As a motoring enthusiast on his pilgrimage to the Nurburgring race track, my wife & I checked the net for hotels close to The Ring.

The Hullen is located in the most charming town of Barweiller which itself is located on top of a hill with broad views. As we drove in, we couldn't understand - & still don't know - where everyone was. It was sooo quiet. After 2 months on the go, the serenity was most welcome.

Other than its proximity to The Ring - approx 7kms - we can't recall why we chose the Hullen, but as we entered Reception, we knew we'd made the right choice. Our welcome was warm, friendly & professional.

The Hullen is SPOTLESS. A credit to the owners. Our room was large & bright; there's an honour system for a fridge containing beer & wine; the young lady overseeing breakfast was very helpful & couldn't do enough for all the guests; and mein host is a motoring enthusiast who, if he has time, will chat about all manner of local motor sport activities. Fascinating.

We wish we'd been able to stay longer in this quiet, spotlessly clean Hullen in the quiet - when we were there - Barweiller. Thoroughly recommend it to all travellers.
