Fabulous weather for it – and so much to see, do and hear – plus some rather wonderful ice creams. Great way to spend a couple of the quieter hours in the day! PLUS we can do it again tomorrow before the next big biker group arrives! More pics in the Local Events section of [...]

We keep saying how lucky we are with our guests and here are some of the reasons why! 1. They almost never moan when the weather is not perfect! 2. They smile – a lot! 3. They offer useful advice and ideas about how to improve our service – recently one guest spent several hours [...]

Chapter 3 – Where To Start. Cake and coffee in the square (main street) in Gmund is as good a place as any.  It’s a very pretty little town with lots of places to sit and have c&c.  There is shoe shopping (sorry you didn’t get to take advantage of that Linda…next year perhaps) but [...]

Well here we go – the new website is ready to roll and we are really very excited by the prospect. Our friend and colleague, Achim, has done us proud – again! OK – we know it won’t be prefect from Day One, but we have high hopes that it will prove to be a [...]

Dear Readers – I had no intention of interfering in the flow of Jane’s adventures, but have broken my vow of silence to extol the virtues of this – http://www.shakespeare-in-styria.eu/ – which I went to see last night. I really wasn’t expecting much – living close to the RSC spoils you – but can only [...]

Chapter 2 – Back to Basics and Moving On OK, well the website will give you details like numbers of rooms etc but more basic information is always good. Rooms are excellent, doubles are singles put together and mattresses are excellent, as is the bed-making (Pauline is Queen of The Bedchambers and does fantastic hospital [...]
