    Beautiful family room. It was very clean and looked newly renovated. Obviously we would come back.

    The room was clean and the private bathroom is nice and clean too. Not far from the center like 5 minutes walk. Possibility to buy some drinks in the house. The system of code and keybox is easy even if you don't meet anyone when checking in.

Company information

We operated other guest rooms in Cochem, as well as a holiday apartment above our wine house on Schrombekaulplatz in Cochem. We took over the Pension Altes Fährhaus in January 2023 and partially renovated it and are very much looking forward to the new, additional challenge.

Property information

The house was built in 1911 and used as a ferry house, so there are stairs directly opposite the house and a barrier-free descent to the Moselle. At that time there was no bridge and therefore the ferry was the only connection for humans and animals to get to Cochem! It is now a historic building, which has been expanded again and again into our beautiful guesthouse in recent years.
