    The view out of our balcony was the Cochem castle right across the river. Stupendous! Location and free parking was ideal.

Company info

We operated other guest rooms in Cochem, as well as a holiday apartment above our wine house on Schrombekaulplatz in Cochem. We took over the Pension Altes Fährhaus in January 2023 and partially renovated it and are very much looking forward to the new, additional challenge.

Property info

The house was built in 1911 and used as a ferry house, so there are stairs directly opposite the house and a barrier-free descent to the Moselle. At that time there was no bridge and therefore the ferry was the only connection for humans and animals to get to Cochem! It is now a historic building, which has been expanded again and again into our beautiful guesthouse in recent years.
