Haus am Pfaffenteich

The hotel is more of a guest house or "Pension" and is in a lovely setting right on the edge of the the Pfaffenteich lake. The walk from the railway station with my backpack was an easy one punctuated by stops to take pics along the way. My room wasn't particularly modern but had a homely feel to it which is a comment that could be applied to the house in general and the fact that the management spoke English just about as well as I speak German added to the charm of the place. All the main sights you need to visit in Schwerin such as the castle and the arsenal are within a short stroll and I would recommend the slightly longer walk to the beach at Zippendorf for keen walkers. Breakfast was great too.

Haus am Pfaffenteich is most conveniently situated within walking distance of the railway station, the town centre, the castle and the lake. It is excellent value for money in every respect!!! Pleasant, comfortable, clean, good-sized room. Quiet, peaceful atmosphere. Excellent buffet breakfast - included in price of room, which is very reasonable. Ultra-friendly and helpful staff.

We found the hotel (more a pension) after a long day's driving and were lucky that there was room for us. The proprietor spoke absolutely no English (and we don't speak German) but we managed to work it out between us. It's a big old multi-storied house converted into rooms and it has a comfy, homely feel about it, like your old guest houses. The accommodation is clean, big rooms, bathroom fine, with quaint little alcoves outside some of the rooms - a bit like your table and chairs outside a doctor's rooms in long-ago days. Cute. The breakfast was enormous and with lots of variety. The position is good, on a corner looking out over the lake, and is within walking distance of the shops and old centre. Not that far to the Schwerin castle either (don't miss that!). Good value for money and it doesn't break the bank.
