What visitors say
Sprankenhof offers a mixed experience. Many visitors praise the idyllic setting, delicious fresh food, and opportunities for group activities like cooking workshops and scavenger hunts. The staff is generally described as friendly and welcoming, and the location is appreciated for its educational value, particularly for children, allowing them to pick their own fruit, vegetables, and even gather fresh eggs. Celebratory events are well-catered and hosted.
However, some visitors have found the experience lacking. A common complaint is the high prices of the produce and shop items, sometimes without prior warning. The lack of clear pricing and readily available information on what’s growing is another point of concern. The play facilities for young children are limited. One visitor recounted a negative interaction with staff who were rude about visitors on a closed day. Additionally, a few visitors noted unkempt gardens with a prevalence of nettles, making fruit picking difficult, and poorly maintained or overgrown areas. Some mentioned that the harvest strongly depends on the season.
