Dear Mariette, dear Erwin,

For over 4 weeks now, we have been able to enjoy your hospitality to share our diamond wedding anniversary. Not only we ourselves, but also our guests felt constantly well looked after during the celebration. You all always made us and every single guest feel welcome. We would like to thank you and your wonderful team once again for this.

Thanks also go to all the “good spirits” who worked in the background and without whom this celebration could not have taken place in this form.

Enclosed as a small token of appreciation a few euros for your coffee fund or whatever else you care for.

Thank you again and all the best for you and your team.

Horst and Inge

Dear mill team,

We would like to thank you once again for this wonderful day, which was characterized by friendliness, professionalism, taking care of the guests, delicious food, great cake, delicious coffee.

“You really have what it takes!” is all we can say. In today’s service desert, where you are unfortunately confronted with bad-tempered people far too often and are constantly confronted with the term “staff shortage”, you have really convinced us otherwise. Hard to beat. We drove back feeling completely relaxed and at ease and really enjoyed the day itself.

A very big thank you for this!

Best regards from Cologne

Kerstin S., parish office Evangelische Clarenbach-Kirchengemeinde

Hello everyone, we were with you yesterday with Alt-Lindenthal.

It was a wonderful day that I will remember for a long time to come! The mustard course was very exciting, as was the bread baking.

However, I would particularly like to emphasize Karl, who gave the tour with such passion and love that it made our hearts beat faster. I am shockingly in love (laugh…). You rarely find such gems these days.

The whole team spoiled us with a gracious friendliness that is second to none. And the “boss in the ring” is also a one-off and a jewel. A thousand thanks again, you gained a new fan club in Cologne yesterday.

Best regards Ulla (the one who took “the pot” of potato soup…). Thanks again for the prompt fulfillment of the special request!!!)

Eine sehr schöne Anlage! Der Enthusiasmus und die kreative Fantasie, die in jedes Detail geflossen sind, schaffen eine Atmosphäre, die diesen Ort einzigartig macht. Hier wurde die Kunst, alten Gegenständen neues Leben einzuhauchen, meisterhaft umgesetzt, und jedes Element erzählt seine eigene faszinierende Geschichte. Besonders beeindruckend ist die Funktionalität der restaurierten Mühle – ein Beweis für das geschickte handwerkliche Können bei ihrer Wiederherstellung. Hut ab vor dieser Leistung!Während unseres Aufenthalts haben wir das Wohlfühlarrangement in vollen Zügen genossen. Jeder einzelne Aspekt trug dazu bei, dass wir uns rundum wohl fühlten. Angefangen bei den Mahlzeiten, sei es das Frühstück mit dem duftenden selbstgebackenen Brot oder das köstliche Abendessen, bis hin zum aufmerksamen Service und der Möglichkeit, mit Erwin die faszinierende Kunst des Bierbrauens zu entdecken.Es ist deutlich spürbar, dass das gesamte Team nicht nur professionell, sondern auch mit viel Herz und Leidenschaft bei der Sache ist. Die aufmerksame Betreuung ließ uns zu jeder Zeit umsorgt fühlen, und unser Aufenthalt wurde zu einer rundum angenehmen Erfahrung. Es steht außer Frage, dass dieses außergewöhnliche Erlebnis bei uns noch lange in Erinnerung bleiben wird und wir gerne wiederkommen.

Wir hatten das Vergnügen, das Wohlfühlarrangement zu erleben, und es hat alle Erwartungen erfüllt. Angefangen vom herzlichen Empfang bis hin zur Abreise fühlten wir uns durchgehend wohl. Besonders beeindruckt waren wir von der faszinierenden Mühlenführung und dem Einblick ins Bierbrauen. Diese Erfahrung hat unsere Wertschätzung für die erstklassigen Produkte aus der Mühle, darunter das köstliche Brot, der aromatische Senf, die erlesenen Brände und das hervorragende Bier, noch gesteigert. Ein rundum gelungenes Erlebnis, das seinen Namen wirklich verdient hat! Vielen Dank an Erwin und das gesamte Team!

Wir können die Mühle und das gesamte Team einfach nur weiter empfehlen. Wir haben unsere Hochzeit dort gefeiert, inkl. Standesamt, Essen und Übernachtung. Allesamt waren wir super zufrieden und total begeistert von den tollen historischen Gebäuden und der rustikalen Einrichtung. Wir würden es immer wieder so machen, es war einfach alles perfekt!! Danke und liebe Grüße an das gesamte Team.Marion und Rainer

The watermill and everything about it is very interesting, there is a lot to see. Atmospheric. Own brewery with delicious beer, cozy beer garden. We enjoyed a really delicious meal in the restaurant. Breakfast also excellent with fresh rolls and pretty much everything you could wish for. We also really liked the long hours, luckily you can sleep in and get ready at your leisure in the spacious bathroom. Everything was spotless. Good beds. The area is beautiful with many nice roads and ideal to explore with a convertible, so we ended up unplanned at De Kasselburg Castle, a very nice surprise. Worth repeating this short holiday. Staff were friendly.

Went to the mill for 3 nights, had half board and are definitely a kilo heavier now. The food was good, nothing more and nothing less. Delicious breakfast, very friendly staff. Everything was decorated for Christmas - you have to like that.... The tour of the facilities was given by Karl, who did an excellent job. We also got to know the boss, Müller Erwin, briefly. There's quite a personality cult going on, but he seemed quite likeable and authentic.The large circular route is very varied, and a stop at the alpine pasture is recommended.

