Does anyone have a place to recommend for one night in Cochem or Moselkern? We are using trains, so we can't drive out of the towns. Thank you!
In the absence of any clues as to the type of place you're looking for (cheap? plush?) you should look at these rec's for a variety of places in Cochem, with photos and comments at Ben's pages; just scroll down to the Mosel towns: http://www.bensbauernhof.com/accommodationsrhinemosel.html
In 2008, I spent four nights in a place called Treis-Karden. It's actually two towns, Treis on the east side of the Mosel, Karden right across the river. A bridge connects them. The train station is in Karden; I stayed in Treis. The station in Karden is 6 minutes south of the station in Moselkern. Cochem is 7-11 minutes south of there, depending on the train. I stayed in a Privatzimmer, Gästezimmer Löhr. There is one double room and one apartment, both with private baths, on the top floor of a private residence. The owners speak very good English. Peter will pick you up at the station in Karden.
Thank you for the responses. Yes, I may not have given enough clues, but I am looking at the website provided and the other place out of town. Our preference is to stay in a B&B, no luxury required. There are three of us, which cuts down on some options, and only staying one night before moving on. thanks again!
