Hardenberg Burghotel

This lovely Relais & Chateaux hotel, 13km north of Göttingen, sits on Count von Hardenberg’s estate, beneath the ruins of Hardenberg castle. The spacious rooms are elegantly furnished, service is top-notch, the grounds and golf links are delightfully manicured, and there are two restaurants: the upmarket Novalis, and the more rustic KeilerSchänke.
