    We stayed there for a weekend with our two horses. It was really great, the apartment was modern and cozy, the horses each had a large airy paddock box and were even taken out to pasture in consultation with Lisa. Lisa and Dominik asked for every wish and looked after the horses and riders very well without being intrusive. Dominik made a round to the guests in the evening to get direct feedback. The riding area is beautiful, but very extensive, making it difficult for people unfamiliar with the area to keep their bearings. Maps would have been helpful. And you should definitely think about hoof protection (shoes, shoes), as the paths are often gravel. For us it was a very relaxing weekend with a good price-performance ratio.

    Wir waren zu zweit mit unseren beiden Pferden für ein Wochenende dort. Es war richtig toll, die Wohnung war modern und gemütlich, die Pferde hatten jeweils eine große luftige Paddockbox und wurden sogar in Absprache mit Lisa auf die Weide gebracht. Lisa und Dominik haben sämtliche Wünsche erfragt und Pferde und Reiterinnen bestens versorgt, ohne dabei aufdringlich zu sein. Dominik machte abends eine Runde zu den Gästen, um eine direkte Rückmeldung zu bekommen. Das Ausreitgelände ist schön, aber sehr weitläufig, daher für ortsunkundige Personen schwierig, die Orientierung zu behalten. Da wären Karten hilfreich gewesen. Und man sollte unbedingt an Hufschutz denken (Eisen, Schuhe), da die Wege häufig geschottert sind. Für uns war es ein sehr erholsames Wochenende mit einem guten Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.

    Very nice operation. We were here with the camper van and were surprised at the facilities on offer. Completely undisturbed night's sleep.

    Last year we booked our daughter's birthday there. According to the flyer, the theme was 'Bibi&Tina'. On site there was nothing at all under the theme The birthday child was not the focus of the event, the child's conclusion after the party was "that was the worst birthday". The supervisors were very unfriendly and there was no atmosphere. We paid an extra €20 for a piñata - but there wasn't one. Instead there was a chest with mini gummy bears inside. A big profit. I'm still annoyed a year later that I didn't give feedback straight away. It's really bad. I'm an educator myself, I wouldn't wish such a chilly birthday party on anyone.

    Letztes Jahr dort den Geburtstag unserer Tochter gebucht. Dies sollte laut Flyer unter dem Thema 'Bibi&Tina' laufen. Vor Ort war überhaupt nix unter dem Thema Das Geburtstagskind war null im Mittelpunkt des Event, Fazit des Kindes nach der Feier " das war der Schlimmste Geburtstag ". Die Betreuer sehr unfreundlich, alles ohne Atmosphäre. Eine Piñata haben wir mit 20€ Aufpreis bezahlt - gab es aber gar nicht. Stattdessen eine Truhe, drin waren mini Gummibärchen. Satter Gewinn. Ärger mich auch ein Jahr später noch, nicht direkt Feedback gegeben zu haben. Ganz schlimm. Bin selber Erzieherin, so eine kühle Geburtstagsfeier wünsche ich niemandem.

    We have just spent a short vacation there over the weekend and are totally thrilled!!! Haus Leo left nothing to be desired. The whole farm is very clean and well-kept. The children were allowed to go everywhere, even into the stables and our dog was allowed to romp with farm dogs. It was soooooooooo nice for all of us!!! We will remember this for a long time to come ♡

Das wird uns noch lange in guter Erinnerung bleiben ♡

    We spent an unforgettable family reunion at the Sodehof from Friday to Sunday. With a total of 22 adults and 14 children, we had more than enough space in the beautiful, well-equipped vacation apartments. The event room in particular, with its fully equipped kitchen, was a highlight and perfect for our large group. The entire farm is child-friendly, and both the little ones and the older ones loved it. The warm atmosphere and perfect facilities made our stay a real experience. We would love to come back! Many thanks to the team at Sodehof Eins!

Mit insgesamt 22 Erwachsenen und 14 Kindern hatten wir mehr als genug Platz in den wunderschönen, top ausgestatteten Ferienwohnungen. Besonders der Eventraum mit voll ausgestatteter Küche war ein Highlight und perfekt für unsere große Gruppe. Der gesamte Hof ist kinderfreundlich, und sowohl die Kleinen als auch die Großen waren begeistert. Die herzliche Atmosphäre und die perfekte Ausstattung haben unseren Aufenthalt zu einem echten Erlebnis gemacht. Wir kommen gerne wieder! Vielen Dank an das Team vom Sodehof Eins!

    We spent a few days on the farm. The location of the farm is great, lots of nature and undeveloped land far and wide. The farm is nice and large with modern apartments and houses. The rooms are nicely furnished but as a family of 5 we probably got the smallest room. There are cows, dogs and great horses and ponies. As already mentioned here, we found Mrs. Friedrich to be very reserved. There was no greeting or farewell for us either. Tamara, on the other hand, is the good soul of the farm for us. We had great conversations with her and felt more at ease thanks to her. Conclusion: A large, beautiful farm. Great horses, unfortunately no great activities for children with the animals Great location

    Wir haben ein paar Tage auf dem Hof verbracht. Die Lage des Hofs ist super, viel Natur und weit und breit unbebautes Land. Der Hof ist schön groß mit modernen FeWo und Häusern. Die Zimmer sind schön eingerichtet allerdings hatten wir als 5-köpfige Familie wohl das kleinste Zimmer bekommen. Es gibt Kühe, Hunde und tolle Pferde und Ponys. Wie hier schon erwähnt empfanden wir Frau Friedrich als sehr reserviert. Auch bei uns gab es keine Begrüßung oder Verabschiedung. Tamara hingegen ist für uns die gute Seele des Bauernhofs. Wir hatten tolle Gespräche mit ihr und fühlten uns dank ihr wohler. Fazit: Ein großer, schöner Hof. Tolle Pferde, leider keine großen Aktivitäten für Kinder mit den Tieren Tolle Lage
