bed is a bit too soft and the pillows (only one type) not very good. Bath was modern but as in older buldings the other rooms could be different. The Breakfast was great and we had dinner too and it was very tasty. There is a big terrace for Al Fresco dining with a nice view of the river but in October was too Fresco. Considering everything the price was OK and I can recommend this place. I think I will return (with my own pillow).