A very nice facility! The enthusiasm and creative imagination that went into every detail create an atmosphere that makes this place unique. Here the art of breathing new life into old objects has been mastered and each element tells its own fascinating story. The functionality of the restored mill is particularly impressive - a testament to the skillful craftsmanship involved in restoring it. Big props for that performance.During our stay we enjoyed the feel-good arrangement to the fullest. Every single aspect contributed to the fact that we felt completely comfortable. Starting with the meals, be it breakfast with the fragrant home-baked bread or the delicious dinner, through to the attentive service and the opportunity to discover the fascinating art of brewing beer with Erwin.It is clearly noticeable that the entire team is not only professional, but also puts a lot of heart and passion into their work. The attentive care made us feel cared for at all times and our stay was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. There is no question that this extraordinary experience will stay with us for a long time and we will be happy to come back.

We had the pleasure of experiencing the feel good arrangement and it lived up to all expectations. From the warm welcome to departure, we felt very comfortable. We were particularly impressed by the fascinating mill tour and the insight into beer brewing. This experience increased our appreciation for the mill's top-quality products, including the delicious bread, aromatic mustard, fine brandies and superb beer. An all-round successful experience that really deserves its name! Many thanks to Erwin and the entire team!

The food (simple dishes) is tasty, but too expensive for home cooking.The restaurant menu does not change, it seems to be standardized.I like the ambience, it is rustic and beautifully decorated. The mustard is great 👍.

Very nice celebration. But that wasn't the host's fault. I've never met a rude host. I'm a gastron myself and can judge that. The ambiance beautiful. Food ok.Staff was nice and friendly.Wouldn't recommend this mill to anyone for a wedding. Because it could be the unforgettable day of your life.

Good place to eat with a great view and environment. I had a good meal and dessert, pork with pepper sause and potatoes/gemüse. It it pricey though, so don't expect a cheap meal but it was worth it in my opinion

Attended a wedding, the entourage is nice, the food consists of local products, and of home made products. It is well balanced and of good quality. The party was nice, the catering good and sufficient. Taxis to the hotel were available and arranged fast.

Thanks to you, it was the best day of our lives so far and we would like to thank you very much for that!

Dear mill team, dear Erwin,

I would like to thank you and the whole team from the bottom of my heart for the wonderful organization of my birthday party on 06.07.2024. It was a wonderful and unforgettable day for me and my guests.

All the guests I spoke to after the party were delighted with the unique ambience and variety of the Mühle. I would also like to thank and compliment the kitchen. This was definitely not our last visit to the Historic Birgel Watermill.

Best wishes and see you again.

Ingo B.

Dear Mühlen team,

We were able to spend three unforgettable days with you. Everything was wonderful, from our original and comfortable apartment with garden, to the sumptuous breakfast buffet, the delicious 4-course menus and the guided tour of the entire mill site. We were impressed by the fact that all the mills and equipment work and that the home-made products are served in the restaurants. We tried all kinds of bread, mustard, beer and some high-proof spirits and more and found them excellent. Tip: you can buy everything!

It is an inhabitable, living museum with an educational and fun factor, built and run privately by Erwin and Mariette. An unusual feature is the mill stream visible through glass floors in the restaurant, which continues to be used – alongside solar – as a source of energy. You can experience sustainability everywhere here. This also includes the relaxed, friendly atmosphere that prevails both towards the guests and among each other.

I was enchanted by this exuberant joy of decorating with art and junk. Old and not so old, special and banal and every everyday object, no matter how small, is valued and has a place … and these beautiful flower arrangements everywhere – thank you!

Renate G.

Dear mill team,

Even if it was only 1 night, we liked it very much. The rooster at 4:00 a.m. and the chattering of the geese reminded me of our last place of residence in a small village. It was fantastic and I slept better than I have for a long time.

We will definitely be back soon, then for a few days longer.

Regina N. sends her best regards.

Good morning to Birgel,

Thank you very much for the really wonderful birthday party at your place. My guests not only felt very comfortable with you, they were delighted. It is an exceptionally beautiful place to hold such a celebration. Your staff was also very friendly and accommodating. And you also managed the weather well. We can only recommend your house

Yours sincerely

Dear ladies and gentlemen or rather dear landlords!

The previous Saturday evening we were in your splendid restaurant to a really delicious feast for the palate and, moreover, were served by a pretty waitress radiantly pleasing. In addition, there is the sympathetic table talk with your boss Erwin! We happy 13 (= extended family May) were very taken and satisfied with you and will warmly recommend your super house – and hope to stop by again – despite the 130 km distance!

Beyond all praise, we would have liked to know from you why you identify your fires as ‘…brannt’. We also tasted these and found them to be delicious!

We look forward to your detailed response and wish you all a good time with steady success.

Kind regards from Klaus H. May from Meerbusch

Hello dear mill team ,

this really means all of them.

Water is the strongest drink because it powers mills. But you as a whole team are even stronger.
You can’t feel any better as a guest. Warmly, familiarly and lovingly all of you are treated. And, all appear confidently natural.

This is unique and creates an atmosphere that you will not find again.

All of them have the “Erwin Virus.” The quality of the food and drinks cannot be topped. Please do not be inoculated… only by the Fam Spohr.

Then we as guests (friends) are always felt in the feel-good oasis with you. Thank you for that Because you are the way you are, you will soon have to put up with us again.

All the best and see you soon,

John
