Fantastic! Our stay at Rolf's couldn't have been more perfect... Everything from start to finish was really great. We arrived to a super friendly welcome and treated to a well needed drink in the lovely bar area. Our room was great, immaculately clean, lovely decoration and had everything we needed. We ate in the dining room and we couldn't fault anything... We had the venison and the rack of lamb, both beautifully cooked with lovely vegetables and potatoes, followed by a some great local cheeses and a glass of port. The breakfasts were hearty, filling and beautifully presented with a fantastic selection. Decoration throughout the property is creative and inspiring with a lovely stylish yet comfortable approach. Service throughout our stay was brilliant... Friendly, welcoming and efficient. We wanted for nothing. It is a family/friends run establishment and this really shines through - there is a great vibe. If we are in the area in the future it would definitely be our destination and we highly recommend.

Nothing

Rolf’s is ideally located only 10 minutes away from Baltimore’s village centre by foot. The hotel is built around a beautiful garden and it is very tastefully decorated. It has been owned by the same family for two generations and the owners as well as the staff were very welcoming and professional. Breakfast and dinner were excellent. The rooms are very quiet, clean and modern while retaining their country house charm. Attention to detail is second to none with little biscuits in the room and complimentary drink upon arrival, a tea & coffee facility in the corridor leading to the room with biscuits and danish pastries at disposal every day. We really enjoyed our stay.

Everything. The location is a few minutes outside the village, but it's ideal for the setting. The house was gorgeous. The gardens were so peaceful. It really felt like we were away from the world. The room was comfortable and spotlessly clean. We had dinner in the restaurant and breakfast each morning and it was outstanding. Everything was delicious. The staff were fantastic. So pleasant and friendly, and nothing was too much trouble. Definitely would return and would highly recommend. The little welcome drink was the little cherry on top of an excellent mini break

We only stayed for 2 nights.

We spent two nights at Rolf’s in Baltimore and had a truly wonderful experience. The room was small but charming, clean, and fully adequate for a comfortable stay. The food was outstanding — refined French-style cuisine with a subtle German touch. We started with the scallops St. Jacques and the duck liver, both rich and perfectly balanced. For mains, the venison was cooked beautifully, and the fish stew — still made by their mother — was absolutely delicious and full of tradition. What really made our stay special was the warm, welcoming atmosphere created by Frederica and Johannes, the lovely brother-sister duo running this family business. Frederica was a perfect host — gracious and attentive — while Johannes impressed us not only with his culinary skills but also with his sense of humor and passion for cooking. It’s a charming and heartfelt place, where you feel the family history and pride in every detail. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Baltimore — both for dining and for a peaceful, authentic stay.

Breakfast was superb—we had the poached eggs and avocado, which were delicious. The location is remote, so a car is necessary to get around, but we were aware of that beforehand, and honestly, that’s part of the charm of staying in a Country House. Freiderike greeted us warmly with a smile, took the time to explain everything we could do in the area, and let us know when they’d be available. The surroundings were lush and green, and although it was quite cold outside, the room—as well as the shared kitchen and sitting areas—were warm, cozy, and inviting.

We received a warm welcome when we checked in, with a complimentary drink in the beautiful and sunny garden. Our room was clean and quiet and perfect for our two night stay. We dined in the restaurant on our first night, and the food was delicious. We enjoyed cocktails in the bar on our second night, which were also very good. The continental tower for breakfast was served beautifully. Also, the cooked to order omelette and scrambled eggs with bacon were very tasty! Overall, it was a fantastic stay!

Linda and I plus my brother and his wife enjoyed our 3 nights at Rolfs . The welcome from Frederica and Johannes with Prosecco on arrival was a foretaste of things to come . Our rooms were comfortable and smart with just the right atmosphere.Great breakfasts … with super selection of cooked choices and delicious fruit/ yoghurts/cereal and home made bread. ( poached eggs Benedict cooked by Johannes was my favourite). We enjoyed dinner on one night … Wild venison steaks on a bed of red cabbage was magnificent. The real bonus was the fact that this is a family guest house with 3 generations interacting with guests and creating a welcoming atmosphere. We will return

Nothing for this section

Unique, beautifully maintained property and surroundings on hill above Baltimore, just ten minutes walk from harbour and restaurants. Warm welcome with greeting drink. Very confortable sleep. Breakfast presentation and content excellent. Lots of space to relax and enjoy time with friends. Nowhere else like it. Private parking. Biscuits with generous tea/coffee making facilities.

No hair conditioner or soap bar or lotion or wash cloth. Small TV—could not read news headlines from bed!

One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in! A small family run hotel, which is super comfortable and beautifully laid out, with gorgeous courtyard gardens and comfortable sitting areas. The restaurant is superb - really top class food, although it is important to book your table though - they take dinner reservations from non-residents, and the food is so good that they have quite a reputation and book up fast! The staff in hotel are very friendly and helpful, and they even give you a welcome drink on arrival. The hotel has a well stocked bar in addition to the restaurant. Breakfast is also superb. Overall staying at Rolf's is a wonderful and utterly enjoyable experience, which I will definitely be repeating!

Everyone we encountered was so friendly. It's just a delightful place. The food is truly exceptional -- everything.

The truth is, I don't even want to write a review because I'd prefer to keep Rolf's a secret. There are very few places in the world I can say that about. There are a few things that other people might not like: if you do not like small inns and villages, this is not the place for you. We would have enjoyed lounge chairs or hammocks for reading or resting in the sun, but set off on foot and in the car instead, took the ferry to Sherkin, and had a great time. We'll definitely be back. Thank you!
