Hof Langfeld sits on the Geltinger Bucht, a bay most northern Germans will know. For everyone else: it lies between Kiel and Flensburg, about an hour and 40 minutes’ drive north of Hamburg. A Hamburg-based family has poured considerable effort, money and love into creating a place to unwind here, one that outside guests can now enjoy too.
Ostseehof Langfeld comprises five vacation houses, each rented individually (or you can book the entire estate). At its heart is a historic four-sided farmstead with 18th-century half-timbered buildings, offering three things above all: absolute peace and quiet, unspoiled nature and plenty of space.
Speaking of space: the farmstead sits on a gentle rise among rapeseed fields and meadows, just a three-minute bike ride from the Baltic Sea. The beach is still wild, with a small lighthouse and a bike path, and the mass tourism of ice cream parlors and beer gardens is conspicuously absent.
Just around the corner, Johanna, the owner, has set up five more vacation houses for families: Elstohl, the Marienhaus, the Weberhaus, Wildhagen 1 and Wildhagen 2. All five are little gems in their own right.
What stayed with us most was this: every house has a lovely old-school touch and feels wonderfully authentic and beautifully furnished. Gorgeous antiques are everywhere, yet arranged in a relaxed, cozy way. Families will find everything they have at home, assuming they are exceptionally well equipped. Johanna has four children of her own, so she knows exactly what families need.
The main house, for example, has 280 square meters (about 3,000 square feet) of living space, with five bedrooms and three bathrooms, and sleeps up to ten. The spectacular Westerscheune, a converted barn, sleeps up to twelve in four single and four double beds. It, too, measures 280 square meters, but the high ceilings in the ground-floor living areas and the kitchen and dining room make it feel even more spacious.
The Backhaus, also part of the farmstead, has a small bedroom on the ground floor and sleeping space for two more guests under the roof. The kitchen, living and dining areas are arranged around an old bread oven, which makes it especially cozy.
Johanna also rents out the Caecilienhof, about 100 meters (330 feet) farther southwest on the estate. This white house is another gem, with six bedrooms and room for up to 14 guests on 280 square meters. There is also an old workshop and, for guests who need less space, a cozy bunk-room unit with a single bedroom.
Ideal for
Families with children looking for a peaceful, relaxed week on the Baltic. The estate also suits larger groups, with plenty of room to gather in the courtyard; weddings have even been held here.
