Family hotels and homes in Ruegsau

The serenity of a calm place. Beautiful apartment

The location is in the middle of beautiful forest and farming country. Normally I look for places within 5-10 minutes of my destination (Ittigen, Bern), but I enjoyed this place so much, I will definitely stay here again, even though it's about 20 minutes from where I'm going to. Looking out the windows in the morning, and seeing 3 horses across the road, just made it all that much nicer and "tranquillo".

Staff was friendly and welcoming, views were incredible and the castle is gorgeous.

Very warm welcome, amazing rooms, and a great breakfast. I would come back anytime. I just loved it. 🤩

WOW WOW WOW Fantastic host - Ferdinand - extremely welcoming, chatty and great sense of humour. Beautiful boutique hotel, complimentary water, amazing breakfast, including freshly boiled eggs. Decoration throughout the hotel was exquisite. Great staff - helpful, polite and friendly. We were on a 16 day trip, visiting France, Italy and Switzerland. This hotel was by far the most outstanding, due to the decor, facilities, breakfast and the staff, lead by the fantastic Ferdinand! We will be back for sure!

Don’t judge too harshly for the lack of air conditioning - in such historic buildings, getting permits is extremely difficult. Everything is arranged to the highest standard, and breakfast is excellent - served in a restaurant that once held a Michelin star. + There are so many lovely little touches, like complimentary drinks in the fridge. The town itself is charming and full of history. And you’ll be staying just 300 meters from the inner courtyard of Burgdorf Castle, where you can watch the sunset. Highly recommended!

We've spent a week in Eggelried with a family of four (kids 4 and 7). The place is exceptional for many reasons: (1) Barbara and her family are wonderful hosts. We were so well taken care of (thank you, Barbara!) and, in the same time, we had all the privacy we needed. The communication (in EN and FR) was very efficient before, during and after our stay. (2) The apartment is spacious, clean, very practical, exceptionally well equipped (like home), with big cozy living room (toys!) and wonderful views from the windows all-around. There are anti-insects solutions (incl. nets on windows), so you are not bothered by flies. (3) The farm is beautiful. The garden offers a lot of playing opportunities for kids. The hot tub with the mountain/stars views was very relaxing. The big terrace offers you a possibility to eat outside. The variety of animals and the possibility for kids to engage in the farm work and feeding the animals was great - they've enjoyed it so much! Dogs usually have made my kids anxious, and it was also a case during the first days of our stay, but now, when I ask them what they've liked most during the holiday, the answer is: Simba and Blake! (4) The location is great. With detailed instructions given by the host, we have found the farm easily (despite darkness and fog). There was a covered parking place ready for us - very close to the entrance to the apartment, so it was logistically easy with luggage and kids. You can start you walking route from your front door - no need to get anywhere by car. The views around are stunning. There is a restaurant close to the farm (10 min walk). (5) The possibility to buy (for a very reasonable price) delicious fresh or homemade milk/bread/cheese/jams/butter...... was a highlight on top of everything above. It made our stay easy and care-free. We've got everything we needed and a lot of unexpected surprises too!

A treat of a historical stay - and on a midweek night in January, we had the whole castle to ourselves!

Wonderful staff, fantastic breakfast. Everything perfect.

Everything perfect: warm welcome from the host, large and clean room with a wonderful view on the meadows and woods! confortable beds, tasty breakfast (tiny extra cost)
