Katy Woolf review 24 Sep 20125 star rating

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?


Visiting the Dachstein mountains was amazing, and fantastic that it was so close to the B&B. Everyday we spent was exciting and memorable as there was so much to do and the scenery was beautiful. Even just looking at the view from our balcony was memorable and we could have easily spent our days relaxing there if there hadn't been so much to get out and see.

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?


Ask for Trevor and Debbies advice on where to go as they have so much local knowledge and they helped us make sure we didn't miss out on anything we really wanted to do. If you are going for the walking/views, take the rougher path
around to the left of theDachstein mountains as it was so quiet and we hardly saw anyone. I would also recommend the waterfall in Halstatt- again we hardly saw anyone and it was so beautiful.

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?


The owners told us all the local restaurants that we could visit, so we made sure we went to one each night, supporting the local community.

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?


This is an amazing holiday and exactly what we were looking for. There was plenty to do for the 5 days we stayed, and all right from the B&B without the need for a car. The views were consistently amazing and we could not have hoped for
any more. The B&B was really friendly and homely, and the owners were helpful, friendly and made sure we enjoyed our stay.

Fantastic.
