The Black Forest
High in the forested hills, the chalet-style Jägerhaus offers modern-rustic rooms, with solid wood furnishings and Christmassy red and green colours. There's a lovely spa with a sauna built in reclaimed timber, relaxation area with an open fire and a natural swimming pond, plus mountain-bike rental and bowling alley. Fresh Black Forest produce appears at breakfast.
For families, extra beds can be squeezed in for children and there's an outdoor playground.
