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

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!!!)

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.

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!

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
