A Wonderful Romantic Location

Sometimes an unusual location can turn out to be more romantic than a top luxury hotel. The Hay Hotel Moerenhof is one such place and is the perfect destination for visitors who want to enjoy a night or two, or a week, in the countryside with the option of spending an actual night in the hay.

Something Different

The hotel has guest rooms and apartments with all the usual facilities but also offers you an opportunity to have ‘a night in the hay’ sleeping in a barn. If you are allergic then this is not the best idea and the lovely guest rooms or apartments would be a better choice. However, if you want to experience some simplistic charm and take part in a cozy adventure with your partner then why not give it a try.

The Farm And Animals

The Hay Hotel Moerenhof is sited on a farm and there are a great deal of activities in which you can take part. Visit the animals and give them their feed, make use of the super spa facilities or just go for a country walk. There are so many places to see in and around Xanten and after an excursion you can sit and unwind with a coffee and a delicious home made cake. In addition, you can take part in a game of ‘Bauerngolf’, a very different kind of golf.

Wonderful Food

This distinctly unusual but charming farm hotel serves a tasty farmer’s breakfast every morning so whether you opt for the night in the hay or stay in a guest room or apartment you can still enjoy wonderful local food cooked to perfection.
