Hotel Gutshaus Parin

The road to Hotel Gutshaus Parin passes through open fields and gently rolling countryside, setting the pace for a few quiet days away. In the small village of Parin in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, this organic hotel offers country-house character, vegetarian food and some wonderfully individual touches, including a swimming pond and a sauna in a circus wagon. The Baltic coast is close enough for a day out, but there is plenty of reason to spend an afternoon right here.

About the hotel

The restored manor house is the heart of the property, home to the reception, restaurant, café and some of the guest rooms. Beside it stands the Zirbenhaus, or Swiss Pine House, whose sunny rooms face south, southeast or southwest. Around the estate, gardens and terraces leave plenty of space for a book, a conversation or simply a quiet moment outdoors.

Food is a central part of a stay here. The kitchen prepares vegetarian and vegan buffets using 100% organic ingredients, with dishes changing according to the season. Meals are served in the manor house’s vaulted cellar, rustic wine tavern and sunny winter garden. The hotel’s own bakery supplies fresh cakes and pastries for afternoon coffee, which can stretch pleasantly into the afternoon on the terrace beside the estate pond.

The natural swimming pond has a 25-meter swimming area, with plants and biological processes helping to keep the water clean. Wooden decks, lawns and a small sandy beach provide places to dry off in the sun. Nearby, pink circus wagons house the sauna and a bright relaxation room—a memorable spot to warm up after time outdoors. The sauna is heated on request, so guests should give the team an hour’s notice.

The hotel’s environmental approach runs through everyday decisions, from organic food to the materials used in the buildings.

Things to see and do

There is plenty to enjoy without leaving the hotel grounds: a swim in the pond, a session in the sauna or a leisurely walk. The hotel also offers morning exercise, massages and yoga retreats on selected dates, while the Seelendo sound dome hosts scheduled events.

For a little more activity, bicycles and e-bikes are available to rent for exploring the Klützer Winkel’s gently rolling countryside.

The seaside resort of Boltenhagen offers sandy beaches and a promenade for leisurely walks. In nearby Klütz, Schloss Bothmer is worth a visit for its baroque architecture and landscaped grounds. Wismar’s UNESCO-listed old town makes another rewarding day trip, with brick Gothic churches, a historic market square and a harbor to explore.
