Beautiful and Charming with Delicious Breakfast

We couldn't have asked for a better stay at By the Way Guesthouse. This beautifully decorated lodge is cozy and charming. The owners were very welcoming and helpful and the breakfasts, which can be delivered to your room, were to die for. I hope to return and stay in some of the other rooms - it was hard to choose just one!

Friendly welcome, beautiful touches in the unit. The full size stove/oven was a great help. Dining table, comfy sofa and bed with a warm vibe were all wonderful. Host was kind and responsive. Great stay!

Angenehmer Aufenthalt

Uns hat es im By the Way gut gefallen. Lediglich die nahe Fernstrasse/Kreuzung kann am Morgen bisschen laut sein.

Rezeption ist nicht ständig besetzt und es empfiehlt sich ein benutzbares Mobiltelefon dabei zu haben. Wenn niemand im Haus ist muss man anrufen. Ansonsten gab es keine Beanstandung. Das Haus liegt gleich an der Abzweigung nach Clarens und in die Ottsmitte sind es ein paar hundert Meter zu Fuss. (Grösstenteils kein Fussgängerweg vorhanden)

A little treasure in Clarens

What an amazing find! My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend stay and found the accommodation charming. We especially enjoyed the picnic baskets served to your room, allowing us to enjoy the welcome luxury of having breakfast in bed. A delightful, great value stay - highly recommended!!! Thank you so much to the chef owner who also accommodated our complicated dietary requirements - really very appreciated!
