This is a great holiday-cottage in a pleasant quiet village. Our hosts were extremely friendly and helpful, with recommendations about the area, about sightseeing, hiking and more. And the facilities the holiday cottage offers are excellent. The spaces in the cottage - kitchen, sitting room, bedroom - are spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is well-equipped for cooking. There is also wifi, which works best inside the house, not so well outside. But outside there are diverse places to sit in the morning or afternoon sun, with lawn furniture and tables. A cherry tree and raspberry bushes blooming in the yard: fruit 'fresh from the vine' ;-) The location is very good for hiking, and there are a number of routes available right from the village of Friederichsbrunn. Friederichsbrunn is rather small, and when we were there there were only 2 restaurants open (one of which is excellent)! There is a small supermarket, not always open, so check the opening times in advance, if possible. We ended up doing our shipping in Thale. You should also be aware that in Friederichsbrunn everything is closed on Monday and Tuesday. That said, we enjoyed coming back each afternoon to this quiet, friendly place in the Harz Mountains after hikes, or visits cities nearby. And we enjoyed our contact with our kind and most helpful hosts. If we come back to this region, we will certainly stay here again. And we recommend Ferienhaus ANNE to anyone looking to visit this interesting part of Germany.
