Hof Langfeld is set in the Geltinger Bucht – a name that will ring a bell for most Northern Germans. For everyone else: it lies between Kiel and Flensburg, roughly a 1 hour 40-minute 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 holiday houses in total, each let individually (or you can book the entire estate at once). At its heart is a historic four-sided farmstead with half-timbered buildings dating back to the 18th century, offering three things above all: absolute peace and quiet, untouched nature, and plenty of space.
Speaking of space: the farmstead sits on a gentle rise, tucked among rapeseed fields and meadows, just a three-minute bike ride from the Baltic Sea. The beach there is still wild, with a small lighthouse and a cycle path – but the kind of mass tourism that comes with ice-cream parlours and beer gardens is conspicuously absent.
Just around the corner from Ostseehof Langfeld, Johanna – the host – has set up five further holiday 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 from our visit was this: every house has that lovely old-school touch, feeling wonderfully authentic and beautifully furnished. Gorgeous antiques are dotted throughout, yet arranged with a relaxed, cosy feel. Families will find everything they’d have at home – provided, that is, they’re exceptionally well equipped. Johanna has four children of her own, so she knows exactly what families need.
The main house, for example, offers 280 square metres of living space, with five bedrooms and three bathrooms, accommodating up to ten guests. The impressive Westerscheune is suitable for up to twelve people, with four single beds and four double beds. It also offers 280 square metres, though the high ceilings in the ground-floor living areas and kitchen/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 baking oven, creating a particularly cosy atmosphere.
Johanna also rents out the Caecilienhof, located around 100 metres further southwest on the estate. This white house is another small gem, offering six bedrooms and space for up to fourteen guests across 280 square metres of living space. There is also an old workshop building, as well as a smaller cabin-style room for guests needing less space.
Ideal for
Families with children looking for a peaceful and relaxed week by the Baltic Sea. The estate is also well suited to larger groups, with the central courtyard offering plenty of room to gather, weddings have even been held here.
Wellness
There is also a sauna with a relaxation room in a separate building, which can even be used for private celebrations or small events.
