"Feines familiär geführtes italienisches Restaurant mitten in Wörsdorf. Das Essen ist sehr lecker und wird ganz frisch zubereitet , das schmeckt man auch. Insbesondere den Fisch kann ich ganz besonders empfehlen. Zum draußen sitzen gibt es einige Plätze im Hof. Diesen finde ich jedoch nicht sonderlich ansprechend. Es empfiehlt sich, zu reservieren, da selbst unter der Woche oft recht voll ist, was ja wiederum für Qualität spricht. Insgesamt sehr zu empfehlen.Die besten Restaurants in meiner Nähe"

"The Höerhof enjoys the reputation of a Nobel hotel in Idstein. I usually stand in Idstein in another, somewhat inexpensive hotel, as it was already occupied, I chose the Höerhof this year. The reputation of a Nobel hotel is already manifested in the parking lot of the hotel: when I arrived from 16 parked cars, ten were from a Bavarian premium brand. With my Seat Alhambra, I've almost gotten a fairytale. The price for a single room incl. Breakfast with approx. 115. EUR still moves in the area of the acceptable. The Höerhof also includes a restaurant. Unfortunately, I couldn't test this at my stay, because for us as a group was already reserved for dinner in another restaurant. So I can only give a few impressions from the hotel itself and breakfast. Perhaps also of interest for one or GG readers. The hotel and restaurant is located on the edge of the very beautiful and interesting old town of Idstein. Coming from the old town you have to walk up a few meters as the building is slightly elevated. It is a very visually imposing and 400-year-old work building, more precisely a building complex consisting of four wings, which surrounds an attractive courtyard. Thick wooden beams and solid stone are also dominated in the restaurant, all of which are visually very appealing. It's quite angled everywhere. The restaurant is also not a large, rectangular room but a room with corners, angles and niches. The Höerhof also offers other rooms for celebrations. Breakfast is not offered as a buffet, but now the absolute exception is brought to the table in German hotels. Only the rolls and croissants as well as some cans of coffee stand on a small table in the middle of the room for self-service. Whether this is due to the small square in the restaurant or to the claim of the Höhrhof on exclusivity is deprived of my knowledge, possibly a combination of both. On the breakfast table itself there is already a bottle of water and a small carafe organ juice, as well as a brief information (in German and English what is offered for breakfast). Moreover, the table is visually pleasing. Immediately after entering the restaurant, an operation is ready to assign a place, and to inquire about its wishes – coffee or tea, and whether an egg is desired (from the agitator to the omelet everything is possible. On the lower plate three self-made jams and a honey are arranged in four glass bowls. The “various cheeses” announced in the published information emerged as two slices of hard cheese (eacher and a slice of soft cheese on the middle level. On the top floor there were some sausages – some liver sausages and a slice of ham, salami and smoked meat. The crowd was enough for me. Probably one would have been able to cope with demand. However, I found the very small selection. If breakfast is served in buffet form, the selection is usually far larger. Not only is there usually a larger selection of cheeses and sausages, things like cereals, cake fish, nut Nougat cream or other fruit juices were missing completely. I also missed the “green” components. Only two thin slices of cucumber beside the sausage, and fruit was missing completely. I couldn't even discover a fruit basket anywhere (maybe one stood around and I just had to ask... . As a passionate tea drinker I ordered a green tea for breakfast. This came in a teapot that enables the tea to be pulled in a clever way – the can can can be placed on one side, then the tea bag is in the water and can pull. Once the teapot is set up, the tea bag no longer protrudes into the water. Yet here too a big but: I had ordered a green tea. In this case, I also expect a “clean” green tea. But what came was a green tea perfumed with mango and lemon. Instead of newspapers, there were several trays. When switching on, several links to different daily and weekly magazines appear immediately. At home, I don't want to miss my paper-printed daily at the breakfast table, and would never sit down with a tray. In a hotel, however, I find this a great idea – on the one hand, for reasons of space, since a tray needs much less space than a newspaper that has been unfolded, and on the other hand you have access to several newspapers. Conclusion: Unfortunately, I can only judge breakfast, but I felt that it was quite disappointing. Although it is quite pleasant to pick up your breakfast at the buffet itself, it is brought to the table, in this case it is too much at the expense of the choice. At least the hotel could have a larger choice, for example more than just modest two types of cheese, and ask the guest before serving for his wishes. I feel very negative about the almost complete absence of vegetables (such as cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers and fruits (e.g. apples, bananas). I can't say anything about the quality of the restaurant. Only the note that the Höerhof sees itself as a gourmet cuisine and lies in the higher price range, with the menu being quite manageable."

"Das Restaurant Ponyhof ist sehr schön an einem Waldstück von Idstein gelegen.Das Ambiente des Gastraums lässt aber leider stark zu wünschen übrig. Alles sehr alt und renovierungsbedürftig. Noch dazu gibt es einen Raucherbereich im Restaurant und das riecht man leider auch im Nichtraucherbereich.Das Essen hat zwar lange auf sich warten lassen aber war dafür überraschend gut. Wir hatten verschiedene Fleischgerichte bestellt. Da gab es eigentlich nichts großartig zu meckern. Der Service war zwar etwas unsicher aber sehr nett, sodass das Unsichere nicht weiter gestört hat.Alles in allem war es in Ordnung. Würde am Erscheinungsbild des Gastraumes und an einer guten Abtrennung des Raucherbereichs deutlich gearbeitet werden, wäre es ein wirklich gutes Restaurant!"

"I visited Idstein last autumn on the proposal of an employee and was disappointed when Zur Peif was closed. The pictures and reviews on Tripadvisor drew me and we finally came there a few weeks ago with some relatives who were visited by the states. It was cool and rainy, so when we went in, it was a welcome answer from the elements. Iris, the owner, took care of us and she was much fun - she dedicated us to the history of the house and restaurants, the local hessian cuisine and the jazz festival in July among others. We asked them about recommendations and they were all good. The service was very good as the food, simply not spectacular, therefore 4 stars. For what it was, traditional hessic food, and I do not mean that in a bad way, it was very well prepared and presented. I am glad that we found Zur Peif open, I enjoyed our meal there, it was very cheap, and the atmosphere and service were very pleasant. I'd definitely go back."
