Landgasthof Hotel Will hosts weddings, birthdays and anniversary dinners for up to 50 guests in the village of Untergeis, part of Neuenstein in northern Hesse. The family has run the inn for three generations. It stands at the entrance to the village in the Geisbach valley, and the hotel rooms on site let guests stay the night.
Weddings and receptions
The inn presents its event offer under the name Eventsaal. It covers weddings, birthdays and jubilees. Three spaces can be used. The Festsaal takes up to 50 people. The Leuchtturmzimmer, a smaller room, takes up to 20. The restaurant dining room also seats up to 50 and can serve as a third space for a smaller party.
The team arranges the rooms to the host's wishes and sends seating plans on request. Planning starts with the date, so the inn asks hosts to give it as early as possible.
Rooms and capacities
Festsaal: up to 50 guests. Leuchtturmzimmer: up to 20 guests. Restaurant: up to 50 guests. The website does not state floor areas, ceiling heights or technical equipment, so a planner who needs a stage, a screen or a sound system should ask before booking.
Accommodation
The hotel offers bright rooms, some with a balcony. The website does not give the number of bedrooms, so a wedding party that wants to sleep on site should ask how many rooms can be held. Check-in runs from 11:00 to 14:00 and from 17:00 to 21:00, and check-out is at 10:00. Breakfast is served from 6:30, and from 7:30 on Saturdays and Sundays. Coach groups are a regular guest type, and the site has a separate page for bus travelers.
Catering
The kitchen does everything in house, from the starter to the dessert and the midnight snack. Its cooking is traditional German, and the inn stresses its own slaughtering. For large parties it publishes buffet suggestions. One of them runs from a beef broth with egg custard and a leaf salad to venison goulash, baked redfish fillet and a pork roast in beer sauce, with vanilla ice cream and hot raspberries to finish. Another is built around pork neck, a stuffed beef roulade and a pear dessert. A third offers pork medallions, salmon on spinach and boiled beef. Hosts can also set the menu themselves, and the kitchen builds it around their requests.
History and setting
The house sits on the edge of a forested part of Hesse that attracts walkers. The festival town of Bad Hersfeld is close, with shops and cultural events, and it gives guests a second reason to stay for a weekend.
Getting there
The inn is at Am Sportplatz 1, 36286 Neuenstein-Untergeis. The A7 exit Bad Hersfeld-West is 4 km away, and the village sits near the geographic center of Germany, which makes it a practical meeting point for guests coming from the north and the south. Parking details are not given on the website, so ask the inn how many cars fit and whether buses can turn.
