13 Holiday apartments & homes for your ski holiday in Ilmenau

Unfortunately, the booked stay in the holiday home was not as expected. The description of the holiday home and the property no longer really corresponds to reality. The pictures are probably many years old since they were taken. Unfortunately, the garden property does not really invite you to linger and feel comfortable, as a lot of it has become overgrown and therefore has little to do with a beautiful garden. Garden furniture, cushions and grill are clearly showing their age. It is not really fun to use these things and also to feel comfortable and enjoy them. Even the beautiful scenic view can compensate for this. In the house, all the cupboards are so full that unfortunately there is no room left for the holidaymaker's personal belongings. Unfortunately, you have to leave a lot of things in your bag during your stay because there is simply no room. Nice is something else on holiday. Sometimes less is more, especially in a holiday home. The entrance area is already clearly showing its age, very dark and not very inviting. The hallway coat rack is full of unnecessary things and shelves simply fall off when touched. Unfortunately, there is no way to store shoes or jackets you have brought with you. This holiday home may have been very nice in the past and holidaymakers felt comfortable there. At least that is what the entries in the many guest books say. We would also have loved to have found such a great, inviting holiday home with a garden. To make it like that again and to make people want to spend their holidays there, it needs urgent overhaul and renovation both inside and outside. This includes working electrics in the living area. A thorough cleaning of the extractor hood is urgently required. Perhaps some new purchases are worth considering. The only good thing to mention is that the landlady is a nice and friendly person. Sorry

The cottage is beautifully situated: fantastic views and a spacious (fenced) garden with several seating areas. Our dog loved it too. You can walk straight into the woods behind the house and the Rennsteig is not far away. We did not like the lack of central heating: the cottage is kept warm by a large tiled stove that runs on lignite briquettes and wood. Lots of work when it's cold. The house is also not very big. Reception was warm and cottage is nicely decorated and very clean. Good location when the weather is nice, so you can enjoy the garden and a little less in bad weather. By the way, the cottage is located in Oehrenstock and not in Langeweisen.

It was a successful break for us. We spent a few great days with our dog in this accommodation and enjoyed the peace and quiet of the holiday home on site. Mrs. Schneider, the landlady, gave us a very warm welcome. We are happy to recommend this lively holiday home to others.
