“The setting within a 17th-century castle certainly evokes a sense of royal history, placing you just outside the bustle toward Hamburg. While service aims high-the welcome macaroons a nice touch-the breakfast experience didn't quite match the promise, especially considering the pricing; still, the architecture and grounds offer an undeniably grand escape.”
